The First Judging....

Macy presented her Solo on Saturday to her fellow classmates, teachers & judges that were asked to come in and provide some critiques. I think Macy psyched herself out waiting to perform - she was a little nervous up there, and it showed. She said it's much scarier to perform in front of people you know than complete strangers. She did dance it beautifully and the only negative comments were "point your toes at all times, complete each movement completely & remember to connect with the audience". The positives were "you're such a beautiful dancer and we love to watch you perform, you have great stage presence & beautiful expression". Yesterday she spent at least 3 hours practicing, and must have rehearsed her routine no less than 30 times (I'm NOT kidding!). She is feeling way more confident now! Lets hope she stays feeling that way!



She did decide on a costume change - this dress didn't allow for enough freedom of movement, so she decided to go with something else.....
