Hey ya peoples! During the weekend, Mom & I had the opportuninty to go to IF for my Gem State compition! As most of you should know I take ballroom so this was a fun thing for me to do! Friday night, was the team compitition which our pre-Jrs had to dance against. In other words, 12 & 13 teen year-olds against 14, 15, 16 year-olds. It was quite interesting to be the youngest there but suprisingly we did really well! On our waltz, we got a 91%! That is really good for our age. And for our samba, we got a 95%!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT 2nd PLACE ON OUR SAMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We came next to the older IBA team, Mr. Zoot Suit by 0.7%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was really good for us being the youngest & next to Zoot Suit! We were all really, Really, REALLY happy!
On Saterday we did sylibis (partner dancing) which we again had to dance against Jrs. I again did really well. For the Cha Cha, I got 5th, & the Foxtrot, 7th! I was grinning ear to ear. That 100% made happy. Some of my peeps didn't even get in the finals, so I felt good on how I did.
I think that covers everything. The Mackeys have arrived! I write more when we get some pics with them. (kw)
