last little bit of 2011

We finished up 2011 with 3 competitions in December.

Southeastern States in Orlando, FL. We took 1st in Rising star smooth, 2nd in rising star theater arts, 1st in pro show dance, 2nd in pro rising star, 1st in pro theater arts. it was a very busy weekend since we did 3 different show routines in addition to all the rounds of smooth, but we had a great time and we were even able to spend some time in Sea World (which was really cool!!)

Holiday Dance Classic in Vegas. We took 1st in rising star smooth and 1st in open pro show dance. we made the semi final of the open pro smooth. This was also a fun weekend since my parents were able to come and watch again. We were also able to spend some time with our really good friends who moved from new jersey to utah.

Yuletide Ball, Washington D.C. We took 1st in rising star smooth, 1st in open pro showdance, and 1st in pro smooth. Talk about a great way to end the year.

We were also able to ring in the new year by performing with the philadelphia orchestra on new years eve. It was such a fun and exciting event to be apart of. It definitely had its challenges since dancing to live music is subject to interpretation and different from the recorded version we had practiced to, but we were so glad we could be included in this special evening. What an honor to perform with such an amazing group.
