Nolte Awards

Hi Nolte Dancers!!!!

Congratulations on a great weekend and thanks for having us along! There were so many happy moments and beautiful moments. We want to give a big 'YEAH' to the choreographers and their choreographer awards.

Leslie took the choreographer awards on day one for 'I'm Yours' danced by Miranda Decker and 'First Day of My Life' danced by Kathryn Smith. There were too many great things happening to list them all. We'll be seeing all the Nolte dancers in Davenport next weekend!

Babies and Bunnies

We are sooooo excited to bring live bunnies to Ovation! Thank you to Jenny and Kate Gillam for coming to the studio to model our new session. Kate did a fantastic job and showed us all her sweetheart expressions. Thanks for taking the time to bring her to the studio Jenny. We are limiting this session to three days, so call asap and book your time. This is so reasonable you can't afford to not do it.

The bunnies are donated from Pet Central Station in Iowa City. The owner is amazing and actually potty trains all her bunnies to a litter box. If you are interested in getting a rabbit, this lady is the one to go to. This particular grey rabbit was so well behaved and very kind to Kate.

We will see you all in March!

We're Baaaack!

We just got back from the Prof. Photographers of Iowa winter Convention in Des Moines. What a blast. Mindy and I both participated in a state wide print competition, helping behind the scenes and also having our prints judged. How did we do? Awesome....... Mindy won first place in the Outdoor Groups Catagory with "A Private Affair" and first place in the Indoor Woman category for "Graceful Lines". She was also recognized as one of the Top Ten Photographers in Iowa. As for me, I won first place in the Outdoor Child category with "Bashful Beauty" and first place in the Outdoor Woman category with "Covergirl". I also won first place in the Digital Competition and received a Kodak Gallery Award for that same print. We also won third place for a multi-maker album. We were on fire! As for some other highlights from our trip, We participated in a lip-sync contest where Mindy and I dressed as male rappers. Mindy was really convincing. All-in-all the weekend was so much fun and we can't wait for our regioanl competition called Heart of America in Council Bluffs, IA.

This weekend we will be attending Bravo! dance competition in Ames. Good luck to all of the Nolte Dancers, we will be rooting for you. See you there!
