Amy Arnaz: Juliana Cuddles: Little Haley Stories -- Book 2
"Juliana Cuddles" is the 2nd book in my series of "Little Haley Stories" and like "The Magic Tutu" it was also originally presented as a ballet for our youngest dancers at our theatre. This is a true story about my niece, Desiree, and her decision to adopt a little girl kitten with four white paws from the animal shelter. You see, Desiree didn't want just any cat...she wanted a cat that cost $800 and would wear a diamond necklace. Desiree prayed and sat silently until she realized that Real Love wasn't about money and diamonds. And it was that realization that brought Desiree to adopt the kitten with four white paws. Juliana Cuddles (Julie) really was Desiree's cat in real life! Meow! This cute book is full of beautiful FULL COLOR photos taken by our company photographer, Andy Cattoir, in our theatre during the ballet.

Miss AmyAmy Arnaz: The Magic Tutu: Little Haley Stories -- Book 1
"The Magic Tutu" is book #1 in my series of "Little Haley Stories". This is a sweet story about a little ballerina (Haley) with brown eyes and a magic tutu she receives from Grandma on her 7th birthday. Originally presented as a ballet for our youngest dancers at our theatre in Boulder City NV, this inspiring story is now available in book form for intermediate readers. The book is full of beautiful full color photos taken by Andy Cattoir during the performances at our theatre. My suggestion is for Mommy or Daddy to read this story to their very little ones. Little girls as young as age 3 love this story...and parents do too! If you click on the book cover you can order from amazon. If you go to my site TheMagicTutu.com you can order the book, the Magic Tutu CD, Magic Tutu T-shirt and the handmade Little Haley doll. xoxo Miss Amy

Biography
That's me in the photo with one of my ballet students, Kristina. Andy Deetz snapped this photo in our theatre lobby during Cinderella where Kristina danced as a Palace Servant.
I have studied ballet my entire life and owned my own ballet school for 27 years. I'm married to Desi Arnaz Jr and together we renovated the Historic Boulder Theatre in our town (Boulder City NV) and now our theatre is home to non-profit Boulder City Ballet Company. We present a lot of wonderful shows in our theatre including yearly Chautauqua, classic ballets such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia and The Nutcracker. I also write original ballets for my students and because of Desi's technical ability, these ballets are brought to life almost like a Broadway show. To date, the most beloved ballet I wrote for my students is "The Magic Tutu". We turned it into a little book for our students but it's also available at Amazon and on my website TheMagicTutu.com.
I was honored to receive the "Spirit of Nevada Award" from our Congressman Jon Porter and was also recognized by the 109th Congress for my service to my community. That made me very happy! Our local Rotary presented me with their revered "Service Beyond Self Award" for my service to our community and for my work with children.
I live in a small community and love my quiet life. We have 5 cats and a scruffy little dog. We feed the neighborhood feral cats and periodically trap, neuter & release them back into our yard to control the population.
I love my family, ballerinas, animals, friends, theatre and our community. But most of all, I love Life.
