We just got home from a great dance competition in NJ. J did her first vocal solo of the season and her 2 dance solos. Our studio didn't do groups for this one. The 3 highest scores to get were: High-Silver, Gold, and High Gold. J got Gold for all 3 of her solos! Our studio took just about all the overall high scores tonight. In one age group (seniors) 3 of our numbers took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! It was pretty cool. The studio owner said J gets stronger every time she performs and now that she has technique and personality taken care of, all she has to work on is hitting the jumps with a little more power.

Next week we have a 3-day comp and then another the week after. J will be rehearsing every day this week. She was there every day last week, too, and the first thing she says this morning is that she can't wait to start dancing today.

Kids.
