Confidence Boost


Guess what?
 

 
I'm still famous.
 
 
It sure is nice of them to let me still be a part of it. The ensemble had a beautiful performance at the Covey Center for the Arts last Thursday.
 
My heart will always ache to be dancing up there with them.

Ode to BYU International Folk Dance Ensemble

 
 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.
