Catch A Glimpse of Suko's Daughter and the World Renown Elite Dancentre's Jazz Petites

I mentioned on Sunday's show about my daughter, Jade, and her dance competition team performing for the troops as part of The Trees for Troops extravaganza which has become an annual program. Our friend Gigi's family owns a local nursery in Oceanside, New York called Dee's who for the past four years has been shipping 1,000 Christmas trees to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in partnership with DHL which ships the trees at no charge. The program included Miss Colleen's Elite Dancentre's Jazz Petite Competition Team, including Jade doing a solo at the beginning to "All I Want For Christmas" choreographed by Miss Colleen. The girls also did a spirited number choreographed by Miss Lauren to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". The show included four USO singers and several local school children reading letters they had written to the troops. They performed at Dee's and then accompanied the trees and care packages to the DHL hangar at Kennedy Airport with police escort where they performed again. Thanks to Dee's and DHL who treated us to both breakfast and lunch.

The above was covered by several local news stations including Fox 5 News. Here is the link to a clip:http://www.myfoxny.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=8BAB88EF78F1040D2137F3BB19E3D560?contentId=5108273&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1.
