The event, started in 2008, began as a way to teach the students to give back to the school in appreciation for all that the teachers do for them during the school year. This year they walked to raise money to replace the 2003 computers currently in the classroom. The whole school community of families, teachers, staff and students from kindergarten to high school seniors work together for a common goal. The beautiful view of along the promenade, the sunny day and community spirit made the day a success. It exemplifies the best of all that The Child School/Legacy High School stands for – a learning community coming together for education. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=thebestportraits&p=&AID=6541428 5/20/2012 2:34:32 PM More pictures coming - just wanted to have something for you to find... http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=teachmoses&p=&AID=6533919 5/19/2012 8:21:35 PM I happened upon this event while covering the Tour of California at the Ontario Convention Center on Saturday May 19, 2012. It is not to my usual Ballroom Dance Standards, but I enjoyed seeing the dancing and encouraged by how well these young kids were performing. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Tomboc&p=&AID=6533756 4/23/2012 2:26:16 AM Reuben and Rita Anniversary 4 22 12 http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Tomboc&p=&AID=6526318 2/13/2012 12:57:53 PM The Darlington Recreation Department staged its annual “Daddy/Daughter Date Night” on Feb. 9, where – after enjoying a meal and getting a keepsake portrait taken – girls ages 4 and older hit the floor and danced the night away with their favorite fellas: their dear old dads and granddads. This annual event is very well-attended, and ticket sales provide a great fundraising source for vital city recreation programs. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=NewsandPress&p=&AID=6503406 1/5/2012 11:13:27 PM Winter Ball a charity event benefiting Children's Hospital, Oakland and held at St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco.

More specific “Bellydancing”, using a style known as the American Tribal Style. Bellydance is a “Western” coined name for the Traditional Middle Eastern dance, sometimes referred to as Arabic dace in the West. Politti Ashcroft is a Certified AST Instructor & owner of the Oasis Studio. On Sunday, September 25, “Inara” a Middle Eastern Dance Performer and Instructor; held an all day dance workshop at the Oasis Studio followed by a showcase performance involving students and instructors. The studio was filled with people who you would never suspect of having an interest in Bellydance. Several men wearing cowboy hats and some ladies in western attire. On one side of the studio the wall was lined with mirrors and the floors were wood, the room looks like your typical dance studio, except for the Middle Eastern décor. There were several dancers performing for the spectators that night. Some ladies danced in tandem, while others soloed for the audience. The visual aspects of the dance were captivating and when combined with the rhythmic beats of the Eastern music played, it was like watching a field of bright colorful flowers swaying back-in-fourth in a mild wind against the blue colored wall of the studio. And just when you thought the dance was flowing in a particular direction and was going to end; the flow changes and the rhythm take you in a different direction. With each beat of the music the dance was choreographed in such a way that each body movement, shake, shimmy, and flow of the hands could almost be anticipated with the sound of the music. Who were these some of these local cancers? Hasseenah Myers, an employee with the City of San Bernardino, Parks and Recreation has partner danced with Politti the owner of the studio for over four years. Angelica Ordonez also an employee with the same City had been Bellydancing for over eight years. Inara the promoter of the workshop and lead instructor is a resident of Highland, California. The Oasis Dance Studio is located at 3673 Highland Ave., Highland, CA. They offer class sessions and private lessons! http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Tomboc&p=&AID=6449742 4/10/2011 5:09:11 AM Tati's Pre Prom Pics of Tati getting ready for the 2011 Plano East Senior prom. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=mrjaction&p=&AID=6345225 3/13/2011 11:30:38 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=bobdaveant&p=&AID=6332914 1/1/2011 9:21:30 PM Highland YMCA New Year’s Eve Ballroom Dance by Ricardo Tomboc The Highland YMCA had its third annual New Year’s Eve Ballroom Dance.
