Dad is so excited!

My dressing room (check out the horrible 1980's costume!)

After several months of classes, practices and rehearsals, the recital is over! This was definitely a lot more work than I ever thought it would be. At first, I thought I would just take some classes for exercise. Somehow I ended up performing at the "7th Annual Cultural Encounter honoring Puerto Rico". It was at the University of Houston's Cullen Performance Hall and all 1,500 seats were sold out! I danced in hip hop and belly dance. We all met at the studio at 9:45 in the morning (for a 7:30 show) and rode in these really nice buses for the 30 minute ride to the show. We had hair and make-up artists there to help us get ready and dressing rooms with people to help with our costumes. It was so much fun; I felt like a star for the day! No cameras were allowed during the show, so when I get a copy of the DVD I will post it online. Take a close look at the picture of me with my mom and dad, dad's face is priceless!
