Alyson's Duet

I want to share some of the photos of Alyson's duet with you. They were taken at the MOVE dance competition at the Tacoma Convention Center on March 23, 2012.

Alyson is my granddaughter. She is nine years old. She has been dancing since she was three years old.

Her partner, Jake, is also nine years old. At the MOVE competition, they danced to a song called "Howling for You" by the Black Keys.

The MOVE competition was the first time that Alyson and Jake have ever performed together at a dance competition.

Alyson, Jake and my youngest daughter, Korinna, belong to a tap dancing team called "Tap Time." Tap Time performed to the old Blues Brothers' song, "Soul Man," at the competition.

Tap Time also appeared as the X Men in Center Stage Dance Academy's production of "Super Heroes." Nikki German is the owner and artistic director of the dance academy.

Alyson and Jake won first place for their duet performance at the MOVE competition. Congratulations to both of them!
