Dance faculty from Interlochen Center for the Arts will hold dance auditions in 14 North American locations throughout January and February 2010.

The auditions will include ballet, pointe and modern technique. Participating students will be considered for admission to either of Interlochen's world-renowned educational programs: Interlochen Arts Camp and Interlochen Arts Academy.

Interested students and their families are invited to attend these open calls. Interlochen dance faculty will be available to answer questions as well. No pre-registration is necessary. Required audition dress for girls is black leotards and pink tights. Boys should wear white T-shirts and black tights.

The winter audition tour will kick-off January 9 in Boston and continues through February 21, 2010 in New York City. For a complete tour schedule including dates, locations and audition times and fees please visit www.interlochen.org/dance2010/?WT.mc_id=DanceAud_PRweb_Dec09

The dance program at Interlochen Center for the Arts offers students the opportunity to develop and grow in a positive and focused environment. At Interlochen Arts Camp, students in grades 6-12 choose a program that emphasizes either ballet or modern dance. Each three-week session culminates in a public performance.

Interlochen Arts Academy, a fine arts boarding high school (www.academy.interlochen.org), engages students artistically and academically. A ballet-based curriculum with additional emphasis in modern and jazz techniques encourages dancers to be versatile performers. Students and faculty stage three fully-produced dance concerts each year. College-prep academics foster cross-disciplinary thinking to prepare students for any professional endeavor.

Interlochen Arts Camp and Interlochen Arts Academy are part of the nonprofit Interlochen Center for the Arts, recipient of the National Medal of Arts and the only organization in the world that brings together: a 2,500-student summer camp (www.camp.interlochen.org) program; a 500-student fine arts boarding high school; opportunities for hundreds of adults to engage in fulfilling artistic and creative programs; two 24-hour listener-supported public radio stations (classical music and news); more than 600 arts presentations annually by students, faculty and world-renowned guest artists; a global alumni base spans eight decades. For information, visit Interlochen online at www.interlochen.org.

I know, I know. I have not posted any photos of my crafts in a long time! Well, I have been a bit busy over this last Summer and Fall, but the Winter is shaping up to be a good crafting season, so there will be more to browse...I promise!

If you want to easily view my past crafts, check out this link to view my Flickr photo sharing pages (or click on the link to the top right-hand side of my blog). They're all neatly organized in an easy-to-view format.

Have fun...and check back here around Christmas time for some knitting, sewing and such project photos!

Love you always, Cory!

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!
