Yea we are almost ready to start practice.

Time to get out and get my joints moving after a long long .... winter.

I began dutch dance in 10th grade. 19?? Barb my partner and I danced together all thru high school. After High School we participated for three years in alumni dutch dance. When we got the campground I had to hang up my shoes. In 2002 I could stand it no longer. I started dancing again. In 2006 Barb also came out or retirerment. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just like high school. Wait..........Wait............I don't remember this dance being so long. I don't remember kicking being such hard work. But, what fun!!!!!!!!

We where so happy when our daughter Mandy chose to Dutch Dance. In tenth grade they may join Dutch Dance, We also, invite new comers from our community to join us they start the same time as the high school at a community class. They start to learn the dance in January, practice it two times a week. Once they learn, they start in March like the Alumni. Just like any other sport they discover new muscles they never new they had, This picture is from the Mother, Daughter(Son) Dance during Tulip Time. What Fun, and truly a dream come true for Mom and Dad. Mandy joined me for five years for the Mother, Daughter dance.(She now lives in California and refuses to come dance with her Mother Hee Hee) Check in the office of the campground for a schedule to catch Barb and I dance.

And so the season is almost here!!! YEA!!!

  Every year our costumes undergo a inspection to make sure that they are auteintic, in good condition, and fit properly. (Some of the gals that are expecting have to have some major alterations done.) Barb had to get a new pair of shoes four years ago, they had cracked. And guess what size shoes she wears 41.  She does not have huge feet, the shoes are 27cm. I noticed that my shoes have a crack this year, so I will have to go get a new pair. Wonder what size I wear, that's scary my feet are bigger then Barbs.

Barb and I have a the same group this year, great group of gal. We had our first practice last Wendesday the 7th of March, we did not fall or hurt ourselves, yea!! Our costume inspection was a few weeks later. 

Inspection went well we both passed Yea!! Still no injuries Yea!! We go for coffee after practice giving us time to catch up. We find that chatting while we are dancing is kind of confusing. All rehearsals are done, now for dress rehearsal next Friday the 6th of May.

Looking forward to your arrival. Have a safe trip, call if you have any questions.
