Ballroom Dance Group

Sisters,
We are starting the next session of ballroom dance next week.  Our first class with be next Thursday Oct. 3rd at 7pm at the church.  If the gym is being used, we will go in the primary or RS room. You need to come to the first or second class to be in the session so you don't get too far behind. You also need to bring a partner and it doesn't have to be your husband.  We will be learning the triple swing and the foxtrot. Our first session was so fun (we learned cha cha and waltz) we would love for more people to join. I can't wait for more dancing!!!!
Call or text me with any questions!
Thanks,
Melanie Graff

Liliana Stone

Where were you born and raised-
Liliana moved around a lot as a child. She was born in San Diego, California where she lived until she was 9. Her family then moved to San Francisco but returned back to San Diego after about a year and a half. When she was 11 her family moved to Duck Creek Village where she instantly fell in love with Utah and small town life. After that they went Alton, Utah then onto Cedar City where her family lived in army tents while her father built a home. The house just didn't get built because of bad weather, so they moved into apartments in town until they moved once again. This time to Orderville, Utah where she graduated from high school. After high school, she worked at Zion Ponderosa and as an EMT-I on the ambulance to save money to go on a mission. She went to Scotland and love her many experiences there.

Schooling and career- Liliana went to Dixie State College when she got back from her mission. She got her CNA but didn't really like the medical field, so she decided to go back to school and got her certification to be a private teacher at Montessori. She worked at Dayspring Montessori until she got married.

How you met your husband-
Liliana and Gary met at their singles ward in St. George. They hung out as best friends for a couple of years before they started dating. Gary was really smart and a great planner of activities. He pursued her first but had kind of given up; however, when she left to California for a couple of months, she realized how much she missed him, how great he really was, and that she had actually fallen in love with him. She came back determined that he would never be out of her life again! They have now been married for 6 years.

Kids (names and ages)- Axel 5, Samara 4, Roman 2, Blaze 10 months

Hobbie and favorites- She loves dancing hula. It's a big part of her culture. She also adores traveling although it doesn't happen as much with kids. She enjoys cooking healthy food and creating new recipes.

Something unique about you-
The most unique thing about her is that she has two sides to her personality. She loves to get dirty outdoors in the dirt as well as get dressed up and being really girly. She can go out and change the oil on ATV's and cut trails with a chain saw through thick brush then get prettied up and go to a fancy dinner.
