| Nationals 2006 | ||
|
Getting prepared for the
national competition was a venture. First, the group decided to make
the commitment which involved things like lots of lessons & lots of
practice, extra contests, conditioning, fitness of both the mind and the
body (they are athletes). Here's some of what happened before their
big event. Ballet Lessons |

 |
 |
| Extra Contests | ||
 |
