Downtown Dance is Amazing!

Alli's last dance competition for the year was today, and I am still amazed at how good these girls are! We are so lucky to have such an awesome teacher who takes such good care of our girls. She teaches them precision, dedication, and how to be the best while still being modest. After going to these competitions and seeing some of the outfits other teams wear, the music they dance to, and the moves they do, I have come to really appreciate what Amy does.

Alli danced to "Rockstar" this year, with a supercute costume. Today was the competition in Idaho Falls, and Mom came to watch her. It was great to have her there for the 3 hours during which Downtown was performing so she could see what I've been talking about the last two years. She was very patient, especially considering this is not her kind of music that was blasting, and there were lots of little teeny-boppers doing their really cute dances that they didn't really know.(Always fun to watch for the first few, but after 20, you've kinda had it)
At all three competitions this year, every dance Downtown performed took 1st in their category, until today, when the Elite lyrical number took 2nd to a really great number. They have received awards for highest overall points, execution, technique, showmanship, and more. They're the best!
This is not a great picture of Alli, but they never turn out very well.
