Follow Your Insticts



Well, we are moving to Maryland very soon and I am getting excited about living so close to family. I have to say I am so sad to be leaving my students at Broadway Bound Dance Center. We had a competition this past week and my girls were just stunning. They took 1st prize and I got the top choreographers award. It just really reiterated what I new already. I have to trust myself and follow my instincts. I went outside the box with my choreography this year and have conducted my classes with my own way of teaching and treating the students. What has come from that is beautiful, confidant, full of themselves young ladies that are have the time of their lives. And best of all, I am too. I will really miss them, but they have been the best teachers for me and I will take this experience and go into the next faze of my life with more of a back bone (as Carolyn would say). Anyway, we are also looking forward to seeing Grandma Boppy for Easter. Yesterday Jetta read her Poo Bear book to Boppy on the phone for a long time. I have the phone on speaker and she places it down next to her carefully and begins to read, pointing to everything on the page and "reading" in a rhythmic (rhyming) pattern. She also sang, "twinkle twinkle" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" Then she took the phone and tucked it under the covers and said....."night night Boppy" She is hilarious! Jetta just loves to play hide-and-seek. She runs behind the TV and (if you don't call for her) says, "JETTA, JETTA!" and when you call her name she runs out with the biggest smile and falls into your arms in laughter yelling "there she is!"
