^^Warming up for and rehearsing during dress rehearsal.
^^The dream team..and my costume (found it at Target!)
^^Best friends since we were toddlers :)
^^Hanging out backstage before opening number.
My show last week was such a blast. The Community Council for the Arts in my hometown hosted a big fundraiser to raise money for the arts. There were 8 couples...8 pro dancers paired with 8 hometown stars...and it was oh-so-fun to perform again. Michael (my partner) did an amazing job! A non-dancer who put up with me making him do things a billion times, became such a great partner (lots of lifts!!), and was a ton of fun.
The Arts Council also brought in a hair and make team for all the dancers...and wow!, mine were amazing. These pictures don't do their work any justice. I wish these ladies would show up to my house every morning.
My sister and parents helped me out so much during all these rehearsals. A big thanks to them. The boys came along with me for some of them...but they had fun playing trains at Mimi and Grandpa's house during a lot of those rehearsals as well. :)
And here's a really short snippet of our dance during rehearsal....hopefully I'll get a better copy of the actual show to share sometime soon.
Happy Friday!!!

Run down of my thoughts while watching the video, "Yes Leg!" "Yes Chaines Turns!" "Yes Lift!" "Werrrk!" Can't wait to see the final cut of the video. You still got it Ashley! :)
