Showstoppers Weekend Again

February 20, 2009

Well, sort of… It is time for the regional Showstopper dance competition weekend in Phoenix once again. However, Suzanne’s and Savannah’s dance studio has decided to not do Showstopper this year. I am not really sure why, but the studio is passing this year.

That doesn’t mean the girls are passing this year – at least for Regionals. Tomorrow morning, bright and early at 4:00 AM, Suzanne and Savannah will head out the door to drive up to Phoenix for the competition. They both are only doing their solos. Technically, they still represent the dance studio, but I think they are the only ones going. Suzanne will be doing a single song and dance while Savannah will be doing two dance solos.

Suzanne’s song and dance routine is at 8 AM on Saturday, so she will need to try to get fresh after the 2 or 2 1/2 hour drive in the morning. Both of Savannah’s song and dance routines are on Sunday. So, they will spend the night in Phoenix.

Sean and I will not be going this year since its just a couple of dances. We will stay home and have a guys weekend at home. That means plenty of video games this weekend!

Good luck to the Girls!

New Dance Site Launched

October 3, 2008

Okay, time to reveal where I have been lately. Suzanne decided that the dance studio she and the kids go to needed a new and improved website. To be honest, they did. The previous one was fixed html and very, very slow due to incredibly large images (30 MB+) being show as thumbnails.

Anyways, she talked to the owner and “volunteered” me to work on a new website for her. I didn’t kick and scream very hard as they are fun to do. The site didn’t exactly come out the way I envisioned, but it did for the owner, which is the important part. I had a whole lot more subtle colors than what we ended up with. She wanted the more vibrant (ie bright) colors that are now on the site.

Anyways, I always appreciate feedback, so head on over to the Alma Dolores International Dance Centre new website and let me know what you think. There is still more work to be done and they are paying me a monthly fee for updates, so I have some new features planned too.

I hope to return to my normal posting now too…
