Nationals 2010! Part 1

This weekend was INSANE! We had Nationals Dance Competition at UVU.

Tiffany had her solo on Friday. So, we went up then so she could perform. She did really well, but when she went to do her heel stretch, she messed up. So, it fell. She kept going and finished strong, but was SO frustrated about her mistake. She worried that it would cost her Queen. I had to remind her that no matter what, I am SO proud of her and that she has done an AMAZING job this year. We went to the awards ceremony that night, and she was playing around at the jam and I caught a great roundoff midair.



She ended up getting 1st Attendant (which is the spot right below queen). The competition was REALLY tough at the queens invitational division (which is what she was in, since she had taken 2 queens at 2 regional comps). So, still pretty good!









The following day, on Saturday, we had team competitions. For our Jazz dance, we had taken 1st place at previous regional competition. So, we were in the invitational division of the championships and therefore up against the other teams in that category who had taken 1st. When Tiff as performing, it seemed as though she was having a harder time wth this dance and seemed to be a bit off. She still did really well.







We had both our dances really close together again and we had 15 minutes to get the girls ready and go from curly hair to sleek buns- which is an utter nightmare since Tiff has SO much hair. It's hard enough getting it in a bun when its fully wet, much less when its dry AND curly! They ran to a different place to perform their next dance which was pretty far away so we had to rush. We got there in time for them to go on.
