Showstopper

Dance Unlimited Girls & Madalyn with Geo

Tap class

Madalyn and I attended the Showstopper Dance Convention in Dallas on October 11 & 12 at the Grapevine Convention Center and Great Wolf Lodge. I hadn't ever been to anything like that before and it was definitely a learning experience for both of us. Madalyn took tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, ballet, pom pom, and song and dance classes for 16 hours over 2 days. Some highlights were learning Hip Hop from Geo. He was part of the Iconic dance crew on the first season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. She learned tap from an ex-Rockette and jazz from one Britney's backup dancers. I got to take makeup classes from one of the makeup artists for Young and the Restless and sit on plastic chiars or the floor until I was almost crippled from the back pain. :) Grapevine is a really pretty town and I would love to go and stay at the Great Wolf Lodge- it has an indoor waterpark, arcade, and wizard scavenger hunt. We stayed in Burleson so the boys would be entertained while we were at the convention, but Madalyn is pressing to go to Great Wolf for her birthday. We'll see.
