ACDA Hoe Down - 2008
The Hoe Down was a great event as usual and absolutely awesome way to start the competitive dance year off. Because it falls so early in the dance season many new dancers were out on the floor for the first time. I had three Newcomer's dance for the first time at this event, as well as, the usual suspect's (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced girls)

As Carolyn says, "Team Appel, did well"
