Today's Generation Las Vegas Access Broadway!

First week of July, Kendra's competitive dance team, Today's Generation, went to Las Vegas for Access Broadway competition. It was very hot, over 110 degrees everyday that we were there, but the girls and families had alot of fun and great memories. This was bitter sweet for Kendra and for us since we knew that this was her last year in dance. She and Taylor have both been dancing with Today's Generation since the company was first started, eight years ago. Taylor is not in the Jazz club who competes, but she loves to dance, as some of the next pictures will demostrate, and the girls and teachers have all been great and let her dance away. This dance group has great girls and dancers in it who always do very well everywhere they go. They are very fun and amazing to watch. Their hard work pays off every year as evident in their routines and it has been a great ride! Thanks for all the memories that Stephanie, Kendra and Taylor, along with their family, have all enjoyed throughout these eight years in dance with Today's Generation! We wish everyone the best of luck and we will be there watching and cheering you on!

Taylor up on stage with her sis!
Proud mom with her dancer! The name on Kendra's shirt goes along with a dance her group did. Everyone had a name of someone on their shirt that had been abducted, killed or abused or both. It was called, Prayer of the Children, and each girl learned about the story behind each name they were given. Usually there was not a dry eye after the performance, including the girls doing the dancing. Great job ladies! Very touching! It impressed everyone, as well as the judges.
Sisters!
Taylor would go up on stage for every break and just dance away. You certainly wouldn't call her shy!
Waiting for awards, all of the dance girls would go on stage. Taylor was either on stage dancing with the girls or down on the floor. She danced so hard, she worked up quite the sweat! If I could have that much energy!
Her sisters have got to stop teaching her some of those moves!! I even think she was doing the worm on the floor right after this..................
Thanks girls for always letting Taylor hang out and dance with you! She loved every minute of it!
Taylor was even given a shirt and a medal by one of the guys running the competiton after they saw her dancing up on stage. He watched where she went and sat down and came over to us to give it to her. She was soooooo excited to have "won an award!"

Posing for pictures after many of their awards! Great job girls, as always!
