Shortcuts to Happiness


“There are shortcuts to happiness,
and dancing is one of them.”

- Vicki Baum

My summer has been so full of happiness! It deserves a lot of posts, but I want to start with the dancing. On Friday we had our last show for Seven Brides, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet our wonderful cast, crew and production staff! (Also, super lucky to have such a loving husband who let me run off and dance the night away all summer. Love him!) 

I was talking to a high school friend on Facebook and he asked how the show was going. I told him I loved it, to which he replied (sarcastic as ever, ha!) "Never would have guessed, by the sheer unadulterated sunshine that blasts from my monitor whenever you post about it!" I was also told fairly often that my predominant condition on stage was "happy", which pretty much sums up the production for me. Want proof? Check out the pictures!

Blury, but happy!

All the flowers on closing night...everyone was so nice!

Kidnapped!




Kissy face! I seriously want to adopt Hanna and her kissy face.
Best dance partner ever? Nic!

All the beautiful brides!
Dancing has been a part of me as long as I can remember. My preschool teacher told my parents to put me in dance classes because I had too much energy! But dancing really is a great shortcut to happiness, I'm grateful that I got the chance to share it with others this summer. 

Acting is fun, and I love to sing, but I'm a dancer first and forever.
