A fun night.

My friend Bethany Dimick teaches music, dance and acting to kids and teenagers at her parents studio Hollywood Kids. Last night was her teenage group, Ovation's, show which was a tribute to Hollywood Movies. They did a wide selection of musical numbers and acted out scenes from movies. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went last night, I knew she taught classes to kids of all ages, and I knew she was talented, but I was not not ready for what I experienced. These kids were ages 14-17 (high school) and had more talent in their pinkie finger than I would know what to do with at that age. My favorite group number was a scene from Chicago, with the song "They both reached for the gun" (not sure if that's the correct title). It was all acted out so well, I felt like I was actually watching a Broadway show. I laughed, cried, and got goosebumps many times throughout the whole show. I was so proud of her by the end of the show I was speechless. She asked me how I liked it and I felt so overwhelmed with awe I just started to cry. I have never accomplished anything like that in my life. It really gave me a new perspective of what people are capable of even at our age. I guess I just assumed that things like that came along at a different time in our lives, like in our twenties we aren't ready or able to accomplish our dreams. I know she will do some really amazing things in her lifetime, and I truly hope I get to experience them with her.
