Jump Dance Convention


 Last weekend was crazy! I took Friday off, but the girls went to school. We picked them up a little before noon and headed downtown. We checked into two beautiful rooms at the Hyatt. The girls got ready and we walked across the street to the convention center.
 Mariah's solo "Heartbreaker" was first. She looked amazing.
 The duos and trios were next Caeli does one to "New Soul" I love that song and dance.
 Mariah's trio is called "Call It Off". These girls are amazing. 

When they finished we went to dinner at Majerle's. We got back to the hotel and the girls got ready for the next day.

Classes started at 7 am the next morning. The girls were excited and enjoyed all the classes. Lori, Pam, Kianna and I went to breakfast and spent the morning at the pool.

 The girls had a lunch break and then afternoon classes. They ended at 2:45 and they quickly got ready for competition.
Caeli's Teen group performed "Lucky Strike"
 The Encore and Teens performed "Welcome To The Jungle"
 All the girls were animals. Caeli was a zebra.
 Mariah was a lion.
 Encore's hip-hop was to "Phone Mix"

The last dance (at 11:00 at night) was with Encore, Teen and Pre-teen companies. It is called "In Pieces". the girls were exhausted when they got back to the hotel. 

Sunday they had classes from 8 - 3:30. We were all glad to get home!
