Madison Barnes posted this on her Instagram last Sunday - it looks like the Delta departure lounge at JFK prior to flying out to Sao Paolo at 10.40 p.m.

I wonder if other passengers were awakened by this?? Nice to see them having fun - even when there isn't much else to do!

This was really good. The caption under the video notes that she has been away from competition for almost 4 years. (We all know where she's been for that time.) Her long absence from serious competition makes this especially impressive. Well done Maddie!

This is a nice article about former Ballet Girl Jhailyn Farcon, and her participation in the National Tree Lighting Ceremony, dancing with Mariah Carey.

It seems talent runs in the family: her brother is quite an actor and dancer, too!
