The Wait...

So after 6 months of prep time, lots of performances, so much energy and time...the dancers are in final prep on 15 minutes of open stage time- one last time to check their shoes, costumes....how sticky or slick the floor is....and for the parents and teachers the  waiting begins! 

This is it!

Kayleigh Likens - On Pointe...

It was really an early morning- 5:30 AM....I could hardly sleep last night- I got to bed at 1AM!  So we met at Asolo for the drive to Tampa and our flight.  We are all so excited!

We checked into the hotel and had to go right away to the studio for rehearsal...it is hard to get studio time - so we are trying to make the most of every minute!  We will do a light run through today, and get a good rest tonight.  Tomorrow morning we are back in studio for rehearsal.  It is so exciting to see Miss Isabel, Mr. Javier and Mr. Dex here in New York!

Thank you to everyone in Sarasota who is cheering for us!

Here we are, NYC!
