Le Petite School of Dance

I started ballet when I was 3 and took classes until I was 13. I know you must be thinking that, I rock it on the dance floor? This low-budge dance operation was pretty much all in the name of fun and dance recitals. My dance teacher nicknamed me "Grace" for a lack there of! Of all the nerve.

Sure we went through the checklist of 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions, shinee turns and arabesques. Then we got down to business and just practiced for the showy recitals. I remember my mom sewing sequins on bathing suits and taffeta on too. My dad also got involved, screen printing bags and tshirts for the, uhm, "dance company." The design is too cute and I decided to redraw it and screen print it on tshirts and hoodies.

I've been working on other screen print designs too. Its addictive, fun and rewarding. It's like Christmas morning when you pull the screen off and there you have a crisp, nice print! So satisfying! I turn on music and groove and print away---that old nickname hasn't slowed me down a bit! Just ask to see my "plee-ay" (no idea how to really spell that, remember, low budge), it kicks booty bong.
