Starpower Nationals

We're back from Mohegan Sun where Julia was competing with her dance teams at Nationals. It was a very long three days but we had a wonderful time.

Her junior acro team, Russian Circus, won 1st place and title of National Champions!!! They were on fire and brought the house down! They were selected to compete in the Battle of the Stars competition on the last day (the best of the best at Nationals). They danced again and came in 2nd place, won the 3rd place Victory Cup for the highest score in the entire 11 and under division (huge accomplishment) and a "showmanship award" (for being respectful to others and for great team work).

This is just some of her acro team....


Julia's mini dance team won 3rd place for Aye Carumba at the National competition. They too were selected to dance again in the Battle of the Stars competition where they came in 2nd place!!! What a huge accomplishment for these girls who have only been dancing together for a year! Look at the size of that trophy!!








And her senior acro team, Jewel of the Nile, won BIG!!! They looked incredible!!! They won 1st place at Nationals winning the title of National Champions! They competed in the Battle of the Stars and won 1st place again, took the 2nd place Victory Cup for the 2nd highest score in the 12 and over division. That was a HUGE deal! So many amazing dances and they had the 2nd highest overall score?? Amazing!!



Danny, Nicholas and Gianna came down to support Julia for a day too which was really nice.


When it was over and we were on our way back home, Julia and I stopped for dinner and she celebrated with this huge treat for dessert.



Her eyes were bigger than her stomach. I think she had three bites and was done.



And so was I. Can you say EXHAUSTED???
