Performing Group

It’s no secret that LaGrande Mermaid spends a lot of time at the dance studio.
What seems to be less evident, at least by a count of dance related bliefs, is how much she likes it.

This last weekend her group, named Animato, competed again; the season runs Jan through Feb/Mar and next weekend *might* be her last Animato performance of the 2011 season.
This weekend they performed two numbers a jazz number called “Proud Mary” in the blue costumes and a musical theater number called “Positoovity” in the white costumes. They did exceptionally well this time.

Positoovity got best overall (out of three numbers), the highest allowable ranking, and a special judges award while Proud Mary received the second highest ranking (both in the same age category) and another special judges award.

Without further ado,

Proud Mary

Today the choice was teacup – and looking back it was nice for a change not to worry about the proportions of an organic subject.
I have practice with inanimate, or man-made, shapes.

Here we see LaGrande holding the handle on her left and Biscotti on her right.
