dancin' the night away

Tonight was the "showcase" for the summer intensive dance camp at the studio where I work. Seventeen of the eighteen girls who participated in the camp got a chance to present to their parents, family, and friends what they've been learning for the past three weeks.

While I am aware that the girls were in attendance at our camp based on a dance audition and only the best were invited to attend, I am still amazed at what these girls (ages 12 to 18) were able to accomplish. They presented 15 numbers in an hour and a half long program and every one of the participated in a flamenco, jazz, hip-hop, tap, and ballet number.

I work in the theatre, but it amazed me how well these girls could remember the step combinations to so many different numbers.

Needless to say, I thought the evening went very well, but am grateful that the day and the camp are now at an end.
