It's my favorite time of the year where our Fridays and Saturdays are completely booked and we get to spend all day at dance competitions. And if you think I'm joking, you're wrong. I truly love competition season and watching our girls perform onstage.
Brynn has 3 team dances this year. Her Lyrical dance is called "Head under water" and her costume is stunning. Her jazz is called "Spicy" and let me tell you, these girls are exactly that... spicy! They all have so much sass. Her hip hop dance is called "This is Hop" and it is so creative and fun.
Makayla is in 4 dances this year. Haiden choreographed 3 of her 4 dances, so you know how good they all are. Hip hop is called "Demons of Despair", lyrical is "Dream on" and it is so good because it's like organized chaos and then suddenly they're all together doing a move. And her jazz is called "It Girl" and they all have so much sass and class in this dance. Her only dance that isn't the best this year is her contemporary dance called "Chasing Cars".
The Synergy showcase was great and we have the best cheering squad to support our girls.
Then it was time for their first comp. Makayla is doing a trio this year with her best dance friends Harper and Avery called Mean Girls. But these girls are anything but mean. They are the sweetest girls and they are all so supportive of each other. But they also know how to play the part on stage, and they totally pull off the part of mean girls as they dance. Their first time competing this dance and they got 2nd place!
Makayla competed her solo and she did amazing. She was so nervous for this solo because she was competing against some of her school friends and some of her teammates. Her dance was amazing and her emotion was unmatched. Makayla got 1st in her division and judges choice! Then when they did the overall awards, she placed 4th overall in the intermediate category!!
Saturday was team comp day and all of the dances did so well! Brynnli's hip hop dance placed overall in the beginning category and in the junior division. Her Jazz got overall in the junior category, and her lyrical got high gold.
Makayla's hip hop got 1st place and judge's choice, lyrical got judge's choice, 1st place and 1st over all. Contemporary got high gold, and jazz got judge's choice and 3rd overall.
Synergy totally swept this competiton!
Time for another solo. I love that the girls have Haiden as their choreographer. She comes to all of their comps and calms their nerves before they go onstage. Brynn took 2nd in this competition, but she was up against a dancer that probably shouldn't have been in the beginning division.
At this competition Makayla was performing on the stage and Brynn was in the gym. They stage dances were running on time, but the gym had some music problems and were running about 30 minutes behind. We watched Brynn perform and then headed over to the stage to watch Makayla. Haiden took Makayla backstage to get warmed up and we were taking pictures of Brynn when Haiden called and said Makayla was going on stage right then! We ran in the auditorium just as she walked on stage. She didn't even have time to warm up or run through her dance before she performed it, but guess what? Like the true professional dancer she is, she went onstage and rocked it flawlessly. Haiden said she wasn't even nervous when they told her she was on next.
Makayla ended up winning 1st in her division and best costume. And Brynn won 2nd in her division and best showmanship.
One last solo comp for the month. This was Brynn's chance to compete against her teammates. She tried to throw some of her more difficult tumbling and didn't land it, so she ended up getting 3rd this competition, but she did such a great job and her facials and sass were so good.
And we even took a little break with Daddy for some Mexican food for lunch.
We love watching our girls perform onstage and can't wait for the next competition.
