I just got back on Sunday from going on tour to the Pacific Northwest with Theatre Ballet. We were gone nine days, with eight performances. Phew! Honestly, I was a little nervous about going, but it turned out to be an amazing experience. After each show, we went out in costume and met the audience as they were leaving. Many people had never seen a ballet before but they knew there was something special about our company. The little girls especially loved it; we took pictures and signed lots of autographs. In short, we felt like little celebrities which is definitely out of the ordinary.

Ron, my favorite and one of the most amazing people I know. He's the Dance Trainer and he came along to help our bodies stay in one piece!
I count myself so lucky to be on the Company and to have been able to meet so many people on tour and strengthen friendships. I have learned so much more about how the arts are so closely linked to the gospel and how we can be missionaries in everything we do.
