I don't think Drew and I could have been any prouder of Macy on Friday night! Her solo was an absolute success with her placing 1st in Lyrical and winning the biggest prize of the night with the "Overall Highest Points Scored" award (out of 68 girls who performed ranging in ages 7 - 13). You can see she won a huge trophy for that one - it stands only a foot shorter than she is! And along with the trophy she won $100.00! I think she was most excited about that! She was so nervous when we arrived, especially because she had to compete first and against a teammate who she thought for sure was going to beat her. But she danced so beautifully (I don't think she could have done any better), I think she set the bar for the rest of her competitors. As they were calling out the awards starting from 5th place up to 1st, each time they didn't call her name, my heart beat faster. When her teammate placed 3rd, and they didn't call Macy 2nd, everyone began screaming! Macy had won her division! After all those awards were given, they ended with the 3 biggest of the night - best costume + $25, best showmanship + $25 & overall high points + $100.00. After the first two were called, the thought of "what if Macy has won this last award?" crossed my mind very briefly. And low and behold, she actually won it! It was great to see the Dance Studio owners jumping up and down and cheering for her too! We were all so proud!
Some of the judges comments were, "Gorgeous dancer, really feels the music & shows emotion", Beautiful choreography, great emotion, especially for such a young dancer! Impressive!" Now we get to do it all over again this weekend! Hopefully it will go as well this Friday, as it did last Friday!
I'm done gloating now.... for a minute anyway....
A girl & her Trophies!
All Macy's friends from PC Dance Academy placed high!
Macy & Sierra - all smiles and very relieved!
Best friends Ellie (who placed 1st in Jazz), Sissy the best supporter ever, and Macy's cheering squad in Carter and Mallory (thanks for screaming so loudly)!
