about

I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

List of Last Week’s Labors of Love

May 28, 2012

– funnest trip to the doctor EVER. They were stickers, water fountains, and HAND BALLOONS! I must say that the staff at the St. Joseph's Hospital Outpatient Lab went over and above the call of duty.

The Zoo had to get some blood drawn, and after a couple attempts (yes, with needles- Zoo was a champ), theyasked me to come back when they had a baby specialist in. When we came back, the guy we had the first day chatted up the older girls, got them stickers, and blew up gloves (HILARIOUS! FUN FOR HOURS! HOURS!), plus they gave me a $10 gas card "for my trouble". What?
