Festivals with Tempos!

The first weekend in December Tempos was invited to a festival in San Ramon :) This would be the first time to perform what we have been praciticing the last couple of months! 

We were all ready!!!

The first performance went really well, and probably over all expectations, here is a video of the performance in San Ramon.

Even though we were pleased with how the first performance went we had one more week to make it better for our own festival. For our own festival also the younger kids had their own performances. Here are the youngest girls.

The youngest mixed team.

And the young boys :)

In addition to the different teams of Tempos, we also had some visitors performing from San Ramon and also from the high school that I teached at the first period I was in Costa Rica. Here are the students from the International Christian School in their performance.

The performance team of Tempos would finish the festival :D

Here is the video of the performance team finishing the festival.

All of the extra coaches would get a little thanks for the help.

As this festival was the last thing I would do with Tempos I wanted to give them a little thanks too! I have had an amazing stay here in Costa Rica, and Tempos has been like a big family to me :) I wanted them to have a little something from Norway to remember me!

After the festival most of Tempos had arranged a surprise-party for me :D It was really unexpected, but really nice!!

¡Muchas gracias por dejarme ser parte de la familia fantastica Tempos!

First week at Tempos!

We had a nice first week at Tempos ;) We are coaching kids from the age of 3 years, up to grown ups in their 60's! There are some challenges, but it is just fun to do gymnastics with the Costa Ricans :)

Some of the youngest girls are a bit shy, and don't really understand us, but we are lucky to have some local coaches to help us. The youngest boys have so much energy running around not knowing what we are telling them to do, but they are also just having fun! The gymnasts that are a little bit older, and understand us are trying out new things with no problems. Hopefully we will have huge progress while we are here ;)

A couple of evenings each week we have 3 ladies who come for exercise and fun. Two of these ladies are in their 60's! And they are really impressing!! We can really push them :)

Unfortunately I haven't been able to take so many pictures during trainings yet, but I will try to take some!

Here are some from the training with the ladies ;)

Cleaning Tempos :)

After a few weeks on the road with the Danish team, Bernsholdet, doing performances and workshops, the equipment at Tempos was pretty dirty. Gymnasts and their families were gathered to do some cleaning on Sunday before we start classes.

Young and older helped out with some good cleaning ;)

Eventhough Tempos isn't that big we found solutions to clean the bigger equipment.

A group photo of everyone helping to clean :D

¡Gracias a todos!
