Dance Dress Rehearsal and Showcase

For the competition dance teams, the girls start learning their choreography in August.  So they are pretty excited by February when competition season rolls around.  The Dance Company always does a big "showcase" right before the first competition where the girls gather for about an hour and a half and everyone does their team dance in front of the rest of the elite team.  It's very fun and motivational for the girls.  I love seeing the amazing choreography and dancing that everyone has worked so hard on.

Jordyn and Lexi have a lyrical dance with Hannah called "Miss Invisible".

Their jazz dance with Roberta is to "Applause".

On the way to dress rehearsal. I thought Jordyn looked so pretty, I had to take a picture!

Then their lyrical trio with Jessie to "Turn to Stone".

We had a little scare with Lexi falling in dance class and tearing some ligaments in her arm just two weeks before our first competition.  Luckily, it healed fast!!

This is what we get emailed out each month for elite team rehearsals.  This is separate from their weekly dance classes.  It's a bit of a puzzle.  And I am thankful for a calendar on my phone!

I get the privilege of gluing on hundreds of rhinestones before the competitions start.  ;-)

At The Dance Company, the girls all have "dance sisters" each year.  They pair an older girl up with a younger girl just to encourage them to root for each other and inspire each other.
