Dance like everybody's watching

Today I had a dance competition in Minneapolis at the Convention Center. I had to get up at 7 so that was kind of a bummer but that's okay. Some of the girls at my studio had to get up at 4 to be at the convention center by 7 so I was lucky! I had a fun time and it's the last time I ever have to wear that costume and do that dance so that's good. This is my first year ever going to competition and I was so nervous! At the first competition about a month ago I thought I was going to throw up but this time it went better. I didn't mess up as much this time either. We got first in our division but that's only because we were the only group in our division so we were guaranteed first place. The awards you can get are diamond - the best, gold - in the middle, and silver - last. We got silver. So, pretty much that means that we were bad. And it's funny because we got first... I wonder what people were thinking. :) Anyways, that doesn't matter. I had fun and it was a good experience. And we got to go shopping after so of course it was an awesome day! Oh, yeah and next Saturday the 16th is our recital at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center so you should all come and check it out. It'll be worth your time. There is one show at 2 and one at 7. I also have a jazz concert that day at 5 so it's going to be a busy day for me!!! AHHH!!! But anyways, hope to see everyone at the recital and even at the jazz concert.

Dance Concert

Hey!  Tomorrow is our dance concert at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center.  I'm really excited.  I hope it goes well.  There are many interesting dances - including the Jazz Nutcracker and Cinderella.  I'm only in ballet.  Sometimes I wish I were in jazz.  It looks like so much fun.  We've been working on the dances since the end of June!  It takes a lot of work to put on a dance show.  Everyone has to know the moves and everything has to be synchronized.  If you've never been to a dance show you should come check it out.  It's a lot of fun.  My Grandparents, Mom, Dad, and Brother like to come.  Even my boyfriend likes to come.  Everyone seems to enjoy it!  So, if you have time tomorrow at 3:00 come out and see us dance.  I think you'll be impressed.
