Nationals!

We stayed close to home for Nationals again this year, only having to drive back and forth to Sandusky! It was five days of dancing and a lot happened but I'm going to limit this to one picture collage for each day with a description of what happened that day!

Day One!

Day one of Nationals started fairly early but was not a super long day. Paige competed all four of her small groups within the span of about an hour with Invisible Battles receiving a Crystal (!!) and the other three receiving Double Platinum! It was also neon day!

Day Two!

Day two was only one dance in the evening-solo! Paige looked amazing on stage and scored Double Platinum. I was so impressed with her performance and proud of her! The theme was animal print!

Day Three!

Day three's theme was beach so everyone dressed in swimsuits and leis for the most part! Paige's friend wore an inflatable shark costume too! She also only had one dance this day and it received a Crystal!

Day Four!

Day four's theme is obvious by the pictures but it was White-Out! Paige had four dances left by this day and it was all large groups! Amazingly, they all won Crystals!!

Day Five!

Day Five was reserved for the Finals. The best dances of the week compete against each other again to see who comes out on top. Sometimes the results shift and sometimes they're the same as they were earlier in the week. Paige had four dances make it into the finals which is amazing! X and It's All Coming Back to Me won First place and her other two dances won second runner up! It was such an amazing finish to the year. Paige had so many dances that were more mature and more challenging than previous years, I loved getting to watch her grow as the year went on!
