The 12 dancing princesses

Ok, maybe not TWELVE dancing princesses, but this post is dedicated to TWO dancing princesses! My sisters are two of the best dancers I know, and I am so proud of them! When I watch them dance, it makes me want to dance again. Elisse was very busy in December and put on her very own production of the Nutcracker.... She was the sugar plum fairy, Lauren was the Spanish dancer, my dad was Drosselmeyer and Spencer was the bearded lady. My camera died before I could film Elisse's Pas de Deux but it was beautiful and considering it was her first ever, she did amazing! Elisse and Addison in the NutcrackerElisse, Dad and Lauren after the performance... my dad was supposed to look crazy... I think it worked :)The family after the performance. Jed had to work late and wasn't able to comeThe two dancers


Elisse has done MANY other things in dance, but I'll have to dig up some old pictures and put them on here.

Lauren is a Junior at Alta and is continuing the tradition of being on the drill team (Elisse and I were both on it all three years of high school) and on Friday she competed her solo for the last time this year. She was really sick, but she still did awesome!Lauren and her friend Miranda before the performance


Lauren striking a sassy pose!This is a video of Hip Hop and Lauren's solo. We scream a lot for them while they dance to give them energy, so hopefully you can still hear the songs that they are dancing too... Lauren is on the Front left for most of Hip Hop She is the TALL skinny one :). Region is next week and I will record Military, Dance and Kick there and post those for you to see. They are incredible dances! This is mostly for you dancers (or dance moms.. Terra :) that I thought would like to see what I am always talking about ... I'm proud of my little Sis!
