Dance Videos from Regionals!

Our apologies for just now getting this to you. We had to wait quite some time to get the videos we ordered in the mail. They don't let you take pics or video at these competitions so you have to buy their stuff. Quite a racket I tell ya. LOL

Anyway, this is the Regional Qualifier for Nationals. All of Taylor's dances qualified for Nationals, and we couldn't be prouder.

So we are going to get this things started right with Peanut Butter and Jelly Time. This is a large group Hip Hop number choreographed by our Miss Toni! Its always the dance that gets the crowd into the competition. I'm not just saying that because I'm partial either. You will understand once you have watched it. So get your popcorn ready and hang on because its gonna be a fun ride! Take it away Taylor!

By the way she starts in the back. She is in the group on the right, and she is the one on the left of that group with the long blond hair. She start right underneath the O in StageOne on the backdrop.



The next dance is Taylor's small group ballet. It also took 1st Place in Category as well as 1st Place in the overall and qualified for Nationals in Branson Missouri. It is choreographed by our sweet Miss Jen. Taylor is the tall one, hard to miss in this.



Last but certainly not least is Taylor's small group tap number. If you cant tell they are The Muppets and Taylor is Miss Piggy, so you shouldn't have any difficulty figuring out where she is in this one either. Choreography on this one is by Taylors favorite tap teacher and Director of her team Miss Amy!



So leave Taylor some comment love and tell her what you thought.

I Love Dance Competition Results

This past weekend Taylors dance team competed at a competition called I Love Dance. For the two dances she does (The Muppets and 4 Swans) that are in the same age group, both won 1st Place in their category. Because the two dances were in the same age group they had to compete against each other in the overall. Overall is where they put all categories in that age group into one big group and give 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places for the overall. There were about 30 dances and 4 Swans got 1st Place in the overall while The Muppets took 2nd. Cant complain about that.



Then her third dance which is Peanut Butter and Jelly Time (you can see the video of all three dances below) which is a Hip Hop number also got 1st place in its category. It also got 1st Place overall amongst 36 dances, and also won Best in Show at the end of the day which is the most prestigous award they give out for the competitions best dance.

We are extremely proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to our Nationals competition.

Way to go Taylor, we are SOOOOO proud of you!

Masquerade Dance Competition 2011

Taylor just finished her first dance competition. She was in 3 dances, a few of which you may have already seen here and some you may not have.

The dances are judged first individually which is the judges critique. The scores are silver, high silver, gold, high gold, and platinum with silver being awarded usually never as it is the lowest you can receive. Platinum is the highest and it is about as rare as silver. Gold and High Gold are given out the most with Platinum very rare as it is the top score you can receive.

After the individual scores there are rankings (1st, 2nd, 3rd) that are given out for each category.

Taylors dances earned Gold, High Gold, and PLATINUM!! Extremely high scores especially since it was many of our kids first competition ever.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Time earned the Platinum score and also won 1st place in category as well as a special judges award. It was the hit of the night.

The Muppets dance earned a Gold ranking, and the 4 Swans dance got a High Gold. The 4 Swans also won 1st place in category as well.

We only have a few pics to share now of The Muppets and The 4 Swans. The video should be here in about two weeks and we will post all of the dances from competition then. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

We are so proud of you Taylor and all you have accomplished thru dance.
