Twenty-two hours.
That’s how long Avery and I spent at her Platinum Dance Convention and Competition this past weekend.
The first seven hours Saturday were spent at the Convention where Avery took ballet, musical theatre, contemporary, lyrical, and improv classes. I popped in the ballet session for a few minutes and man was Ms. Georgia scary!
The competition started at 3:30 and during the course of the next three hours, Avery and her dance team performed One Girl Warrior, and She’s in Love. All three received Platinum scores and Warrior received 1stplace award and was asked to dance in Sunday’s closing show.
The first four hours Sunday were spent at the Convention where Avery took Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop and an Audition class. I popped in the Audition class for less than two minutes and in those two minutes, I saw her up front asking a question!
While she didn’t receive any individual awards, she received more than a handful of pins for the entire weekend and on Sunday, Warrior won the award for best choreography; Avery took it upon herself to go on stage to accept the award where she proudly stated her name, her dance company and thanked Ms. Natalie for being such an “awesome dance teacher and choreographer”. Girl loves the stage and spotlight!!
