YSA Dances

I wish so much that I had taken more pictures! Because I was the YSA rep for the Turlock Stake, I was heavily involved in planning dances. Every three months, I was in charge. I ended up utilizing a lot of my resources and know how as an elementary school teacher, and we just had an absolute blast.

One of my favorite dances was the Kindergarten Dance. We had the basics—a DJ (Sam did a great job DJing for us sometimes) and refreshments, and then all kinds of supplemental fun. I don’t remember if we themed the refreshments too, but the activities were awesome. All around the outside of the dance floor there were tables with kindergarten type entertainment. I remember that we had a corner with some hula hoops, and maybe jump ropes, and we had a station where people could come make froot loop necklaces. Those are the only ones I can remember, but we usually had at least four activity stations people could use when they needed a break from dancing. Although the dancing was amazingly fun, too!

Here are some pictures from a Valentine’s Day dance, but I don’t think this is one I planned.

Here are some pictures we took before a Halloween dance, and Cheri’s house. No pictures from the dance, though! Look at all that awesome overall action going on.

We also had Super Activites a couple of times a year. I was in charge of planning one in May, which was a Fiesta (Cinco de Mayo and all). Where are all my great pictures of that?? Dang it!

These pictures are from a luau Super Activity that we had outside. I also didn’t plan this one. (Maybe I was too busy working during the ones I planned to take any pictures—although I really don’t remember the work, I just remember the huge amounts of fun).
