Competition #4 Cont.

Welcome back! So in this blog, I'll be talking about Sunday in my convention experience.

----------------------------------------------------Sunday-------------------------------------------------------------

So we woke up at 6:30 on Sunday, which was better than 5:50, but still early considering the fact we went to bed at 1:30.

We got dressed, did our hair, and left. Thankfully, there was no competition that day, so we didn't need to bring anything else.

We got there at 7:30 and met our team and waited for everyone to get there before classes started. The first class started at 8:00 and it was Ballet. Our whole team was exhausted and wasn't in the mood for any dancing, but we did it anyway. Ballet was peculiar. It felt more like Acrobatics than Ballet until the end. We were doing bridges and push ups until the last five minutes where we did turns. The teacher was even stranger than the class. She would kiss some of her students which was weird, but her credentials were good, so I'm not going to doubt her teaching skills or methods.

At 9:00, we had Contemporary. I enjoyed this Contemporary class more than the one we had on Saturday, but still not my favorite thing. I really liked the choreography, but he taught it so fast, a lot of us simply had trouble picking it up. 10:00 was (sigh) Hip-Hop. It was better that day because it wasn't so fast, the teacher went over it more, and we didn't have the pressure of auditions. So this Hip-Hop class was better than the last. The last class before lunch was 11:00 Jazz. Again, it was Musical Theater Jazz and I really enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun dancing.

We had lunch from 12:00-1:00. We were kicked out of the Teen Room because the Performance Group was rehearsing, so we had to eat with the Juniors. I was happy that this Lunch was an hour compared to the half an hour we had on Saturday because it gave us more time to just hang out and relax.

After a long Lunch, we had my favorite class of the entire weekend which was another Contemporary class. I loved the teacher and his whole vibe. The choreography was great and his teaching method was great as well. I really liked his class.

After the last class, we had a 45 minute break until the Best of Show Competition, Crew Performances, and the Scholarship Presentation at 2:45. It was mostly crews (including the girl from our studio who won the audition) performing until the Scholarship Announcements when something happened we did not expect... 4 people from our studio received scholarships. We had absolutely no idea that what happen. What's more, our studio won an award for Sportsmanship. It sounds corny, but it goes back to what I told you in my first post: our group loves each other. We cheer each other on. There's no cattiness and no fighting. And we cheer other teams on as well. It was good to finally get some recognition . Of course that's not the important thing, but it was nice.

We got picked up around 4:30 when it was over, went back to our grandpa's house, and just relaxed. We went home around 6:00 and had a relaxing night. It was nice to finally be home.

Well thanks for reading. Come back next time!
