Ballet. What else? :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We love Jeff!

Jeff is one of the professional dancers who has been in our ballet the last couple of years. He amazes us by spinning around, and around, and AROUND when he dances.

Jeff is very sweet, nice, and tolerant. He is the one who a couple of years ago lifted Kelsey onto his shoulder and discovered that someone had gotten sick on her in the wings. Blech. Gross. YUCK. He handled the whole episode with a smile and still came back the next year. You can't ask for more than that!

We LOVE Dante!

Dante is a professional dancer and rock climber from NYC. He started out as a breakdancer, which just seems to suit his personality :-). He can leap like you wouldn't believe. Or maybe you would if you have seen him dance.

We love his sense of fun and positive attitude,

and feel lucky to have gotten to know him over the last few years. He always has a smile and an encouraging word.

He is "THE PROFESSIONAL" Kelsey was excited about eating with in her Kelsey quote. She also got to hold his hand on stage which made her very happy :).

And we LOVE Miss Lori Ann!

Lori Ann is the creative force behind this ballet and many others. She has an amazing talent for translating a story into a show. She also works hard to cast many dancers (close to 100) in roles that are at the top of their ability - challenging, but do-able. She puts a Christian perspective in every show. She puts in countless hours choreographng, choosing music, teaching, and100 other things. She has put in many extra hours working with my girls and many others.

We are truly blessed to work with her.
