Convention!

First dance weekend of the season! Paige didn't have any dances in the competition but spent hours and hours taking convention classes. We arrived 6:45 am on Saturday and she didn't finish dancing until 2:15! This was her first year in the junior room so she was one of the youngest ones in a room that went through age 12. So much talent in there! After the classes she watched and supported her friends who were taking their solos to the stage for the first time. Then there was dinner, awards and swimming before we all went to bed.
Sunday started just as early and Paige danced until about 4 with a couple breaks in between. I could tell energy was running low but she persevered and I was so proud of how much she put into her classes. She worked so hard! She took jazz, ballet, hip hop (both days), jazz/funk, musical theater, tap, lyrical, contemporary and ballet. The day ended with all of the attendees performing on stage and then awards before we left home and ended our day with some ice cream!!
Day one! Ready to start with hip hop!
