Vrndavan did another 2 week musical theater camp with the show on the last day. This one was a pirate comedy. Lakshmi did the dance art camp. Next year she'll be old enough to do the musical theater camp if she is interested.
With the keyboard player. We brought prasad flower garlands for the staff
Gaurangi Priya taught a week long 1/2 day dance camp for the young girls. Lakshmi just loved it. The final day the parents were invited to see a presentation of what they learned. They made incense holders, gopi dolls, necklaces, and ankle bells. M Sadhvi also came and did a balloon show which the children all love, especially when they each get a specially made balloon to keep.
This week was dance camp for her advanced students. I taught yoga for the first 45 minutes than stayed and learned dance each day, well kind of learned- it was really fast and I don't have much Bharat Natyam experience but it was a fun challenge and I think eventually I'll get it as I was able to pick up more than I ever imagined I would be able to. A few weeks earlier she did a dance camp for the beginner/Intermediate group which I also did yoga in the beginning and stayed for the dance. That class was slower and more my level. We actually learned a whole dance :)
So we've been having a fun summer with lots of yoga and dance. The kids also wanted to give tap a try this summer and uh-oh they like it and want to continue for the upcoming season.
So that has been our fun summer so far. It really is going by so fast, only 1 more month! Oh I forgot, while Lakshmi was in the dance camp, M Maha Mantra was brave and headed up a boy's camp at her house for the week. Vrndavan had lots of fun, they made things, played on the trampoline, offered arati and spent lots of time at the creek swimming. We have some kind of foot karma happening- last week he stepped on something and cut his foot pretty bad and today Lakshmi got her first bee sting on her toe.
