It's an epic week, I actually really can't stand the word epic, so I am open to options you might have to replace it with a different one.

I have been very busy shooting and planning, shooting and planning. The kids have been fighting off sickness and John is busy working through his last month of school.

And now it is Dance Week.

And despite the craziness that these few weeks are bringing us, we LOVE it. Really, I am not being sarcastic.

Four of our children take part in Pantuso Dance, and this is recital week. Groove 2010.

It is about my kids experiencing being in something bigger than just them, appreciating the talent of their peers and feeling proud of their personal hard work.

For me, it is about so much more than seeing my family, it is about community. In a small town like this, chances are most of the parents know a bushel of the kids performing and in many cases have watched them grow up. There are tons of children who have been clients participating in the show, and I get such a kick out of seeing all of them bring their own groove and personality to the show.

Pantuso teaches children and adults, so there are levels of experience and comfort with dance and performing. This year, the adult musical theatre class really wowed me - way to go! I am sure some of you are really stepping out of your comfort zone, but you wouldn't know it from your performance and stage presence.

There truly is so much talent happening, on the organizational end of things and within the performers. .

I took a ton of photos which I have yet to go through, but here are few:






 
There might be a few tickets left for tonight and tomorow's show - totally worth it. If you are thinking of a dance school for your little people, or yourself, I can't say enough good things about the leadership and community of Pantuso Dance.
