Melissa is on the dance team. They have been crazy busy lately. The last few months they have performed at several basketball games & 4 out the last 5 weekends they have been at competitions. They performed in the kick category. It has been hard on Melissa, at the last basketball game she pulled her groin muscle and it hadn't quite healed. But she was quite the trooper! So almost every Saturday we've been watching her and several other schools perform. These competitions are long days! She had to be at the school by usually 8:30 a.m. and usually we weren't home until 7:30ish. It has been fun watching them perform and get better and better every week! She wouldn't let me put up her 1st performance video because they had improved so much.
Here is one of the basketball games we went to. Our bball team was really good! They made it to regionals. Melissa is quite the sport enthusiast. (It makes her dad very happy & proud!) The dance team had to go out early to get ready to perform. They are in the upper gym getting ready & waiting. You can barely see at the top left corner a person up there watching the game.. that is Melissa.
Here's a closer version of her sneaking a peak at the game.
One of the fun things about going to the competitions is seeing all the other amazing dance routines. Here is one of them.
At the end of some of the dance competitions they have extra time waiting for the judges so all the different teams come out and dance together. It is pretty fun to watch.
Getting ready at another dance competition.
Here is the Capital dance competition, everyone getting out on the floor to dance. I recorded a short video of it.
Melissa doing her splits! She worked hard at being able to do this!!!
Here is there dance routine at the last dance competition where they missed going to districts by 1 point! :(
