Tigerina's and Miss Northeast Counties 2011!

     Tigerina's is a fundraiser that my dance team puts on every year.  It's a three hour workshop for children in Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade.  This year our theme was 'Rockin' Through the Fifties!'

We went around the circle with our name, favorite animal, and favorite food.

     First we led the kids in some basic stretches and a fun warm-up.  Then we broke into smaller groups, determined by age.  This year I was with the first graders.  We started off by introducing ourselves and playing a game.  Little Sally Walker is ALWAYS a favorite!  By the end of the day we had played more rounds than one could imagine!! :)

The first graders perform their dance for the crowd!
The whole group finishes off the show with "We Go Together"

     Next, we taught them a short routine to a fun song that corresponded with the theme.  The first graders danced to "Tutti Fruity."  After a short lunch break, we learned a routine to "We Go Together" with all of the Tigerina's.
     That night, the Tigerina's performed the dances with us at the high school basketball game!  The individual grades did their dances and then we did the group dance.  I think the dance team members enjoy Tigerina's just as much as the children do!  And the crowd does too!




     Saturday night was also the Miss Northeast Counties pageant!  Luckily, the pageant was being held just next door, so I was able to head over right after I finished dancing.  I was so happy to make it over just in time to see everyone's talent.  I had a great time cheering and I always love catching up with pageant friends!!
