It's Decemeber Already!

Hi Everyone! Hope you're keeping warm! Although I love the sun, I must admit I am really looking forward to a lot of snow this year! I've decided to start snowboarding this year for REAL! We bought ourselves season passes and snowboard gear so we're ready to take on the mean/steep slopes of Gatineau! 

In the mean time, Luv2Groove has been keeping busy with tons of one-day workshops and week-long residencies at schools all over Ontario, including Missisauga! November was a hectic month, Luv2Groove was @ Lisgar Collegiate Institute with Chantal, John Fraser Secondary School with Marcelino Dacosta not to mention many other schools in Ottawa. 

Nov. 5-9th, I was at Queen Elizabeth PS where Luv2Groove received a grant from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. We also had the opportunity to help spread awareness for World Diabetes day by teaching locals from Ottawa a flashmob routine to the Elvis song " A little less conversation"! Check out the video link! They did a great job and there was an Elvis impersonator too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjwET3poFE0

Nov. 7th was "Take our Kid to work day" and since I have no children yet, I had the honour of having Ezra from Canterbury High School join me for the day and shadow me teach! It was a great day, he was an excellent addition to Luv2Groove! Thanks Ezra!

From Nov. 14th-23rd, Luv2Groove was in Almonte @ Naismith Public School working with the entire school! The staff and students were amazing! They even made me cards and brought me flowers on the last day so sweet! Here's a note from one of the teachers:

Last week was a special week, I got to go back to my old high school @ St. Mark High School in Manotick and teach a full week unit to all the grade 7's and 8's! They even gave Mr. Ra and I a St. Mark t. shirt! Felt like the good ol' times again!

On Wednesday Nov.28th, Luv2Groove spent the evening with the Metcalf Brownies, Girl Guides and Pathefinders doing "Gangman" style! Girls ages 7 to 13 danced their hearts out! 

Friday, Luv2Groove was all over the map. We had Ms. Livia teaching at the École secondaire publique L'Héritage in Cornwall, and I was at Mother Teresa High School and Charles H. Hulse Public School. Although it was Friday, Luv2Groove was still groovin' there way into the weekend with a morning workshop at the Ivivva pop-up shop (Lululemon store for kids) @ Bayshore shopping mall!

And after that Mr. Ra, Ms. Livia and I taught the children at the Solace Systems Christmas party!

This week, Luv2Groove will be at Elmwood Private school doing workshops in Musical Theatre, Jazz and Hip Hop! We'll also be at Avalon Public School working with the kindergartens on their upcoming Christmas performance! Until next time, live, laugh, love and groove! Only a few weeks left before the holidays!!!!

One Luv.
