I had a pretty good weekend at Nuvo. Friday night was our tap routine. It was awesome and we get High Gold. We also placed 1st for Tap Line, and won Best Nu Group (Nu doesn't mean new).
I was chosen by my teacher to pick up the awards...Here I am getting the High Gold tags.
Then yay, we got First Place overall for our category!
Best "Nu" Group!
Then Saturday, I had to be there at 7:30am to start classes...and I danced until 1pm. Did I mention that I got to skip Chinese school? Yeah! Mom and Dad and B picked me up and we went to each shanghai dumplings. We had a couple hours before Hip Hop, so we went to Dad's office to play ping pong and computer games. :) Then I got dressed for hip hop.
Ha ha. Mom calls these pants "lai see foo". Here, I have them hiked up...lol!
Okay, this is what I am supposed to look like...lai see foo and all.
Mom did my hair...with a product called Gorilla Snot. It actually works quite well, despite the disgusting name.
Saturday, we also had Breakout Artist Scholarship auditions. It was actually the 2nd class of the day. We learn a routine in 45 minutes and then perform it for the judges. I got chosen! I was actually a runner up...there are only about 10 winners per age group. Mom always tells me...if I don't remember the steps, no worries, just do something...anything. Just keep dancing. And that's what I did. Plus, Mom promised that if I got the scholarship to go to the workshops in NY...she would take me!!! In this photo, I'm on the far left, under that guy with his arms up....
On Sunday, after classes, there's a finale show. The kids that we chosen have their names announced as they dance down the center aisle. It's pretty nerve wracking...but I do what I can.
Here I go.....
After the show is over, the team takes a group picture. I'm chatting with the owner/director.
The team is pretty big!
