Kenzie won!

These are before the comp. started

Kenzie has been practicing her solo dance for months and months and months and all that hard work and dedication paid off big time! She won 1st place for competitive hip hop 9 and 10 yr olds and is going to Nationals in July. I asked her how she felt when they called her name and she said, "All I could do was smile and smile" her dance is Circus by Brittney Spears and she's a Jack in the box and dances on and off a big box.
Her friend Eythan also did a hip hop solo and won 1st place for intermediate hip hop for 9 and 10 yr olds and her friend Kelsey from hip hop team won a TOP 2nd overall for the whole competition and diamond first for her lyrical solo. They totally rocked because this was all of their first time to compete in the solo division. They made Shayna (dance teacher) proud!

Now, we start all over again tomorrow for the team categories! Kylan is so excited because this will be his first competition and he can't wait!!!

Walking out to the car they were yelling and screaming because they were so pumped up!

The girls did really well in this competition they took the High Gold trophy. We are so proud of them for working so hard. Here are a couple of pics that I took and a couple are courtesy of another dance mom named Elizabeth. It took us almost an hour just to get to the comp. due to the snowy weather and we were stopped on the highway for around 20 min. because some of the cars couldn't make it up the hill. 6-8" of snow is a lot for our area...we usually only get ice!
