Once Upon A Time...
. . . there was a little girl that lived in the country with lots of very fast race horses. Every night, when her chores were done, she would turn up the music on the old radio in the barn and dance among the horse stalls. The horses would sway their heads to the music as her bare feet swirled in the dirt and magic dust filled the air. It was her magic world.
This little girl grew up into a mother of two tiny girls before she took formal dance lessons...becoming a professional dancer in only two years. Her daughters grew up coloring in the back of studios. I remember lying on the hard wood floor, smelling the rosin and feeling the musical vibrations against my face. My father built her a studio, just as he helped build The Ruby Shoes Studio a few years ago...and just like the first time, there were a pair of small sisters running around. I am the mother of a pair of sisters also...I seem to be an extention of my mothers life.
Almost everywhere...I have come across a little girl, eyes closed, swaying and twirling, swirling up magic dust...in her own magic world. When I say that my goal is "keeping the magic alive" this is the magic I refer to.
My desire is to give these children...with dancing hearts...the ability to physically express what they inherently have glowing inside them. To provide a safe place for expression and creation during their early social and emotional development. To show them the strength of our differences and wonder of our bodies. To give them a strong technical foundation to take on the big dance world with great confidence. To give them the stage and let them share their magic world. Not to impress, but always to bless.

Amber, I'm so glad you figured out how to link it. I just love that song, and it was fun to make. The girls are beautiful! Thanks for giving them the opportunity to dance and learn from you! They love you!
There are a lot of really cool and beautiful shots in this slide show. I really loved that dance! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Amber,
I have a friend who sends her daughter to your class and she raves about it. I was hoping to sign my daughter up too. Do you have room for another? She is 4. Do you take boys? And if so do you take two year old boys? My son would love this even if it was with all girls! I grew up dancing and still love to. My sister majored in modern dance at BYU.
Movement is so fun! I have a dance party with my kids to the ending credits of movies. They love it. Feel free to respond to my blog or my email is petersenpalace@gmail.com. Thanks! :)
oh and what is the name of the song on your slide show? I love it!
