The Most Fabulous Weekend EVER!

This weekend was my most fabulous Paradosi dance performance that i told everyone about like 3 months ago....I thank those of you who came very much. U Rock!

so here's how it went. Last week i was in greek dance mode since sunday. we had practice on sunday, tuesday, thursday and of course friday. thursday and friday were basically sound and lighting checks and on saturday morning we had to be at Crystal Fountain in the morning to help set up the centre pieces. It was nuts.

The group from Greece who came to perform with us were all in their 30's and were pretty cool (although it sucked cuz i dont' speak greek!) but they were awesome regardless. The really liked all of us too and thought that we danced great, which we do!

On thursday night, we went to Megas restaurant on the Danforth, and since Fotiadis (the group from greece) has their own intruments, they broke out into song, and we broke out into dance! (of course!) What is really specktacular though is the next night when after practice we all went to shoeless joe's at 401 and markham, and we broke out into song and dance there too! im sure we scared all those scarberians! Whatever, we gave them a show!

The show on friday went really well and we are going to have a dvd of it too. People were in awe of how amazing it was actually, and some were left in tears! There were about 400 ppl in the theatre. Saturday night was amazing as well because there were about 600 ppl watching and there was such hype from the night before. It was awesome cuz we got to dance and eat after and hang out with our friends and family.

Also, shaun's parents met my family for the first time and totally hit it off! My mom invited them over for dinner with the whole family too, which is amazing. Another exciting part of the night was when I actually got shaun to join the line and start dancing...it took a bit, but he finally got it! i was sooo proud! the music was pretty fast too....but he had an awesome time doing it. We danced the rest of the night away!

What a week!
