Competition

Ame joined the competition dance team this year.

And now after LOTS of practices

it is competition time!

They had their first of three on Saturday.

They have learned 2 dances.

In Saturdays comp. they got

1st place for their jazz routine and

2nd for hip-hop.

WAY TO GO!!

When we signed up I knew it was going

to be a BIG commitment (both financial & time),

but I think it was even more than I anticipated.

Quinn had class on the night of her practices,

which meant I had all of the kids to entertain

for an hour and a half while she was at practice

(as it was too far away to come home).

She has really enjoyed it, but I think we are

going to take a break from this dance

(still take hula) and try something new-

sports, music,...whatever Ame wants.

She's young and this is the time to explore, right?!

I am very proud of Ame for her hard work & dedication
even when we got to twice a week practices and she

was WAY oversheduled (also doing the play and hula),

and she had little time to just be a kid.

You are one very

cute & amazingly talented girl

Ame'lia!!
