We have been traveling like crazy the since my last post. here is what we have been up to:
Sept 23-25 we went to boston for a competition. we didn't dance since there weren't any pro events, but travis took a few students and they did SO well! One of his students' took first in her scholarship event and his other student took first in her single dances. woohoo!
Oct 1 Constitution State in Stamford, Connecticut. we took 1st in showdance and 2nd in open pro smooth. they didn't have rising star at this competition.
October 7-9 First Coast Classic in St. Augustine, Florida. we took 2nd in Rising Star (we weren't very happy), 2nd in show dance and 4th in open pro smooth. Even though we weren't very happy with our results this weekend we had SO much fun hanging out. It was such a crazy weekend because we flew the same day we danced and we had a layover in DC where we missed our connecting flight because we were complete idiots and we were just talking and laughing and next thing we know boom... the door was closed and we missed our flight, ah! however, we were able to get on another flight and barely make it in time to dance. Also, we rented a car for the weekend and they randomly upgraded our car for free to a mustang :)). plus we were able to do some great shopping at some outlet malls near our hotel, so we managed to have a good time.
Oct 14-16 Hotlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. This competition was awesome we had so much fun yet again, plus we had great results as well :). We took 5th in open pro smooth (amazing result), 1st in showdance and 1st in Rising star smooth. plus we spent a day in Atlanta hanging out. we went to the world of coca cola which was so fun since they have a big tasting center where you can try all of their sodas from around the world. we also had lunch at a place called mary macs. they found out we were dancers and they took our pictures and thought we were famous, it was so funny.
Oct 21-22 New Jersey State Open in Longbranch, NJ. We took 1st in open pro smooth, 1st in rising star smooth and 2nd in show dance. definitely a good weekend plus it was nice because we were able to drive each night to the competition and spend the day at home for a change.
Nov 2-7 Caribbean Classic in Puerto Rico. Best competition of my life!!! so much fun and the most amazing vacation all wrapped into one. and it was double the fun becuase my parents were able to come and see us dance for the first time since we turned professional. it was so fun having them come and seeing how proud they were. we took 1st in rising star smooth, 1st in open pro smooth and 2nd in showdance. I will post details about the vacation portion with pictures later.
Nov 17-21 Ohio Star Ball in Columbus, ohio. This was our first time going to the infamous Ohio Star ball and it was such an exciting weekend!! We took 1st in the Professional Theater Arts division which was a HUGE accomplishment since the couple that took 2nd has consistently beaten us in the past, so we were shocked to win and couldn't have been more excited. In open pro smooth we made the semi-final, we were hoping to make the final, but we were very happy with our dancing. For rising star smooth we took 1st in all dances, which was exciting and we were very happy with our dancing for the weekend. all in all it was a very successful weekend and definitely one to be proud of, especially since it was our first time ever attending the event.
