EJ's first dance competition

EJ joined her dance studio's dance company this year. She takes five classes (four required and one optional), and they compete at three local competitions. This first competition was held this past weekend at our local high school, and it was a LONG day (had to be there at 7AM, got home at 11:30 PM). Here are some fun shots from the day, most taken in the hallway while they were practicing:

"The Conga" - jazz. Check out the clip-on pony tail and shimmery rhinestone earrings! She's in the back row, left.



Lunch break!



"Tutti Fruitti" - tap. I love this costume!



Striking a pose (front right):


"Double Dutch Bus" - hip hop. They have a giant yellow bus made out of PVC pipe that they push around the stage for this number - very cute!


Front row, center:
"Tout Doucement" - ballet. Yikes, don't know my French, not sure I spelled the name of the song correctly? Anyway, these costumes are quite hypnotizing when there are 14 of them spinning around on stage!

"Dream" - lyrical


Her team won five high silver awards. The next competition is the second weekend in April.
