YouTube: DVHS Dance Team 2008 Season

This is a customized YouTube video player that contains ALL the videoclips of the DVHS Dance Team's season-to-date. Thanks to Marvin Solorzano for all the videos...very well-done, I might add. This video player also includes some videoclips I took on my little clunker of a camcorder...I kept them just because they provide different views of the dances. Enjoy!

Pictures from Maggie and Lisa

Thanks to Maggie and Lisa for these pictures. I believe the Character one was taken at the Forte Competition in Cupertino on 1/26/08. I kinda have these dates memorized now from posting all these videoclips in chronological order (grin).

Parents, if you have pictures to share, email them to me. And also, feel free to post your comments and positive reviews here on the blog. I'm sure our dancers read them.

According to YouTube, the WORLD has viewed our dance videoclips over 7,097 times!

Winter Dance Concert – a big kick

Winter Dance Concert – a big kick: "Much of that celebration was on display in the Deer Valley High School Theater on Nov. 29 and 30, the scene of the ninth annual Winter Dance Concert. On the 29th, the theater was packed with raucous friends and family members of scores of dancers ranging in age from 5 to 90."

NOTE: Found this article on our Winter Dance Concert.
