It has been a long and beautiful summer! Especially for the DT blog. Most of us have been separated from our dancing counterparts for months now, so what better way to catch up then telling the DT world what we have been up to!
This post will be part of a series of posts the DT blog is doing on summers! SO if you have not yet messaged/emailed your fabulous summer in, please do so ASAP!
Here is what your DT friends have been up to:
Lexie Thrash
This summer, I spent many a day working at the fabulous Chic to Chic Consignment Boutique in downtown Frederick, MD. While I learned the ins and outs of being a fashionista I also learned some snazzy online skillz that I hope will be useful in my new (hopefully?!?!!) major ((SMAD)). I also lounged, beached, read lots of crazy good books, and pilates/yogad (what's the past tense of yoga?) to get back to me inner roots. The best part was when fellow dancers Kel, Tia, and Scanning Tatum stayed with me for a week to do the CKM&A Intensive in Bethesda (Jen was present as well..she's kewl too) WOOO DANCE!
Here are some of the fabulous JMU dancers at the CKM&A Intensive
Tori Powell
This summer I have been living in the Outer Banks...just me and six dogs! It was definitely an interesting experience being on my own for the first time! I worked two jobs, took an online class, and (attempted) to soak up the sun (even though I am still pale as ever)! Even though I sadly didn't get to dance very much, I took some sunrise yoga classes (and if you ever get the chance to take one, I recommend doing so)!! And I adopted a kitten who is coming to JMU!!
Here is Tori's new kitty!
Melany Schwarz
My summer has been kinda boring, but I did go to my lake house where we've been going since I was born where all one side of my family gets together for the 4th of July. So here's a picture of my family, the view from the house, and a picture of the house!

Hey DTers ! Hope all your summers went well. This summer I spent majority of my time lifeguarding as well as working at my old dance studio. For my first excursion, I road tripped off to good ole Maryland where I stayed with Lexie, Tia, Jen, and Sarah for the Christopher K Morgan summer dance intensive (which was mentally and physically rewarding). I also flew down to Bermuda (which is off the coast of NC which I was unaware of!) with my roommates from JMU. Another highlight of my summer was volunteering at Sister Pat's Kids camp in Esopus, NY for the 4th year. Here I am a counselor for kids with cancer and other blood disorders such as sickle cell and hemophilia. It's great returning each year to see the kids grow up, as well as get healthier and cured of their diseases. This camp is very close to my heart; I plan to attend for many more summers to come. Finally, my family and I spent a relaxing week in Ocean City, MD to finish out an awesome summer. (I ate my first crab here! I'm newly obsessed now) Though I had lots of fun this summer, I can not wait to return to JMU and be dancing again!
Here is Kelley in Bermuda with her frands!
Keep looking out for new posts! And be sure to send one in if you want to share your summer with friends! GET EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR! WOO
17 DAYS UNTIL JMU!
xoxo,
DT girl
