I thought it would be fun to have a year in review....
We just always seem so busy; it's like we do a show and we don't have time to relive the experience because it's on-ward to the next one.
Soon.... It becomes a blur.
So... Here we go.....
Christmastime 2011.... Toys in the Sun at Markham Park
Headlined by country music star Travis Tritt.
It really rained buckets that day.... Performing in puddles gives 'singing in the rain' a whole new meaning, but everyone rose to the challenge.
See... Even last year, the group was matching-shoe-challenged. ;)
March 2012... St. Patrick's day
The true beauty of this tree shot was ALL the out-takes that didn't make the cut. I like this one because Becky looks fantastic. She's like... 'oh yeah... Check us out'
Sorry to everyone that was looking at a different camera... Except Mia in the front.
April 2012... Easter egg hunt (Davie)
The princesses in front were the tiny ballerinas in Lora's ballet class.
This event is a tradition now for us, good-sized crowd running into huge field of Easter eggs. Lots of fun.
This year, there was a small car accident just outside the park's entrance gate.... More than a few of us were running to get there in time to perform.
Coral Springs - 2012
The show was at a Senior citizen center in Coral Springs. I have to admit, I was impressed by the place, the people, and the support they had for anyone performing.
It was one of the first few times we were performing, as a group, with members of the Show team. (2 different levels = different practice days)
(Mimi, Sally, Danielle, Gracelyn Sierra, and Alyssa were still introducing themselves - amazing because I feel like we have always been together)
Bingo night - March 30, 2012 - fundraiser
When asked to come up a fundraiser (for our Daytona weekend), the Moms of our group, specifically Liana and Leighann (Holly's and Olivia3's moms) really came through!
I have to tell you... I could not have been more impressed.
Played 10 games, mixed in a little dancing and easy finger food and we had made ourselves A LOT of moo-lah.
I think we are going to do another one soon... Worth the cost. It was SO much fun.
Memorial West - spring 2010
The annual health fair at Memorial West - invited back for our second year!
This one was personal for me because I WORK at Memorial West.
And I was nervous about messing up, which I did, but my friends said they couldnt tell (uh.... Right ... Whatever)
They had this western area set up... Got the parents to take a shot!
They ALL look perfect but the winner goes to Jessica W's dad... For his impersonation of a hanged dead guy. Very intereting.
Cooper City Founders Day.... April 28, 2012 - Parade and show
This day was a morning parade.... Followed by an afternoon show.
Much easier to book us back to back. Time in between is bad for energy flow. (at least for me)
Round Up country bar... April 2012
I don't remember why we did this performance, but we are getting used to performing there.
And, hey, we finally had the shoes on together. Yeah!
Personally, I think ANY picture, with a group of minors, and BEER PONG across the top is an awesome photo!
Like I've said.... I don't know WHY we do a 'ta-da' photo everywhere... But we do and I love them.
World of clogging - Ohio (advanced team) June
Holly, Katrina, Becky, Skylar, and Bri
The advance team members went on a plane road trip to Ohio. Pictured here with the guys from ALL THAT, an all-male clogging team from America's Got Talent.
strong work.... Girls.
Daytona beach - August - clogging exhibition
August brought together 2 months of a vacation-less summer as we all took a road trip to Daytona.
These photos.... We had fun with.
Us and Elvis.... Are one. Lol
Joe DiMaggio Children's hospital - anniversary.
Pretty big event... Celebrating the one year opening go JDCH.
The DJ thought his stage could handle us...
Clogging = stomping = shaking stage = equipment falls off of stage.
(you get it.... We were sent to the pavement.... Dance #2 was NEXT to the stage)
SIGNATURE GRAND - September - Expo for Special needs children
Larger than I thought it would be, and thankfully indoors because of the heat, we were really happy to be there.
the DJ played out first number at the wrong speed.... Really s-l-o-w.
It threw us a bit but Becky kept us going.... Show show must go on.
Sammy, Bri, Olivia2, and Jessie (aka sunshine)
Temple Beth Emet - Sept. 30 - (Cooper City)
Invited back for our second year.... It's a cute fall festival for all ages
This year, the watching-crowd remembered us... Bigger numbers gathered
It was also the weekend Becky noticed our panty-hose were starting to look like homeless people. (she ordered new ones for us after this... Lol)
West Palm Beach - private party -October
Becky and a smaller group drove to Delray for this private party
Lora, Meredith, Holly, Olivia3, Becky, and Olivia2
Pines night out - Pembroke Pines - October 26
The police dept heard one of their Captain's has a clogging family... They invited us to come out.
Taste of Tamarac - October 27
Very busy weekend this one was.... Every day was another excuse to love each other.
Olivia3, Taliah (peeking), Holly, Mia, Emilia, and Stephanie (front)
How cute is the lone ballerina watching?
Take a look at Taliah's super-hit at the end of the dance.
Her Dad has his work cut out for him in 10 years, doesn't he?
Halloween party... 2012
This is the most awesome-est cake EVER!!
These are some really good costumes, too. Everyone showed up ready to party.
And, of course, we H-A-V-E to to a 'ta-da' pose. Always.
Round Up - Gloriana concert - November
Opened up for the band Gloriana at the Round Up.
It was our first cool weather... Everyone was freezing in these tank tops.

Cajun festival - Hard Rock - November
Make shift group shot...
Prestige picnic - November - CB Smith park
Almost rained out....
Had to hurry to show #2... The craft fair below
Town of Davie - Craft fair - November
This show was the debut show for the newest group of cloggers. We are seated by level, at least we attempted it.
Bri, Sammy, and Skylar....
Sometimes trying to get a nice photo of the girls is a challenge...
when you are dodging a photo-bomber.
(See what we are dealing with)
Broward county youth fair.... November.
Our performance on Sunday capped off another busy weekend; level one's did their second show ever.
Key Largo.... November
These lucky 5 drove to Key Largo for a private party
A little different uniform... Special request for army fatigues

Just last weekend.... We were in Fort Lauderdale
Well.... That's our 2012 in a nutshell.
Next weekend... We are in Orlando. Downtown Disney on December 15 at 5pm.
Of course, that'll have it's OWN long post.
Thanks for looking... It's been a great year and it's still going strong!!
