Summer Stories Part 2

Here's another peek into what Ballet Emmanuel dancers are doing this summer.  Stay tuned to hear from our newest company dancer, Mia, next!

Dancer #2: Laci Landry

Travel Plans? I was very excited to be able to travel back to Michigan for a couple of weeks to spend time with family and friends. We spent lots of time in my brothers new pool :-) and my niece McKenna is quite the water bug. Nathan was also able to come out for a couple of days and we were able to go to Cedar Point (the best rollercoaster park ever) with my cousin who just got back from Afghanistan. Nathan and I are also visiting New York City at the end of July. He has never been and since I lived there for 2 years, I can hardly wait to take him. I am also going on my families annual "girls trip" to Hilton Head Island in August.

Summer Job? Thanks to Nathan's job, I am fortunate enough to not need to get a summer job. Plus, if I had one, I would not have very much time left to visit my family.

How did you spend your 4th of July? Nathan and I were in Michigan over the 4th of July and we celebrated with my family. We spent the day barbecuing, swimming, and bonding with my niece.

Chinese lanterns!

Favorite Summer Activity? Hmmm, well it use to be swimming until I moved to Colorado where there is no water ;-) Now I love chilling on my back porch with Nathan and the dogs doing simple things like reading, making smores, and playing games (we love Jenga).

Summer Highlight? Well currently it was our trip to Cedar Point. When I was younger, my family use to go every year and I LOVE roller coasters. However, I have a feeling that our New York Trip will take the prize as this summer's highlight.

What are you most excited about regarding BE's upcoming season? Well I am very excited about Mia joining of coarse! And I am always excited about our new choreography and concert. But this year I think I am most excited to see how the company grows and matures. Looking back, it is amazing to me what God has done through Ballet Emmanuel in the 4 short years I have been here, and I can hardly wait to see what God has in store for us this year.
