This weekend Kaylee competed in her first dance competition. Kaylee had a fantasic time at DanceXplosion. On Saturday, we watched the older girls compete in the 16-19 year old division. On Sunday, it was the 15 & unders turn. All the kids from our studio did awesome. We are so proud of Kaylee and everyone from Allard Academy of Dance. Here are Kaylee's results:
Teen (13-15) Modern Solo (Novice)- Plantinum Medal (that's the highest medal)
Small Group Teen Lyrical (Novice) High Gold
Small Group Teen Musical Theatre (Novice) High Gold
Kaylee also got a 1st place trophy for the highest score in her category. (O.k. this was sort of a gimme- she was the only one in the category but they only give it if you score high enough).
Kaylee also got a 1st place plaque as the highest scoring Teen Novice Solo (that's overall the styles of dance).
But the best award that Kaylee got was a Special Judge's Award. Each judge can give up to 5 awards. They give them to whatever dancer catches their eye and impresses them in some way. One of the judges gave Kaylee the "Stage Presence Award". She said that she was giving her special award to a novice dancer that lit up the stage whenever she took it. Then she called Kaylee's name and gave her the award and said "The stage loves you."
We couldn't agree more. Way to Go Kaylee!!! We are so proud of you.
