Dance

This year was a GREAT "dance year" for the girls and, although we've already started anew, here are their end of the year pictures!

Utah Dance Fest-2013

We had another great year at Utah Dance Fest.  This year Mia, Bella & Hannah all competed.  Artistry In Motion did great and it's always fun to watch our babies do what they enjoy most!

The last dance...

until July that is! The spring dance recital was held on June 2-3 at the Western Wyoming Community College Theatre. It was such a nice facility to have the recital at and the girls did a beautiful job dancing!

"My Boyfriend's Back"



"Spiderman"




"Supergirl"




"Still Haven't Met You Yet"

Here are their second dances of that same competition. Bella & Hannah's team performs last in this clip. They appear in this order: Diamonds - 'Mad Hatter Mix'; Saphhires - 'Beauty Shop' and Emeralds - 'Spider Man.' Hannah is in black and Bella is in red during their 'Spider Man' dance. Enjoy!

Aspire Pro Dance Competition Pt. 1

Hannah and Bella recently competed in the Aspire Dance Competition in Rock Springs with their dance team, the Emeralds, from their dance studio, Artistry In Motion. Their dance, "Dream Big" is the first one in this clip and if you choose to keep viewing you'll see the Sapphires dance team perform "Technicolor" followed by the Diamonds dance team perform "Secrets". You can see Hannah waiting to come on stage as they are being announced. Her and Bella dance in the same 'cluster' of girls so just look for them {but they may be hard to follow}!

Their studio did awesome at this competition taking home these awards: Diamonds - Secrets: Best Choreography; Diamond (1st Place) & Teen Grand Champion. Sapphires - Technocolor: Ruby (1st place). Emeralds - Dream Big: Ruby (1st place); Junior Grand Champion & Judges Choice awards.

National Dance Day

Last week Bella and Hannah attended the Summer Slam Dance Camp in Salt Lake City. They had a great time and learned a ton. On Saturday {the last day of camp} it was National Dance Day and the entire camp performed a routine {that was learned in less than two days} to be submitted to the popular tv show So You Think You Can Dance. It was so fun to watch! If you look fast {and I mean really fast} you can spot Bella directly behind the heart on the big banner in the beginning.

Gem State Invitational

This past weekend we traveled to Pocatello, ID for another dance competition. Hannah's studio did AwEsOmE - taking home 3 - 1st place trophies, 2 - 2nd place trophies, 1 - 3rd place trophy and a best costume award. It was a great weekend! Here are some shots of Hannah performing her teams winning routines:

Aren't I beautiful? This is my head shot for the Utah Dance Fest. The Utah Dance Fest is a festival of dancing where it's also a competition against other dance teams. In the last couple of months, it has been crazy! Every where I looked there was dance classes. My last dance was called "Bailamos" which was a Spanish themed dance and our new dance is called "Crank It Up" and it is a hip hop routine. This summer I get to go to Las Vegas with my sister, Bella for dance camp. I feel very excited for what is coming up!
