Five weeks away from the Spirit Auditions, we filmed Cari at Linda’s Studio for her private.

…and the lucky numbers are – click the slideshow

After first receiving a “we regret to inform you that your score did not qualify you to continue with the 2010 Junior Spirit Audition process,” Jesalyn and family got a surprise call from the Old Spanish Days office saying “sorry, we sent the wrong letter.” It’s now late in the season and she has about 2 months to prepare her dance and design a new costume. Only 9 years old, her first time trying out; a ‘love bug’ as Linda calls her.

We spent a full day at the Studio catching up with Linda and some of her 2010 Spirit Participants. She started working on the choreography for Olivia’s Alegria. Then she worked with Natalia choosing music, followed by Amanda who came in to practice her footwork. Anais and her mom were next and Linda worked on Maria’s initial choreography. Linda then finished the evening with Cari’s music and dance.
