Let me explain the awards for those not familiar to the dance world...which was me just yesterday! Each dance gets a ranking from the judges, Diamond, Saphhire or Ruby. Most dances receive either Saphhire or Ruby and only a select few ever get the Diamond ranking. For Rockstar, they received Saphhire...not bad for their first time in a competition! Then they compete against all other entries in their age category. So, for the 8 and under category for Level 1 small group, they received 2nd place overall. For both of these they got a trophy for the gym and then each girl gets a ribbon. Finally, they got a judges special award titled "Pomtastic".Next was a LONG wait till the trio. We did get to watch the rest of the solos from our gym, and both of Makenna's good friends did their solo (Makenna is dying to have one of her own). Finally Makenna, Emma, and Bailey did their Lollipop routine.
They were amazing!!! They did such a great job and looked adorable out there. I can't wait to see the video. Brigitte (their dance teacher and the one in the following picture ) said they got off stage and all said, "That was so much fun, can we do it again?" Good thing for them, they have another compeition in 2 weeks! At awards, they got....DIAMOND!! That's the highest honor and only a few were even awarded that! They asked the girls their names and they talked so well into the microphone. I was so proud of all them. There were no other trios in their age category, but for all levels, of all ages, they were the only one with a Diamond ranking. They got a big trophy for coming in first.
Even though we have to take the trophy back to the gym, Makenna wanted to sleep with it in her room tonight. She feels so special to have a BIG trophy. What a great first competition and thanks Nana Ward, Daddy, Camden, and Laney for coming to be such a huge support!
