First Competition - Jordan Beet Classic

On Saturday, December 17, 2011, was our first competition of the season - the Jordan Beet Classic Competition at Jordan High School. It was going to be a good competition as far as the schools that were going to be there in the 4A division. All of the schools in our region were going to be there as well as some top 4A contenders.

I wasn't sure how we would do--I felt prepared, but my team is very "young". We lost 10 seniors last year. Ten "good" seniors, the type you wish you could keep on your team forever. They were strong dancers and good leaders. They didn't ever give up and they were very hard workers! Anyway, I thought this first competition would probably just be a good eye-opener to my young team.

Well, we ended up doing very well! It was so exciting and very rewarding for the team! We ended up placing 1st in Hip Hop, 2nd in Dance, 2nd in Character, 3rd in Military and 4th in Lyrical. Here is the team with our awards:

We also had two girls place in the top 5 of the 4A/5A drill down. Kimber Creer placed 1st and Aubrey Finch placed 5th.

Congrats to the Elleves! We are continuing the winning tradition that was started just two years ago when the school was established. Our next competition is in January, now we have to work even harder!
