Competition Day

The day has finally arrived. This is the day that I have been waiting for. It took 5 years, 8 months and 24 days. Brynlee's 1st dance competition was today. The competition was at Salt Lake Community College and we were there from 8:15 this morning until 7:00 tonight. Because of some changes that the studio made this year, Brynlee's age group is able to perform in 3 dances at each competition. She does a Jazz, Hip Hop and and Entire Team Routine. The day was everything I had imagined it would be and I got the same familiar pit in my stomach anticipating her performances as I used to on a competition day. It's the one that makes you feel like you want to throw-up. I will spare the details on that one. Her team did very well for their first competition and walked away with three 2nd place finishes. Harlee kept telling me, "My dance by myself in my dance competition" and was really upset when the competition was over and she didn't get a chance to dance. We let her run around on the floor after the competition was over so she could "dance" for us. I have a feeling we may be in a bit of trouble with her because she is ready to compete like Brynlee already. The next competition is next weekend in Logan and I will have another update then. Way to go Salt City Stars!!!
