Lainey and I traveled to Orlando, Florida this past weekend so she could compete at NYCDA, a convention/competition circuit that travels around the United States. It was so nice to see Lainey back on stage...she has missed it so much! She hasn't competed since last February...that's a long time when you're 12 years old. Anyway, we had a great time and enjoyed being back "in the game." :)

Photos from Lainey's solo called "Here we Stand." It was choreographed by the studio owner Brittany Lents; it's full of tricks, powerful moves, and it does a great job showcasing the fiery personality that she exhibits while performing. She loves it!
She earned a platinum level score and 8th place overall. She was very pleased!
She's borrowing this costume from a dancer friend - she loves it! It's so different than what she wore in Texas. I think she loves the sparkle.

Due to Covid, we left Sunday morning and chose to watch the awards virtually; it was wonderful! I didn't mind watching the awards from the comfort of our couch...it was awesome. Lainey ended up winning Junior Outstanding Dancer for the Junior Age Division; she was one of two girls chosen. She was THRILLED! It was such an honor and she was so excited to have been chosen! It basically allows her to take classes at this convention, NYCDA, for the next year tuition-free and she's been invited to perform her solo at Nationals. All in all, a great thing! Very proud of your hard work, Lainey Lou! You give 110% all the time (well, in dance...haha) and for that, we are very proud of you! :)
