Amazing Quotes & a Dancing President!!!

Hey dancing divas! So I found this funny video of someone who looks like the president dancing and singing to a parody of "I will Survive". I'll insert the video another time. But since I just want to get the blog up soon, Search: "I am Barrack" - Barrack Obama dance parody.

Now I want to show you a competition dance to the real song "I Will Survive". It's a very cute dance, and I especially like it because they're not focused on tricks and turns the whole time. So search: I Will Survive - Dance Precisions.

So here are some of my favorite dance quotes, starting with #10. I found all of these quotes at the following web address.

I absolutely LOOOVE these quotes. Especially Martha Graham's. Let me know if there were any that stood out to you! Also, if you find any quotes you like, or come up with one on your own, post it in the comments. I would love to see them!

Next I want to remind you guys to send in your song choices. You still have two weeks before the contest starts, but it'll be here before you know it.

Also, don't forget to give your $9 to Sophea for Joann T-shirts! A few of you awesome people already have. As for the rest of you...! Just kidding :). We should be making the Tshirts soon, but with the competition coming up, it's been hard to schedule a day. Thanks!

Dance GOAL of the Week: Point your toes! (and don't sickle)

I mentioned picking one technique skill to work on per week in a previous blog; but I don't want any of you to accidentally "forget" :D. So for a few weeks I'm going to choose a technique skill we can all work on. This week is pointed feet. So even if your knees are totally bent, at least your feet will be pretty!

I'm going to put up a new poll tonight so it should be up soon!

Thanks for reading this Saturday's blog! It's kind of short, but I'm hoping to put up a few quickies this week anyway! Bye guys!
