Sometimes I find myself reflecting on the "glory days" - 2007 through 2009.
Ukrainian Hopak
Classical Indian - My Favorite
Modern Indian - Bollywood - Okay another favorite
Southern Waltz
Russian
Mo Li Hua - China
Some of the closest friends a girl could ever ask for.
Irish
My feet are in the middle. (My calves were always the wimpiest!)
Peforming our Pioneer Dance in Eastern Europe
Budapest, Hungary performance
Modern Clog
Traditional Clog
Polish children attacking me after a show - a standstill moment.
Our good luck beauty marks for Slovakian
Seeing billboards of ourselves throughout mainland China!
They were the most warm and welcoming culture of people ever.
And I always get shivers when I think about the day that missionaries can finally proselyte there.
Feeling Famous.
Sisters.
And family.
I still have dreams of performing with each of you. And the adrenaline before every show, and a prayer to be a performing missionary on stage. And a burning desire to share light through the beauty of dance.
These were some of the happiest days of my life. This was my mission.
And while I refer to them as the "glory days" my soul was never complete until I met my other half- that amazing man I am so lucky to be married to. But I do miss belonging to you, dear Performing Arts Company of Brigham Young University, 2007-2009.
