Boot Camp

Hey everyone :) Shannon here....
last week saturaday Catherine and i embarked on the 13 hour trip to sydney. we caught the three fourty five bus to Dubbo on Country Link Intercity travel and then the connecting train to Central Sydney. It was tiring and a bit strange. We made friend that got on at Cobar, they also sat with us in the connecting train.

We then took a slow walk to the nearby YHA, its the railway square one, and got an awesome room! its a railway cabin on tracks!!! this Youth Hostel is pretty epic and they have awesome toasties:)

Anyway on sunday we got to AIPA for the introductory session. I am in Cast one which is made up of 24 people 21 girls and 3 boys. We are the younger group and are more of the disney kind, our profiles are being sent to Nikelodeon and Disney...SO EXCITING!! anyway, we're made up of AMAZING dancers that sing epicly!! and alll the boys are singers, as am I and two other girls.....maybe thats why i am in so much physical agony.

Cat is in cast two...no idea who thats aimed at but its more 16 year olds, she is the youngest in her cast. And still an amazing dancer:)

And now the moment you have all been waiting for..........BOOT CAMP. Is it as bad as they say????


Well.. i couldn't walk for two days without groaning if that counts??? We have an INTENSE warm up containing around 50 sit ups 25 push ups and so much more...
I'll tell you the rest later guys...Cat wants to make use of the available time we have left in this metal city containing so much air pollution...i miss stars:(

So shopping:) with Cath :(

The Legend - John Wren

Broken Hill is a great City because some of the living legends who live here. John Wren, of Silver City Cinema, has put his hand up to help the girls out, as he always does and is hosting Step Up 3 in 3D on Saturday 18 August 2010 as a fundraiser for the girls. The film's casting director, Richard Mento, was on girl's audition panel. SYNERGY at its best! Tickets are $10 from cinema.

Catherine and Shannon are very aware of how important their sponsors are and would like to thank:

 Max Potential draws on leaders within the community, business, industry and schools to work as one-on-one coaches with Youth. “Coaching is one of the most effective forms of leadership development, one that meets all of the needs of youth as learners…”

Max Potential has announced that Catherine is the first Australian Ambassador for the program and have provided financial assistance for her to travel to the USA to help her reach her potential to dance with the Australian Dance Theatre.

Willyama High School has a tradition of academic achievement, a diverse cirriculum and success in the areas of sport, creative arts and in fostering community partnerships and catering for a variety of student needs and abilities.  

It was Tracey Hicks who sent the life changing email to the girls. The inspirational teacher, who has travelled with the girls to Sydney for the NSW School Spectacular, has not only given them this great opportunity but is now co-ordinating a lot of the fundraising locally.
