Gabby's 1st & 2nd dance competitions!

This month Gabby and I have been busy traveling to her first two dance competitions of the year. Two weeks ago she attended Hollywood Dance Jamz's convention and competed in Branson, MO. Gabby earned a scholarship to the convention this summer so she was very excited to attend.

For their first time out, THR!VE did wonderfully. The team earned several Platinum and High Gold honors. Gabby earned High Gold in all 5 of her pieces (jazz solo, jazz duet, small group lyrical, large group jazz and production.) Her solo placed 3rd overall among outstanding talent. She did very well and we got several great photos from the competition. Here is a collage from the weekend:

Last weekend, the team competed at Masquerade in Bentonville, Arkansas. Again, the team did awesome! Gabby's team earned Platinum in their production piece and her other pieces received High Gold. Gabby's division for her solo was very small so she didn't earn overall placement.  Her duet placed third in a very competitive division. They competed again girls several years older than them. The pieces that placed first and second are fellow team members who are incredible dancers. Not bad for two 2nd graders! Here is a collage from the weekend:
