This year Amanda and Becca invited me to return to work with them on Bye Bye Birdie.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot of work for little pay, but so much fun.  I love to teach kids to dance.  I love working with Amanda and Becca.  I love coming to class and hearing &#8220;It&#8217;s Ms. Mason! Hi Ms. Mason!!&#8221; over and over.  The kids are so excited to see me and I try to return their energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year the kids did pretty good with dancing.
