What a Champion!

Well once again I am blogging about DANCING!! Friday, Saturday and Sunday - What a very long weekend. We had dancers in every single session, every day!

Friday morning Tara wakes up sick and didn't wan't to dance. I left it up to her! She did dance and even got a recall. She came 11th. Then she slept for the next 4 hours. I had to wake her to watch her brother as I knew she wouldn't want to miss him.

Dan danced amazingly. He pulled out the big guns. I questioned him as to how he thought he went and he responded "I danced my best!". He sure did! He said his dream result would be if Marcus came 4th, Nick  came 3rd and Jay and Him tied for first! But ties at States is rare. Now to put you in the picture, at the Australians last year when Dan came 6th, Marcus (2009 Qld State Champion) instead of congratulating Daniel said "Just remember I'm still the State Champion and my trophey is bigger than yours." Hence why Daniel wanted him to come last.

Well the results were in, Nick 4th, Marcus 3rd, and Jay and Daniel tied for 1st!!!!!! Amazing.

Ardal came 2nd and Emilee came 10th. Well done Guys - You make your mother very proud.

I'll add some photos when I have them. Emilee doesn't know how to download them from her iphone yet.

Teams are wonderful, from 2 to 8 children dancing together. We did really well.  Some highlights = Daniel danced in 7 teams on Sunday and got 3 firsts, 1 second and  3 thirds. Tara and Dan with their friend Kirri came 1st in a 3 hand that means 3 dancers. Ardal danced a 2 hand with his friend Lisa and came 2nd, Emilee only dance in one team and came 5th, Cherree was in that team too.

But the highlight of the weekend was watching Daniel dance in the "Dance of Champions". This is where all the champions from all the age groups dance together then they all do a solo part as the crowd cheers!

I can't wait to show you the video of it. I'm going to check out u-tube now!
