Michael in TV Commercial

Michael Y recently attended an audition for a TV commercial and was invited to a callback the following day. This is a commercial for a bank (the auditioning dancers were not told which bank). Michael has since been advised that he has made the final cut, although he is not sure whether he will be "highly featured or someone in the background". Either way, Michael is quite sure that he will be doing a bit of dancing in the commercial. Filming was to begin this past weekend.

Congratulations Michael! Please keep us updated as to when we can see you on TV!

Richmond Oval Show: August 25

Thanks for your patience in waiting for photos from the past several shows. I will be trying to upload as many as possible over the next few days.

There have been many photos submitted from the weekend of August 21-22; Lonsdale Quay and Steveston docks. Above are 3 of Cheryl's photos from the Eire Born show at the Richmond Oval on August 25. And yesterday I attended the final day of Steveston dock shows and took more than 500 photos (I will only be posting a fraction of those!)

Thank you to the dancers in the above photos who performed at the Bantam Girls National Softball Championships at the Richmond Olympic Oval:

Back Row: Mikaela, Mackenzie, Shannon, Maria, Maya

Front Row: Camryn, Anna, Jadyn, Jayne, Gemma and Oliva

August 21-22 Photo Update

Many parents have sent me photos from both the Lonsdale and Steveston Dock shows last weekend; all together there are several dozen photos. My apologies that I have not had a chance to upload and edit all those photos this week. It will likely be early next week before I can get to them.

As always, many thanks to all the dancers, parents, and sound crews for making these fantastic shows happen! To the parents who took time to submit photos over the past few days; thank you! I appreciate your patience.
