Day 5 ... dress rehearsal

I had a fun afternoon with my nieces, practicing for their performance this Sunday at the Dragon Boat Festival.  It was great to see the dances with costumes!  LOVE the costumes!!!  I also practiced with them, so I could possibly perform with them for our family reunion.  We worked on both Tahitian and Hawaiian style dancing.  The Hawaiian was on the floor, and my knees felt much better, and I was able to practice with them!

Day 4 ... healthy all day!

My niece is here for the day - she is so motivating and inspiring.  She spent hours dancing today - Dance Central, hip hop to iTunes, and hula.  And we ate 100% healthy all day!!!  It was a great day!

Day 3 ... niece practice at home

Fun practice session today with my nieces.  Love getting in a workout!  And really loving having our own dance studio at home.

Day 2 ... dance camp

Today was I was to say goodbye to my sweet son, he is attending a leadership camp for a week.  Good news, my sweet niece came to stay with me for a few days, and have our own "dance camp."   Tonight we practiced hula!  And my niece tried about Dance Central on XBox.  She is a delight to have around!

Day 1 ... Starting over

It's been a while since I've blogged. Life got crazy - was ill, went to Australia, started a new job, my husband was in the hospital, my son had 3 trips, I started 2 new volunteer jobs, ...

Well enough! I still feel that hula and Polynesia dance is the best form of exercise for me. I haven't quit, and I have danced a few times a week.

Today we started again! We practiced the hula and Tahitian choreography that the girls will be performing at the Dragon Boat festival.

I threw out my back a week ago, so it was really hard to dance. But I did it!

My niece is amazing - a beautiful dancer, inspiring and motivated!
