Revolution Talent Competition

The girls had their first studio competition this past weekend!!! I was so happy for them and all the kids!!  It was the first studio competition in over a year because of Covid.  The competitions are running them with one whole studio as a block so it's basically like a recital.  That means super fast crazy costume changes and lots of running back and forth between the dressing room and the stage.  But it was so great to see all their hard work!  NEDA produces such talented dancers.  We are so fortunate to have such a fabulous dance studio in hometown!  

Julia won Revolutionary medals for both of her solos which is the highest you can get!!  That meant her total score was at least a 295 out of 300 points!  That's amazing!  55 solos and she placed 9th overall.  Top ten is always a good thing!!  

1st place Flora Dickins 

2nd place Mya Xeller - Performing Art Studio BE

3rd place Alyssa - NEDA

4th place Arabella Buono - Performing Art Studio BE

5th place Liz Bazinet - The World of Dance 

6th place Lili Cook - The World of Dance

7th place Kylie Bruno - The World of Dance

8th place Kylie Torello - Performing Art Studio BE

9th place - Julia - Find Me 

10th place Mychela Jones - Performing Art Studio BE

I was so happy to see Gianna up on the stage for the first time in two years!  She looked fantastic!!

Before production performs at competitions, the group gathers in a circle and the seniors stand in the middle to encourage the younger dancers before they go on stage...which meant this year it was Julia's turn...

Just look at those gorgeous eyes...

Our studio was only able to schedule two competitions this year due to Covid so...one down and only one more to go which is Hall of Fame Nationals in July.  They also have 3 recital shows to look forward to. Julia is doing one more solo competition on her own too just for fun.  I'm just so proud of my girls!!
