Viva Las Vegas-Trump Style

Last Thursday I woke up at 8:30 after a good night’s sleep in a room at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. I had a full kitchen and jetted tub at my disposal. There was even a tv in the bathroom. Later someone would come and clean my room while I was out visiting Hoover Dam. And that night I would eat strawberry shortcake for dinner. I also managed to spend an entire afternoon reading by the pool, on a big chaise lounge built for two. Then enjoyed a Cirque du Soleil show. Today I woke up to the sound of Kingston barking. It was still dark outside. Reality bites.

Due to a job change and busy schedules, Mr. S and I were overdue for a vacation. We finally made it happen and spent 4 days in Las Vegas over a long weekend. The weather was perfect, the Yankees won twice, and I even convinced Mr. S to spend some time at the Outlet Shops. Ahh..luxury. I need more of it but when time and money limits the amount of pampering I receive I make the most of what I can get. Even found time to win big at the slots.

So I Think I Can Dance!!

This past weekend a few of my fellow dance teachers and I attended a dance convention in Vegas, The Pulse. The convention consisted of 2 days of master classes taught by some of the SYTYCD choreographers- Mia Michaels, Tyce D’Orio, Shane Sparks – as well as Cris Judd, Dave Scott and Laurie Ann Gibson. This was quite a treat for me! I love that show and I loved this experience even more. Dance has always been such a big part of my life and I am grateful for any opportunity to continue dancing and taking what I learn back to my own classes as I teach the next generation of dancers.
