competition numero uno.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO , long day of competing :)

so this weekend is the first competition of the season and so far it's going well!

we started friday (last) night with our lyrical group, down to the river to pray. it went well though my hair kept getting in my damn face the entire time! :( we got an emerald and second. the only reason we lost to the first group though is because they got penis points. =S

today i started with my tap solo. i got 5 out of 8 people. i thought i did better to be honest but who knows.

then we had ballet which was fun. it's character ballet and we were dressed as ninjas in black and gold and black and red. we got DIAMOND for that and we weren't against anyone. :D it was awessommeee. it was so amazing because we didn't think we did that well and also usually judges H-A-T-E character ballet and they mark it horribly. one year we had this awesome number called Zoonotic where we had sick costumes and amazing choreography and the judges faild us at competitions because they were jealous of our rad skills.

THEN we had my favorite number, in the basement. so this dance has a history. we're against another group from our studio that is made up of new people. they have our old choreographer as well and therefore some of the same choreography from last year. though we're perfectly civil and good friends with one another, there's unspoken MAJOR competition between the dances. our dance is in a red skimpy fringe outfit and we have pony tails ON TOP OF OUR HEADS and poofs. their dance is in fishnets and a black and gold one piece. so basically, we won and got emerald (though our head of studio said that we had to be majorly close to getting a diamond) and they got second and emerald. we also got a special away though and the judge said:
       "where are all the girls from In The Basement? *insert us screaming here* i saved you for last for a reason. oh. my. god. were you girls on fire! i gave you the burning up the dance floor award because you had so much energy and you attacked every movement and gave everything your all!"
        so we were pretty jazzed. :) it was funny though, before we went onstage we were all so hyper and jumping around and someone from the other group leaned in and whispered to their friend, 'we're screwed'. :D it made me laugh.

so that's it! more to come tomorrow!
