1) About a month ago, I competed in a local competition in preparation for THE BIG ONE. The big one, by the way, is DanceSport, which is held at BYU. In the local competition I did surprisingly well, placing first with my fun partner Cameron in the silver-level waltz. I also recieved ribbons in the foxtrot and the paso doble, but that was pretty much by default, since not many couples entered. Still, though, a first place! Pretty ribbons:
2) I've recently become a part of a tap dance ensemble (performing team)! It's very, very exciting. To check the web site, go to http://www.footpoetry.com/ - but it's not nearly finished, so don't expect too much!
3) DANCESPORT!!!! It was so, so fun. I competed 3 events, and made it to quarter-finals in the rumba, which was the event for the level above us.
The Rumba, which I danced with Cameron, and made it to quarter-finals.
The Samba, which I danced with Cameron.
This video I didn't mean to upload, but surprise! These children can REALLY dance. I figured if I spent all that time uploading it, I may as well post it. These pre-teen kids are way better than I am. They're dancing the Paso Doble.
The waltz, which was the first dance of my Novice Standard event (the fancy, schmancy, paid for a coach, bought a dress, etc. etc. event) - I danced this with Jared.
The Quickstep, which was the second (and final) dance of my Novice Standard event. (Obviously, still with Jared, since it's all one event.) Note: this dance was kind of a disaster, but you can't really tell that much in the video.
