Actually, this was a first for all of us- we've never had anyone in ballroom before now, and I've never been to a ballroom competition. It was interesting- and lots of fun! I sat up on the very top row of bleachers in the balcony, so I could nurse the baby if I needed to, so my pictures aren't the best, but you can still see how cute the kids are. Here is Ethan with his cute partner Jessica:
and yes, his shirt is untucked. What can I say- I try.
Ethan and Jessica danced the tango for their specialty dance, and then drew foxtrot for the second round. They did great!
When it was all over, their team won a gold ribbon (that means they get to go on to the next competition at UVU in February), and Grovecrest won the sportsmanship trophy! You can see it in the middle of the scrum of kids in this picture- it's taller than most of them!
Ethan really came away with a good feeling about ballroom. When he told me last summer that he wanted to sign up I was a little skeptical, but it has been the best thing- he loves it, and he is doing great!
