It's That Time Again!

Dance Competitions 2012 have started! The first one was in February, which was Starpower. It was a very long day. Kaiya is in 7 dances and the way that the schedule usually pans out I have to run backstage to switch Kaiya's hair after each dance. She has all different costume changes but her hair is also different for just about every dance.

Kaiya did really well in all of her dances. Her solo was absolutely fabulous! I was so proud of her! She ended up getting 4 3/4 starts (out of 5) and placed 9th overall in her age group. She went against some really good dancers in her age division, some dancing lyrical, jazz, hip hop and tap. Hip hop usually doesn't score very well so it just shows how well she did!

Chris a fellow ADA dancer and choreographer/teacher was called on stage and did a little freestyle dance.
