Showstopper Dance Competition This Weekend
February 21, 2008
This weekend we will be journeying to Phoenix on our annual February trek for the Showstopper Regional Dance Competition. Once again, Suzanne and the kids will be competing in various dance categories. As usual, Mr Papa will be on the sidelines in the audience watching the performances.
This year, Savannah will be competing in six different dance categories. The dances she will be performing are:
- Lyrical – “I Call Your Name”
- Jazz – “I Want Money”
- Tap – “Just A Little Bit” from Happy Feet
- Clogging – “Kickin”
- Hip Hop (solo) – “Me and My Girls”
- Song and Dance (solo) – “Walking on Sunshine”
Sean is taking it a bit easier this year and will only be competing in two dances:
- Clogging – “Kickin”
- Clogging (solo) – “The Big One” by George Strait
In addition, the kids will be teaming up together for a duet:
- Folkloric (duet) – “Norteno”
This year, Suzanne will be competing in two dances:
- Folkloric – “El Tolol0che”
- Song and Dance (solo) – “New York, New York”
We usually have to get up there early on Friday for some of the competitions, but by the luck of the draw, this year all of the family’s dances are on Saturday. So we will go up Friday afternoon and get to come back Sunday morning. We will likely hang around the hotel in the morning a bit for the kids to have a swim.
Another pleasant surprise for the dance competition this year is that Suzanne’s Aunt and Uncle (Maureen and John) will be in Phoenix during this time and will be trying to join us on Saturday for some of the dances.
It should be fun and a nice tune up for the Showstopper National Dance Competition this summer at Disney Land.
Savannah’s Birthday Party
January 18, 2008
Savannah’s Birthday was this past Wednesday. Tomorrow, we will have a big Birthday bash for her. We usually have fairly big Birthday parties for each of the kids every other year. On the off years, we usually have a more reserved family party or go out for a nice dinner.
This year, Savannah wanted a Rock N Roll birthday party. I am not quite sure what that means, but will find out tomorrow. There are a dozen or so kids and a few adults coming over tomorrow for the party. For activities, Savannah and Suzanne have been planning the following fun:
- Karaoke Singing
- Rock N Roll Dance Off
- Rock N Roll Name That Tune
- Guitar Hero Competition on the Xbox 360
- Catch Phrase Rock N Roll Music Edition
- Smash the Hannah Montana Pinata (hope I get a turn
)
I will be cooking up a bunch of pizza for the sure to be hungry kids. And of course, we will also have the requisite cake and ice cream. This should be a fun day for Savannah. She is really excited about the party and this Birthday in particular, as she turned 10. She has fun calling herself a pre-teen now.
