Flowers for Coach Michele



Today was my Just For Kix Spring Show day, and I made it through. I held two shows this year because my program has gotten too big for one. It's a good thing that my program continues to grow, but holding two shows makes for double the work, double the expenses, and double the people needed. Thankfully, splitting into two shows also made each one more manageable in length and number of kids.


Every year I recognize dancers for years with Just For Kix. There are always a few who receive a five-year recognition. Last year I recognized my first ten-year dancer, and this year I recognized my second ten-year dancer, who also happens to be my niece, Kassy. That was a cool moment for me. I also recognized my first two graduating seniors. Hard to believe I've been doing this for 12 years and still going strong.

12 years! Wow! It must be so challenging/rewarding. Nice job!

We've only been with you for three of those years, but we're planning to stick around for at least a few more years. Coach Michele ROCKS!

*blush* Thanks, Moni.

And yes, the job is both challenging and rewarding. One of my favorite parts of the job is watching the kids move up through the classes and progress over the years.

Another of my favorite things about the job: summers off!
