Having both girls dance is a lot, but it was also pretty great. Of course, this was one of the only competitions they did together, but I thought it was going to be nice seeing them both at the same time. This one was nice at least. This was Pocatello.
The dance girls are a fun group. They are good to each other.
I proudly wore my Dance Mom shirt that I had purchased a couple years before and never really wore. I was ready to embrace it. But right off I messed up... I was there so early. I was at least 20 minutes earlier than their first dance was scheduled to start. The way this competition was run was different, they had two sets of judges who were judging different groups. So they were able to move faster, they didn't have to wait 3-5 minutes in between each dance for the judges to finish writing. But they also had the judges sitting on opposite sides of the gym, so basically every other dance faced the opposite direction. That spread out the people in the stands I guess. Anyway, I got there early and saw that some groups faced the other direction so I left all my stuff and went out of the gym in search of the schedule and someone to direct me. Well, they have people manning the doors making sure nobody is coming or going in the middle of a dance. I get it, that's important. But they shut the door just as I was seeing Kylee's team enter the floor. WAY EARLY! And I was shut out! I could have bullied my way in, but even if I had, I would've been behind them. So I would've had to go to the other side and bully my way in there and I just didn't bother. I knew there would be other competitions where I saw them perform military, but they hadn't performed it at any of the football games (we had seen all their other dances already). Anyway, I was super bummed. But also, it's hard to complain that the dance comp is running ahead of schedule. Though I will say MOST of the parents missed their child's first dance because of it.
Watching through the window from the back. Sad.
The Junior Knightline girls and the real Knightline girls supported each other. The older girls were mentors for the younger. It would be really cute if Kylee was actually nice to Sadie. I know she helped her a little with her hair, but for the most part it was her "big sister" or whoever else was being helpful that would help Sadie.
They came away with some awards!
