Show week is a fun, exciting, exhausting, stressful and wonderful time of the year that we get to experience more than once!! This time around the Nolte Academy is putting on a musical production of Snow White and it couldn't be any cuter! While rehearsals have been going on for months, these last two weeks have been for finishing touches. I was able to help out with making costumes for the animals in the forest, decorating sets and painting various sets and props. Being a "dance teacher" is one of the things that has prepared me most in competing in pageants. I put dance teacher in quotes because all dance teachers know we are much more than that. I don't just teach dance, I sew costumes, glue on rhinestones, build props, create sets, encourage young dancers to audition for our productions, am a listening ear, a role model and the list goes on. Being a dance teacher requires me to think of out the box and on my toes in and out of the studio, it also allows me to interact with people of all ages. I've learned how to work on a team and rely on others which has helped me quickly adapt to working with the fabulous Muscatine board!
A side from this week being show week, I was able to get in a workout with Jon at 8 one 8 fitness where he kicked my butt and made me realize I can do so much more than I thought I could. We work really well together and I can't wait to see all the personal goals I beat on the way to the Miss Iowa stage! I was also able to catch up with Michelle and Jessica from Legacy Group Pageant Consulting. We had a wonderful conversation where we recapped the Miss Muscatine competition, talked about my goals for Miss Iowa and all the things I am working on and doing with my platform. I have dived head first into my platform and I have many things in the works that I can't wait to tell you about! The first exciting thing is that I was invited to join the Iowa City committee for the March of Dimes: March for Babies walk, we had a wonderful meeting and things are well on their way! I was then able to stay and chat with Andrea who is the Community director of the Hawkeye division of March of Dimes where we came up with all the wonderful ideas that are to come! I look forward to being more involved in the March of Dimes and hopefully making a difference! The Iowa City walk is April 12th in Lower City Park and if you want to join me on this walk I would love for you to join my team! If you are unable to join me on the walk you can also donate to my personal page!
