Camping and Climbing At Lake Tahoe 2010
July 3 (Saturday)
Arrived in camp around 4:00 PM (Fallen Leaf Camp).
Set-up camp. Prepared Santa Maria style BBQ tri-tip, beans and garlic bread with Joe, Albert, Dennis, Terry, Charlotte and us by 7:00. AMS had brought along the tapioca pudding she’d made and everyone enjoyed the treat. Later we were all annoyed by a very loud (and large) party causing a ruckus that kept us all up.

After the intensive course, AMS was able to do the splits and really improved her technique. She also had an introduction to contemporary dance, jazz dance, costume design and ballet history. What a great thing to do this summer.

SFBS Class Observation (June 2010)
Tuesday, June 1:
AMS left her ballet shoes at YBCA, so she couldn’t participate in the class observation. She just had to sit by the piano for the entire class.
Thursday, June 3:
She found her ballet shoes at “Lost And Found” at the school! So she was able to dance in the class observation.
There will be one more class in the year!
