Meet The Babes; Behind the Scenes Look at April aka. April Gets YOU Fit

Whoa...it's been an exciting start to the fall for the Boot Boogie Babes!  Let me catch you up before we dive in and get to know our favorite personal trainer, April.  

Keep in mind that the Boot Boogie Babes are a dance entertainment group!  We offer high energy and dynamic entertainment in the Puget Sound area.  We can provide innovative choreography for any live event or production. Line dance lessons and even dancers are available for live events, weddings, commercials, and soon the Boot Boogie Babes will be appearing in our first country music video!  

If you're hosting a private party, we have experience in entertaining everything from corporate parties, weddings, to festivals and even birthdays.  

We helped raise money for the local MDA chapter at their annual MDA Muscle Walk at Century Link Field in September.

We even got to dance with some Super Heros! 



Then we were asked to perform at the Alzheimer Association's Blondes Vs. Brunettes Flag Football Half Time Show on South Lake Union!  It was such a beautiful day, and we had a blast helping raise awareness for an incredible cause! 



It wasn't long after that the Boot Boogie Babes were asked to appear in our first country music video with the #1 voted local band in Western Washington, Jones & Fischer!  

We also had our Hot New Line Dance #BurninItDown to Jason Aldean go viral after country stations across America posted it on their Facebook pages in Houston, Denver, Portland, Seattle, and Pensacola!  



Tonight we are performing at a Buckley Barn Party!  It's all ages and kids are free!  There's a Corn Maze, Pumpkin Patch, Hay Rides, and lots of boot stompin' fun with the Babes!  



Tomorrow, we are participating in the Salmon Days Parade! Make sure to look for us! 



If you can believe it there is STILL more exciting news to share, but we'll save it for our next chat here!  

Let get to the really good stuff!  Meeting the Babes!  

Please allow me to introduce April...aka. April Gets YOU Fit! 



April came to us by way of Indiana.  I met her through my co-worker Chris Cruise, the night show host on 941 KMPS.  He shared with me that his girlfriend April loves to dance and that I should put her on my team.  Soooo... I scooped this beautiful lil' Indiana lady up, threw some boots on her and made sure that she was one of my Babes!  April is an incredible dancer, and I hope you get a chance to see her in action on the team!  We love having her, and we bless the day that she came into our dancin' world!  Let's find out more about April.

I started dancing at the age of three and have continued dancing throughout my adult life.   I danced competitively in jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and even danced semi-professionally for a sports league for a few years.  It is my true joy in life.  When I moved to Seattle, DeAnna invited me out for a drink since I was the new girl in town.  We got to chatting and she discovered my passion for dance and invited me out to Bourbon Jacks to meet the rest of the line dance team.  We had such a great time that night!  I was then invited to join the team, and the rest is history!  It's been such a blast!
