Ava has had a hard time with dance this year, she doesn't seem to like it as much as she did last year. She often doesn't want to go, and asks "how much longer" when we are there. And getting her to practice is a nightmare. I would have just quit taking her if we hadn't already signed up for her to compete, and I thought she should finish it, plus we paid for it already! And I was so worried that she would get up for her solos and throw a fit or refuse to dance or something. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much she liked performing! She loves to get her makeup done, so that helps, plus she loves the limelight, apparently. She had a ball dancing for the judges!
Here she is with her friend Riley. They dance on the same team. Ava dances on a team, and then did two solos. She did a team dance last year, but this was the first year for solos.
Here is her team backstage, waiting to go on.
Here she is after her solo. She was so proud, "I did it!"
I am thinking I will try a few other things for her, find something that she gets really excited about all year, not just at the end, like dance. But I am so glad that she will remember this experience as positive, and that she had so much fun. She can't wait to dance in Lagoon for Nationals. I will post some videos of her dancing as well. So cute!
