This weekend, I went to my little eight year old niece Ava's Dance competition in Madison, Wisconsin. Ava dances for Starz Dance Academy and performs in competitions on a regular occasion and LOVES dancing for us and showing off her moves any chance she gets!
ANYWAYS, what I thought was going to be a weekend of little ballerina's prancing around in tight's and tutu's turned into a total fashion explosion and a great show to say the least! My beautiful niece won first in every event including jazz, hip hop, and poms and she even got to take home an amazing trophy that was almost to big for her to carry!
Isn't she just adorable! Light of my life! Here's a vid for you guys to check out to!
Ava did such a great job and is so talented! I couldn't be a more proud aunt!
So, I thought it would be fun this week to explore the world of DANCE. I put together a few looks that really show some timeless moves and incorporate GREAT fashion at the same time! Take a look!
THE JIVE
The Jive was one of the big dances of the 1950's. It was depicted in movies like Grease, which brought back the old school swing and made it a legend.

THE TWIST

Come on baby, and do the twist! You know the lyrics, and you know how to swing! The twist was one of the biggest dance moves in the 60's following the iconic song by Chubby Checker, shown above!

Abba made being a "dancing queen" a household name, and also helped the 70's to dance to a new beat! The disco allowed the 70's to be fun and loose with fashion, as shown below!
