{January 10, 2007} Cady’s success!

I am very proud to announce that Cady, my private lesson student won first place in the “Solo dance” category of the competition she went to!! I had been working with Cady for 8 months, since May of 2006 to December 2006. I taught her an original choreographed piece that she performed at the Millie Lewis AMTC Talent competition in Los Angeles, California. This competition is very large and people from all over the United States come to compete. I can not take all of the credit for the accomplishment, because Cady performed the piece. However, I am very excited that my choreography was award-winning choreography! I plan to have pictures and clips from our pratices available soon…

Go Cady!

{January 5, 2007} Goodnight Moon

Ever read the story book, “Goodnight Moon?” Well, I had the honor of performing with the Roanoke Ballet Theatre in Roanoke, Virginia the story of Goodnight Moon. The Performance took place at the Jefferson Center in June of 2006. I had a solo in the scene of “Air Everywhere.” It was great fun and a great success! Video Clips will be coming shortly!

Here’s a picture of my lift (fun!):

{January 3, 2007} World Premiere of “BIRDS”…

Hello to all visitors!

I would like you to know that the world premiere of BIRDS was presented on December 15, 2006 and it was a total success! This show was created solely by me, with the intentions to raise an awareness of peace and acceptance among others. My intentions for the show is to bring together all races, all religions and all beliefs. The first show was on December 15, 2006 and I plan to have the show be performed again in the future. I had the pleasure of working with the William Fleming high school students and a few of the William Ruffner junior high school students. The experience was very gratifying and the message was recieved. I plan to possibly have clips available for viewing on “Youtube.com” or directly on this site in the future!

Special Thanks to Liza Fritz-Deck, Rodger Johnson, and Mr. Jimmy Deck for all of your help!

Thank you to all who supported me with the show!
