十一月照片6 Promenade Dance 舞会3!










More photos from the showcase! It seems doesn't end. 1st 5 photos are great Latin Standard dances performed by Mandy and Joe. I think it's most likely be rumba, samba, then paso doble from the photos. Then it's Mandy's mother Bunny(whom I called Mrs. Barth) it's dancing with Joe again(6, #9). From these dances, I think Joe really did an excellent job kept the ladies moving; man he was sweating and breathing so hard after half of the show! Great efforts for him! #7 it's Mandy again was supported by Joe for the dance, I couldn't remember which dance that was but it's sure looking entertaining. #8 it's Joe& Tricia(yeah!) dancing with Jim and his wife. Seems very peaceful when they are doing waltz and foxtrot. Finally, it's another photo from Joe& Juliana's western story adventure. So funny to see Joe riding the scooter! I guess in this one who held his straw hat to bow before the lady? Who knows, it's entertainment!

十一月照片5 Promenade Dance 舞会!


爱跳舞! I love dancing! So here are more photos from the Fall/Winter Showcase on November 14-15. 1st 2 are Mandy and Joe doing Latin Standard division dances(Cha cha, samba, rumba, paso doble, and jive). Then it's Leo and Elenor doing a waltz. #4 it's Joe and Juliana pretending to be western cowboy/girl. very amusant to see Joe riding the scooter as motorcycle. haha. Next 2 are Lynne and Gary, the theatre show dance couple who did a great aesthetic lyrical lifting and choreography. Very interesting to observe. 

Then on the right it's Leo and Elenor again. I really like Elenor's lyrical, flying dress, very beautiful and often seen on America's Ballroom Challenge. Ladies who danced in standard smooth division consist of waltz, tango, foxtrot and quickstep are more likely to wear that. 
#8 that's Joe and Kathy dancing. Next it's the children again! Katusha and Spencer doing cha cha. Finally it's Leo and the Japanese lady who I forgot the name.

十一月照片4 Promenade Dance 舞会!










Hey, guys, ladies! Happy Thanksgiving Turkey Day!! Here I have more of November 13-15 photos! Half of it came from our Promenade Dance Studio! Yeah! That was an awesome night watching the showcase! Great job dancers! Unfortunately, the photos are NOT in good quality because performers moving thus it's hard to focus on the camera and take good clear-quality photos. Nevertheless, I manage to take these photos! 1st one it's the owner and 1& only Joe Way disguised as Matrix secret agent dancing with the Japenese lady(I forgot her name). Then it's Joe's daughter, Katusha dancing with Spencer, Tricia's son. It's so cute watching the children dancing. Next it's Leo, Tricia's ex wife, preparing a dance. Then it's Joe again, dressed in red coat dancing with the Spanish lady. #5 it's Tricia talking with Joe regarding to where everyone should sit and how it's the performance it's going to be performed. 

After the 1st 5, it's me again. I was dressed pretty simply enough, a tie and a suit. I regret for NOT taking a copious amount of photo in which I'm in...should have taken photos with Mrs. Barth, Mandy, Anne, Joe, Tricia, etc again.  Hmmm..should definitely do that next time when I'm around for the showcase. 

Other photos are from my house and the dance practice room in my school.(November 13, 14). I think I took good photos for that.

十一月照片3 东北餐馆 My homeland food


More photos from November. 1st it's me dancing! Finally found a dance practice room in the International Student's building that's NOT locked! I'm surrounded by mirrors and feel spacious for the room. Great place to practice dance. Then it's me listening to ipod; next 3 are @ the restaurant of my homeland Shenyang food! It's so delicious for me that whenever I see it again, it just makes me hungry! At school, I can NEVER eat something that's even near to what I had! As you can see, they're lamb skewers like the ones that I ate in Shenyang, China(see Oct. & Sep. archives for more details). 

Then there's sea cucumber with beef tendon; it's very taste too. I rarely even ate any sea cucumber so it's a blessing for me to eat something that's tangy and delicious.

The chicken mushroom with clear noodle stew it's also a good dish; it tasted similar to my grandaunt's chicken stew but there's way more noodle & mushrooms than chicken. I did enjoy the noodles however so it's not a waste at all.










十一月照片2










Here I have 10 photos from November 5-11. Most of them I took it at school with the usual style(auto self-timer). Then the one with me wearing the formal dress it's after the dance party on November 7. I was so happy that day to rendezvous with Promenade Dance Studio again; though I was late that day coming home due to train delay and stupid rejection of the vanpool driver!(Worst service ever!). Remind myself to take the train if wants to get home. 

Other photos such as me wearing black leather gloves are unique because I love to wear 'em for protection of cold and the style of it. Makes me look like a secret agent. The one with me leaping it's just another crazy stunt I've done. So funny and hard to get the timing right for the camera though.
