Ok look...I had spring break and then I was gone for another week
I'll explain...(the short and sweet version)
I went to Seaside, Florida two weeks ago with about 30 of my closest friends for Spring Break. It was tons-o-fun! I only got burnt one day and the rest of the time it was smooth sailing!
(Yes that's a washed up jelly fish in the last picture. Exhibit A: reason I don't get in the ocean)
I got back from Florida on a Thursday and on Monday I was off to New Mexico for a college dance convention called ACDFA. It was a lot of unpacking, laundry, and packing in a short amount of time, but I got it done. We were in New Mexico for a week (we got back this afternoon).
I have to brag on aTm a little bit as I share some exciting news!...40 different colleges attended this convention and each school brought a dance with them to compete for a spot in the gala show at the end of the week. We brought two students (myself and my friend Andrea) and our 3 dance teachers ((well they brought us)). Andrea and I performed our duet called "Bound" on the first night of the convention.
Over the course of the week, 48 pieces were danced and judged by our 3 "adjudicators" (fancy word for judges). Up to 12 of the judge's favorite works from the week could be chosen for the gala performance on Saturday. Results for the gala were posted in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday. I was woken up to my duet partner at 2:30 am on Saturday to hear that we were one of 9 selected to dance in the gala!! It was such exciting news! We danced our final performance of "Bound" at ACDFA last night with some of the most talented college students I have had the pleasure of sharing a stage with. What an honor and absolute privilege that was!
{I would love to eventually post a video}
More to come later....for now I'm off to sleep off this crazy week!!
Nothin but love,
Bethany
