The Competition

I promised I would post the results of the dance competition with pictures, but Frank's dad and my mom (who flew out from Delaware to see the comp.) took videos rather than still shots, so that makes sharing action footage problematic. However, we did manage to get a few photos, and we'll try to capture more from the videos.

Our first dance was at 8am on Saturday, which meant getting up at 5:30am to prepare (makeup, hair, costume). My grandma flew in from California the day before and stayed at the hotel were the comeptition took place. My mom arrived just as we started the cha-cha. It was nerve-wracking to be out on the floor in front of the judges, but it also gave me a bit of a rush. It helped that all the couples in each category go out on the floor at once.

The first photos are from the rythm dances, in which we performed cha-cha, rumba, and swing. In the newcomer category, we placed 3rd out of 8. In the bronze category we survived one elimination round (down to 20 from 34) but didn't make it after that.


Here we are back at Frank's place after the Saturday competition with our medals.





I will add info on the Sunday competition (the smooth dances) when I have photos to go with it.
