At approximately 2:15 on Friday afternoon a severe thunderstorm rolled through the area causing for a complete change of events for Relay for Life.
Ray Erlandson Park was the original location for the special event but tents and awnings had been ripped to shreds by the storm that passed through. Nearly 2 ½ inches of rain fell in the park in less than an hour and a ½.
There we sat, with our performers scheduled to arrive in the next hour and we don’t know if the event will be cancelled, moved indoors, storm will pass but leave a wet stage, etc.?
Finally, we get word that Relay for Life 2011 will be moved indoors to Myers Field House on campus and the start time will be delayed by a few hours. Now wondering when, if at all, will Impulse Dance perform?
Upon arriving at Myers Field House, we were told that Impulse Dance will still be performing but all events have been pushed back by an hour. Thus the calling of all the parents began and as soon as possible in hopes that some hadn’t already left home enroute to the park.

Impulse Dance opened the start of the Relay for Life event by performing 5 different dance routines. The dancers did a wonderful job entertaining the crowd and showing off dance routines that hadn’t performed since May. Wow! I can’t believe how well they all did considering it had been over a month since they practiced.
During the Kindergarten’s performance, the music was unplugged and workers raced to plug it back in. The dancer’s picked up right where they left off without missing a beat. What an amazing bunch of little ladies! =)
It was so nice to see all of the dancers perform and wear their cute costumes again! We hope to see them all back in September when regular classes resume once again.
Impulse Dance’s team “Team Red” raised money for the American Cancer Society by selling glow stick necklace and bracelets and offering face painting. We were able to meet lots of new people this way & spread the word of our recently opened dance studio. Hopefully those that showed interest in dance class will be signing up soon and we can see them again in September.
until then....Happy Dancing!!!
