Donald and Diana Dines, from Portland, Oregon

I remember when all four of you kids were in your Mom's tummy. I was young then. I worked with your Mom for years and it seemed like she was pregnant the whole time. You were big kids in her tummy, BUT your really big now! WOW! I'm so proud of all of you! Miss you guys and would love to chat with your Mom. Please have her e-mail me (donalddines@comcast.net)! Tell her I belong to AARP now and I have to color the gray out of my hair. Love, Diana Dines P.S. Great website!!!!!!!!

Katrina, from Beaverton, Oregon

Wow! you guys are amazing! I have been dancing since I was 3 and I have loved every minute of it. I currently am going to school at the Arts & Communication Magnet Academy where I study dance. Bethany - if you performed with Jefferson Dance Team, you might remember Juliane Stites - she works at my school; ACMA and she is still dancing her heart out! I really love to dance and even more tap! I want to major in tap and be like my favorite tap dancer; Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Anyways. I just wanted to tell you all that you are amazing and you are going on my heros section on my myspace. Maybe you can even come to my school and do a class!

Cassie Pittman, from Salem, Oregon

I worked at the Clackamas county fair, and have for a long time... and I watch a few of the acts... yea theyre good but get old... BUT YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOO AWESOME! I watched at least one show of yours a day...and I was very impressed! Congrats Bethany on getting 3rd runner up! Thats almost as impressing as your skills ;) I had the crazinest corniest dream last night - I just have to tell you - everyones gotta have a laugh sometime! Well, I am an electric guitar player, and you guys were performing at a fair and it was raining, and I guess i was your guitar player for that show... Carl played the drums, Lloyd played the harmonica, Kyle played the trumpet, and Bethany played the violin, and we were all tappin while playing and it was hilarious but sooo fun! Maybe some day if you need a guitarist, hit me up ;) hahaha! Well keep up the talent! I know the Clackamas County fair was very impressed with you guys and so was everyone watching. You guys have an amazing talent - work it! :)

Annie Thompson, from Long Beach, Cali

Hey yo y'all! I am writing a speech on tap and thought I'd look up some info from yer site. Miss you! How are those kittens?

Brianna, from Estacada

I saw you guys like 2 years ago then me and my sister just saw you guys again at the canby fair and we love youre guys danceing.I just started tap dancing a year ago and I love it. I cant wait to see you dancing again.Keep dancing

Jenny, from Salem,OR

my goodness it has been a long time since I have seen you guys. I miss you alot and cant wait to start tap again. And tell beth i said good luck.

Andrea, from Hermiston, OR

I saw you guys at the Umatilla County Fair and loved your performance! I absolutely have no dance skills what so ever so I can't brag like all the rest of the people on this page...Oh well.I walked away from your concert with mixed emotions: jealousy and amazement....I wish I could dance like you guys but I would've had to have started at age 5... my best friend Crystal (who signed below me) is an amazing dancer so I will just have to watch her.....my niece Calissa is 5 and she loved you guys....WOW! I LOVE Carl's Hair...and his smile is so gorgeous...Crystal just happens to agree...OH YA! YOU ARE A HOTTIE WITH THE BODY!..LOL Thank you for bring some excitment to our little town....can't wait to see you next time....:D

Crystal, from Hermiston, OR

Hey, I saw you several times at the Umatilla County Fair and you were awesome (that's pretty much the consensus of this entire page)! You were such a big hit in Hermiston... please try to make it back next year (or sooner!). Carl, when did you begin studying ballet? I've done tap and jazz for a few years and would like to persue dance, but everyone keeps saying I'll get nowhere without a few hundred years of ballet under my belt-- and I just took my first ballet class this summer (I'm 18). Any advice you've got is greatly appreciated. Anyway, we all loved you guys here and can't wait until your next performance :) PS: This page is covered with advances and confessions of love for Lloyd and Kyle...! Well, you guys are great, but Andrea and I loooooooove Carl and his gorgeous dreads! And that smile... whoo! One mo' again!

JoAnn Tyler, from molalla

seen you all at the county fair,all of you were great. that was the first time i have ever seen somebody tap in person, and i really enjoyed it. good luck with everything in the future. God Bless

Joanie, from Seattle, Wa

I saw you perform at the Benton County Fair and just loved your show. I was there with my mom, daughter and two of my sisters. I think we made it to 8 out of your 9 shows and still could watch more! I told you after one of the shows that I was going to tell Oprah about you but my sister beat me to the punch. I'm still going to send in my suggestion that she have you on the show and a request that I get to go too. I hope to make it to the Kitsap fair this weekend. I look forward to seeing your show again and I hope you'll perform in the Seattle area sometime. Maybe the Puyallup next year?! Take it easy!! Joanie
