Shayna working her magic with the makeup

This was the last time for the zombies to dance together (or so we thought) and they were AMAZING!!! 1st place trophy, Excellence in Dance award and then they were asked to come back on Sunday and dance in the finale at the dance off. They totally rocked it! Hard work and dedication by all of the team and especially from Shayna. We ♥ you Shayna!!! This team had so many obstacles to overcome, they had 3 or 4 members drop off the team and they had to add new members in that had to learn the dance and 1 week before nationals we had a new guy join and he had to learn the whole dance in just a week...way to go Blake, Stacy and Shayna for making that work out!
Shayna got some of that liquid latex and painted ugly, nasty scars all over their faces and then put the zombie makeup overtop and it was NASTY but looked great! These kids were really dedicated by coming in 2-3 hrs early to get hair, makeup and costumes on before each performance!

Relay for Life

The dance team that Kenzie dances with was asked to dance at the Relay for Life at Union practice field and they were on a teeny, tiny stage and ran into each other and Kenzie got smacked in the face but they really had fun and it was for a great cause.

Dance party

The kids were so excited because on Thursday they had a dance party to celebrate their win at competition last weekend. They watched all the videos and just played and played with their friends. Kenzie and I made cookies for each team. Kenzie did most of the decorating since she wanted the practice for her girls club, they turned out cute and were gone before we knew it!
The parents started discussing fund raisers for Nationals if you have a great fund raising idea let us know! We are thinking about selling candy, flower bulbs, scented pencils, snack mix bags, beef sticks and maybe even trash bags.

Fearless Force dance team

The name of their dance song was Victims of Erosion. Their teacher Shayna had a dream about them doing a zombie dance so she choreographed it and this is the final result. This is Kenzie's dance team and they rocked it last night at competition. They won 4 awards and one of them was 1st place over all of the other teams!!! Ok, I have to warn you that if you have little kids you might now want them to see this because they look a little freaky with their costumes and makeup! We are so proud of the whole team because they gave it all they had last night after much name calling by other dancers and horrible comments to them for their costumes and makeup. When it was all over other dancers came up to them and congratulated them on how AWESOME they were and some even told them it was the BEST dance they had EVER seen!

For some reason the video was removed from You Tube but it will be back up in a couple of days but if you want to see if now leave me a message and I will send it to you on Facebook!

National dance competition-2009

Here comes some major braggin from a proud mama so please just leave tons of comments and tell me you love my braggin...it makes me feel good! LOL! Kenzie is in this dance group in Tulsa called Fearless Force and let me tell you that they rocked the National competition in Branson, MO and won 2nd place! We are so super duper proud of them because it's the first year that many of them have EVER danced and they only started learning their dance in October and when they first competed they only had 4 in their dance crew and now it's 6. We just adore their dance teachers Shayna and Adame...they are sent from God above to teach our kids to dance! I'm not kidding either they truly have a heart to reach out to kids through dance and they have more patience then ANYONE I have EVER seen and they LOVE these kids like crazy! Anyway, if I can ever get the video to load I will add it on here so you can see it but until then you will just have to settle for the photos!
