Ballroom Dance Soiree

Here is Lissie with dance teacher

Arianna Heck

Every year the ballroom dance classes culminate their year with a Soiree at the Village Pavillion. It is an evening of elegance as each class displays their diverse dance skills. Lissie and Christian have been taking lessons since the classes started being offered in 2005, and Bryant since two years. They are all together now in the advanced class in which they were taught some impressive routines for salsa, rumba, swing, and even a 50s dance to "Tutti Frutti." Here is Lissie (and friend Catherine) in her Poodle skirt just before the performance.

Bryant and Lissie also learned a couples swing routine to
"Dance with Me Tonight"
Here they are just before their first performance:

We had to come up with new costumes (rather than the blue dress remake and bow-tie from a previous post). That pretty blue dress was unfortunately causing some technical problems. But they still looked WAY cute!

Here is the YouTube video:



Here are Bryant and Christian at the end of the evening with their teacher, Arianna:

And a couple more pictures of them with Lilly (Arianna's daughter):

Can you tell the camera was getting weird on me?
