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.

Nutcracker 2010

Taylor is soon to dance in her first Nutcracker. She got the part she wanted the first time she was able (at her age) to audition. We are very proud of this and all of her accomplishments in dance.

It will be a wonderful moment during what is a very special time of year. Just another way for her to celebrate Him during the month of His birth while using the very gifts that He has blessed her with.

Her is a video of one of the dress rehearsals. She is a mouse and about the only way you can pick her out is to look for the one with the red bow with the white poka dots. It looks like the bow on Minnie Mouse.

She starts on your left then goes to the right side of the stage and back. She is in the back on your left as you view the video in the part where they are all on stage at once. She is also one of the two that carry off the dead mouse. She picks up the other little girls arms.

The video isnt great, but hopefully you will be able to see some of it.



Taylor,

We are so proud of all you have accomplished through dance. God truly gave you some amazing gifts through song and dance. It is more than a smile and often a tear that is the result of what we feel in our hearts while watching you.

Your mother, brother and I are so proud of you and cant wait to see you dance both now and into the future. We know that this is only the beggining, and we cant wait to see more!

We Love You,

Mommy, Daddy, Will, and Bogey
