Competition Weekend!!

Grace competed in the Showstopper Regional dance competition this weekend in Middleton, what an exciting time for her! Her group was in the small mini recreational division, which is a group that practices less than 3 hours a week, ages 7 and under and less than 12 dancers. She had 4 girls and 1 boy in her group and they did a routine to "Your the one that I want" from Grease!! She has had a blast practicing and was SO excited for this competition day to come!! They did a wonderful job and all looked adorable in their costumes complete with poodle skirts, neck scarves and saddle shoes! More importantly they walked away with the highest honor of Double Platinum and received a nice trophy for the group and medals for each member!! The scoring works this way, Double Platinum, Platinum 1st Place, Gold 1st Place, and Silver Awards will be decided by a predetermined range of points for each place. They also placed 4th overall in their group, which was even more exciting!! The top nine receive recognition ribbons and 1st of course gets a trophy. They did get to go up and announce their names and where they were from while they replayed clips of their dance on the screens!!
I have to say it was a very exciting day for all of us who attended! It was so much fun to see her up there and cheer her on! Congratulations Grace, your our star!!
