Samba, Anyone?

Last year and this year Jessica has been on the Elementary School Ballroom Team at her school.  She has Loved it!  They just had their year end concert.  They got to do a dress rehearsal at the school and then a performance for the parents that night.  She puts a lot of time and effort into Ballroom.  She stays after school 2 days a week and doesn't get home until after 5pm on those days.  They wait for the first hour for the first year group to practice.  Jessica is always good about getting her homework done while she waits.  Then the second year group gets to practice after that.

Here is a picture of both the first and second year teams.  The kids with black shirts are the second year.  As you can see there are twice as many girls as boys.  So the boys get to dance with two girls each.  They usually change partners half way through the dance.

They have multiple dances and multiple outfit changes.  They always look so cute.  Here the girls are watching as a couple from the High School perform.  They have learned the Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Swing and her current favorite is the Samba.


And if you want to see how cute they are, here is the video.  It is amazing to see the difference and improvement as she is in the class longer.

Dance away Jess!
