Kiersten's First Dance Competition!!

To say that Kiersten has LOVED being in Company this year at Dance would be a HUGE understatement! She so enjoys performing and when in company there are plenty of opportunities to perform!

Kiersten is in Premiers this year in Company.

This picture was at a variety show at the high school.

Isn't she gorgeous!

Kiersten had her first competition in April, down in Gilbert.

Her group did two dances.......a jazz dance and a tap dance.

They received High Gold for both of their dances. Jenny Rogers, the owner of the dance studio, said she has never had a beginning group in Company come to their first competition and get High Gold for both their dances. They also recieved a Judge's Award for their jazz dance......The Most Entertaining Award. So it was a big accomplishment for Kiersten and all her team. They really are a talented group of girls. I am really enjoying Kiersten's love of dance. This might be my only chance to have a girl in dance so I try to remember that when the schedule is hectic and the performances and extra practices seem to be endless.

We made it a girls weekend. The Shupe's came with us.........we enjoyed the competition, we shopped, we ate good food, we swam at the hotel and we laughed a lot! It was so much fun!

Kiersten I am so proud of you!

You always give your best and you always amaze me!

Thanks for letting me be your mom!
