Grace is off to a running start this year with her first dance competition!! This weekend was the Applause Dance competition in Middleton. Grace was apparently awakened by her nerves at 6:30am on Saturday morning. On the way to Middleton she kept saying how nervous she was. However when we arrived there that morning all the nerves turned into excitement. Seemed as though I couldn't get her ready fast enough! She requested that we wait to do her hair and makeup with the rest of the girls. What a project that turns out to be. Hair needs to be puffed up in front and in a high pony. We have 3 different eye shadows that are to be applied, eyeliner, mascara, eye gems, blush, glitter glimmer for the cheeks and of course lip liner and lip stick, whew!! They also all wear a sparkly choker necklace and hair pony. Then you can't forget about the costume!! It is all quite exhausting and we are always in a rush but it is exciting at the same time.
Grace's jazz group did really well earning a high gold award and her tap received a gold award. Platinum is the highest followed by high gold and gold. The team gets a trophy and the team members each get a pin to wear on their team jackets for each award they win. Grace had a fantastic time and is already counting down the days till the next competition, apparently in 15 days which will be in St. Charles Il!
