JUMP

We spent the weekend at the Salt Palace Convention Center for the JUMP dance convention. The girls worked so hard. Brinlee got to come this time. She was enrolled in a jump start program which is three hours long with the intention of being a great way to expose them to a convention atmosphere. Brinlee did so good with several of the choreographers picking her out to show the class how to do things or just with a good job. She loved everything about it, especially meeting the choreographers. After the three hours were up she decided she wanted more. So we upgraded her to a mini and she joined Rachel's class. She did awesome. Rachel did great in her class, and worked so hard. At the end of the two days she was picked by Kim Swain as a runner up when she picked two girls that had worked the hardest for her. Kelsie also did great, the mother who was sitting in her room (I couldn't be in all three places at the same time) was so impressed with how much she has grown as a dancer this year. She said she was beautiful, I wish I could have seen that dance. I did watch a few of her classes, but not that one. At the end of the two days they had 80's hour and then a big extravaganza show, they had so much fun dressing up and I was blown away at the reminder of what I wore so long ago. Nick Lazzarini (the winner of the first So You Think You Can Dance) was the favorite choreographer by all three girls.
