Star Catchers Day 1

So another comp of course, i mean who needs more than a 3 day break between them?!? This comp is going to be interesting because Taylor Studios is there (the studio i started dancing at), Durham Dance Centre is there (my cousin's studio which i danced at for 5 years), and Jacquline's School of Dance (where Gwen also teaches) is there as well. Not to mention the rift between Tammy (DDC) and Jacquline! Oh well what can you do?

Today we started off at the Ajax Comminity Centre. And interesting set-up, a rented thin floor layed out on the cement, but whatever! Another bright and early start cuz Leah danced at 930am! She did an awesome job with her solo, specially considering what had happened the week before! She came in 3rd out of 5 with a Gold.
Then i had a break until the little acro "Wake Me Up". But i was there to start warming them up because they arrived when Leah was going on for adjudication. Since i was being Diane & myself on the thursday, it kept me busy! "Wake Me Up" did a great job too, they actually held all their tricks, Kelly was so excited lol! They got a 2nd place Gold. Then it was time to get Amara ready, since she was first up after lunch for "Foolish Games". She did a BEAUTIFUL job! The best i'd seen it, but was only given a Gold...however, Sarah (Jacquline's daughter) was only awarded a gold aswell, so it didn't sting AS much! But it was still very confusing! After Amara was Miss Brittany's MT solo. She was so cute and nervous!
Brittany's solo was entered in Open and not Novice, even though she should have been Novice, but my little Britt went out there with her "Whatever Lola Wants" and rocked that sh$t!! She got 1st place in her category and a Platinum!! ..::YAY Britt! So Proud of You!!::..
Rebecca danced "Nothing" right after her, and she too did an awesome job! Much better than last weekend, and she was rewarded with a Platinum as well.
Next up was the Rec acro, "Jeramiah Was A Bullfrog". For a rec class that had me pretty worried, these guys did a good job. They got a 2nd place Gold!
Our last number of the night was Amara & Kelsey's "Pink Panther". They weren't terrible, but it wasn't their best time either. They got a 3rd place Gold.
Kelly did her Modern Solo for Denise Lester's and she did a great job! Coming from someone who doesn't really understand or generally like Modern, it was awesome! She got 1st place Platinum and she also got the Starbirght Award (90+ from all 3 judges) and the Starlight Award (highest mark of the session)! ..::WAY2GO Kelly!!! I knew u could do it!::..
That was the end of a LONG day! Tomorrow we move to the high school!

till next time...
