Last night we had our first ever solo preview night, and the girls were fabulous! A preview night is where we invite friends and family of our individual competitors (this year we have two soloists and a trio) to watch the girls dance before competition and give the dancers a chance to shake off their competition jitters.
We started off with a Jazz solo by 2nd Grader, Faith, to
9 to 5 by Dolly Parton. She wears an adorable little waitress costume, complete with tray, rag, sequins, hat, and lots of sass! Faith is so flexible and talented and I know she is going to be great this weekend!
Next up was Madison, also a 2nd Grader, she did a lyrical to a cover of
I Believe I Can Fly by Bianca Ryan. She wears a gorgeous sparkling blue dress. Her sweet spirit is really inspirational. Madi is a strong little dancer; from her leaps to her turns and her sweet smile, she gave us all the chills. I'm sure she'll win the judges hearts!
We wrapped things up with the character jazz trio by Alexa, Ansley, and Jayda that I have bragged so much about... it's to
Everybody Wants to Be a Cat by Psapp. These girls all have a furry leotard with little sequin and marabou accents. The costumes are just as slinky and sassy as the three dancers and their hard work has most definitely paid off. I am excited to see them shine this weekend.
I am so glad to have worked with these five girls and I am proud to take them to competition, they are such good representatives of Meize's Dance Studio. GOOD LUCK LADIES! We love you. :)
