DANCE COMPETiTiON!
Last Friday, i went to the meadowlands for a dance competition. My friend Madison came and picked me and brielle up, and then we left. It took like an hour to get there. When we got there, we had to wait for the bell hop or whatever to get there, and it took forever to get all of our stuff on the rack. Then we went into our room, and chilled for a while and ate some food. Then we went to bed, and woke up in the morning around 7. We went to the dance workshops. It was a lot of fun. We learned some pretty cool some dances and we got to meet famous teachers. We skipped a few classes and had a great time up in our rooms. (lol right girls?) Then we had an audition and three people made it from our studio. Then i had to leave and get my makeup on because we were going to run through our "Le Carnivale" number since it's a big production and we need a lot of space. It was kind of hectic, and Brielle fell off the stage. Then I had to get my costume on for "Baby I'm A Star." We were number four. We got on that stage, and did a really good job. Then i got changed for my next dance, and sat in the audience for a little while. After that, it was finally time for us to go on. We did "Bridge over troubled water," and then we had to hurry up and get changed for "Shake it, baby" lol. After that, it was time for the junior awards. We got first for "Baby I'm A Star and Bridge over troubled water, and we got second for Shake it, baby." Then we performed "Le Carnivale" at midnight. It was the very last number of the competition. I didn't get to do my second backhandspring because i was about to fall off stage, and the finale was all messed up, but we still got first place, and best overall performance for it. Then we found out that we got in the showcase for Le Carnivale. For the showcase, the judges pick one number from each studio to perform the next day in the showcase. They picked three numbers from our studio, though. Since Le Carnivale got picked, it meant that we had to stay till 5 the next day instead of leaving around 12. So we performed the dance and this time i was about to do my secondbackhandspring, i had enough space and all, and all of a sudden my mask and hood falls off and it got me all distracted so i didnt do it. I was so upset, but oh well. Then we left, and got home around 6. We all had a really fun time!
