Colorado Star Ball Dress Rehersal

Tonight Ellie's dance studio held a dress rehearsal for the Colorado Star Ball that is coming up in two weeks. It was pretty cool.

Most of the dancers showed up dressed to the nines and strutted their stuff. The teens were up first so I stuck around and took a few photos.

The first formation dance was a variation on the Rumba done to "Sing" by the musical cast of Glee.


The second dance is a variation on the Foxtrot done to "I'm into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits. It looks like that it is a lot of fun. Ellie gets to dance with Jake and Sam. This dance a story of sorts. It is about a group of boys who move into the neighborhood.

At first all of the girls think they boys are cute and fight over them. Then the boys dance with all of the girls.

In the end the boys go around to try and get a girlfriend but the girls refuse since they've tried out everyone. It is really kind of funny.

The little kids and the adults also did their dances. The little ones were very cute, of course.

After the dancing was over it was time for dinner and games. People were at tables. One was the Rumba table, another was Swing and and one more. They played Jeopardy style game with three categories: Your teachers, dancing and the Colorado Star Ball. Each table had a cow bell. The question was asked and you had five seconds to answer it after you rang your bell. They had to answer a question. Sometimes you could take a challenge. One challenge involved sitting back so that your face is flat. A cookie is placed on the person's forehead and they had to use facial muscles to move it to their mouth and eat it. Another challenge involved two rolls of toilet paper, one for each hand. The goal was to unwind them in 60 seconds or less. The last challenge involved trying to stack three golf balls and keeping them stacked 3 seconds. (These are all from "Minute to Win It." They also ate dinner, chatted and listened to the funny speech that Marodi gave about the dancers.
