I LOVE Jazzercise. My awesome friend, Sam, owns the Jazzercise Center here in Georgetown. Thinking of Paige, she passed on an email from corporate looking for Junior Jazzercise dancers (ages 8-12) to perform at the live taping in Dallas. Paige learned the required audition routine with Sam's help. We taped it and emailed it in. And then got the news a couple of weeks later that she made it! So next, Paige learned the required new routine to the song "Gotta Be Me" from the upcoming new Disney Teen Beach 2 Movie. And off to Dallas we went! We got to the Dallas Hilton Anatole (which was beautiful, amazing, overwhelming) and saw so many people and met a few from all over the country who were there to participate in this amazing event. Paige practiced with the other kids (she was one of eight!!!!) on Thursday and then again, early Saturday morning before performing in front of 1,800 'Jazzercisers'!! Below are some pics and of course, a video - the video was from the rehearsal right before the live taping/opening. I really wanted to experience the real thing and not worry about filming her so I was lucky to tape the rehearsal. She had no fear and LOVED performing in front of ALL THOSE CRAZY, ENERGETIC, AWESOME PEOPLE!!
Oh and we had fun on her "day off" (Friday) by having lunch with my college roomie and sweet friend, Katie and seeing our good friends, the Amburns, who live north of Dallas. Good times!

I think her first 'real job' may be as a Jazzercise Instructor!
