Nationals.....

Wow....what an incredible week we had in Panama City Florida.  Thank you to my staff, dancers and parents for such a wonderful week!!

It's very difficult when you travel to such a beautiful place with inviting beaches and so many exciting things to do...to remember the actual purpose for the trip. LOL.

Congratulations to Anna Hudson, Kayla Grimes, Ashley Bingham, Ashley Clark and Brittani Detar for your amazing performance with the Showcase Opening number.  It was great seeing some of 'my' dancers up on that stage :).  To Shaylin Mathis, Tyler Johnsen, Aubryn Cunningham and Sydney Davis...my hat is off to you guys...National Showcase runner up !!!  Woot woot !! How exciting !  "Let's get married" did a great job at this Nationals....Out of 580 acts...you guys took home 1 of 6 Entertainment awards !!!  Talk about amazing !

Congratulations to everyone who danced to represent Page & Co Dance Academy....well done !

I did manage to catch a few waves while near the beach...they mostly just bounced around my ankles as they rushed the shore though. LOL.   I did see the most amazing rainbows...and even caught a glimpse of the end of one of those brilliant rainbows as it settled gently on the beach right outside my balcony.  The sight of Dolphins playing nearby and the full moon reflecting off of the ocean waters...those are among the memories I carry away from this competition.  Being amongst some of God's most wonderful creations can put things in perspective at times. I am in awe of His handy work...and scattered in the midst of all of these amazing sights were hundreds of smiling faces...the dancers, the kar staff, proud parents, my grandchildren and my children.

Thank you Page & Co family for a wonderful week :)

First...thank you for such a wonderful recital !!!!  Dancers... you were absolutely amazing !

...another wonderful year of dance is about to come to a close as we celebrate this afternoon with our 9th Spring Recital !!!!

Once again the Page family and Staff would like to thank you for sharing this special time with us and our students.  Much preparation has gone into today's performance...I am certain you will enjoy.

I would like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the many blessings He has showered on my personal family and my studio family this past year.  His love never ceases to amaze me !  Our greatest miracle this year has been the arrival of little Eva Isabella...most certainly God's hand at work in the lives of Robert, Brooke and Eva...their union as a family is not only evidence of His amazing love, but of answered prayer.

Though it seems hectic at times, I can look around me and KNOW that my Lord is alive and well...watching, smiling and enjoying the eager hearts of your children and my own.

Thank you to our parents, grandparents and extended family who work hard to see that the dancers you will enjoy today have this wonderful opportunity to explore the amazing world of dance.  We thank you for choosing us, Page & Co Dance Academy, to fill that place in the lives of your children.  We do not take this responsibility lightly...we know that we are often a tiny dancers first dance teacher...we understand how the gift of dance can change lives and mold confidant adults.

Our paths have not crossed by accident...as the Lord moves among us I find that I am so thankful for each tiny life He places in our midst.  May we in some way be a portion of blessing to you and your family today.

God's Blessings....Tammy
