2011 competition season

The last month has been crazy. We had all (but one) of the girls' dance competitions for the year. Unfortunately, 3 of them were scheduled back-to-back, so 3 weekends in a row were spent all day at dance competitions. Tiring!! However, the girls love it and they have a blast with all their dance friends.


I FINALLY caught Syd in the air on her aerial!


They have flipped her like this for the past 2 years. I've tried to stop being nervous every time.

This is the first year Savanna's been in a lift. She looks so graceful in it.




Do you see anything the matter with this picture? You probably don't, but I do. If you look at her left hand, she has on a ring. She is NOT supposed to! LOL The only jewelry she's allowed are those wrist bands, earrings, and necklace. Oops!!! Don't tell her dance director!!!





This is Syd's lyrical dance. It is so pretty and cute for these little girls. They have won first every time and even overall for their age division for this or their other dance at 3 of the 4 competitions (and at the other one they weren't competing because it was their director's competition and she doesn't count their scores in with the other teams because she doesn't think it's fair for her teams to be placed).

No, Savanna isn't supposed to be smiling. Throughout the beginning of this lyrical, they're all supposed to be straight faced. It is such a pretty routine. After competition season is over, then I'll post the YouTube links and you can watch the routines if you like.


Getting funky Cobra Style!! Savanna has some serious attitude and facial expressions in this dance.


All the little girls on Syd's team kill me with their facial expressions in this routine. They love it and have tons of fun with it. Sydney is always into her showmanship, in case you couldn't tell!






This is a really fun dance. The girls are fighting over the dance folding chair, and not just my girls, all the girls in the entire routine. It's such an entertaining routine! I love that my girls are together for lots of stuff in the routine so I can get pictures of them together.




At times it is exhausting and time consuming and expensive for my girls to dance, but they love it and so we do it!!
