The Dancing Queen

This beautiful little girl is my grand daughter Tashena. She loves to dance and she studies at the Virginia Tanner Dance group at the U of U. Recently she entered a contest at her school called Reflections. The students are asked to interpret  their skills, such as art, dance writing etc. Tashena of course entered in dance. She took some music that she liked and explained why she likes it and then choreographed a dance to it. She won her age division and now advances to State Competition. Her family is very proud of her.

Tashena

This is Tashena Marie Ashby. My Daughter Kristine adopted this most beautiful little girl when she was 5 years old. She is now 12 going on 21. She is very bright and a truly great dancer. I believe that she will excel at any sport that she wants to. I am excited about the possibilities for her in volleyball, she is a natural. Her and I struggled at first until she got to know my nature. I love to tease. She is at the point now where she gives it right back to me. She dances with the Tanner Dance at the University of Utah. I recently went to Grandparent's day where you observed a 1 1/2 hour class. There are about 26 young ladies in her class. They are all beautiful and talented. I am of course prejudiced but I think she excels.
