USTA November 2014 Competition Results

Our twirlers had a great start to this year's competition season! They had all worked really hard leading up to this first competition and it definitely paid off.

Anna Claire, Caileigh, Emma, and Olivia all competed in dance twirl team plus their individual events. Their hard work showed when they ALL placed in the top 3 in ALL of their events! That does not happen often - way to go, girls!

We performed the first half of our new dance twirl team routine, a medley of songs from Hairspray, for evaluation. Our team put on a great performance and we look forward to entering the completed routine for competition in February. Be sure to watch it and then check out our twirlers' results below.

USTA March 2014 Competition Results

Anna Claire, Emma, and Olivia all attended the Denver USTA competition this past weekend and did such a great job!

I'm so proud of how hard these girls have been practicing over the last month and what good sports they are at the competition. It makes me grateful to be their coach when I see them handle themselves with such grace at each competition.

The girls also had fun completing a twirling scavenger hunt in between events! They had to find certain tricks in different routines throughout the day. We really enjoyed having Veronica come and watch a portion of the competition with us, too.

Congratulations to Anna Claire who won 1st place in her Novice Solo (age 6-7)! This was her first time competing with her solo and she looked so polished out on the floor.

Here are our twirlers' top 3 results:

Anna Claire: Level C Movement Technique: Passed Nov Solo (age 6-7): 1st place

It was also so much fun to watch Olivia and her dad perform in the sweetheart pairs event! This is an event where a twirler and her dad (or uncle, brother, etc.) twirl to a routine together. They both did such a good job!
