We are renovating our kitchen. While we were gone on vacation they completed demolition. We came home to exposed walls and these precarious, and inspiring, dangling lights. So we danced.

What starts in August with choreography ends in June with DanceMakers Nationals and the last time they perform their routines of the season. Several routines took home Style High Scores including Let It Bump for Teen Hip Hop Extended Line, Ensnared for Senior Open Group, Money for Senior Hip Hop Line and Heatin’ Up for Senior Hip Hop Extended Line and Ensnared winning Performance of the Year. Lucas always comes into Nationals with nerves and expectations. His emotions swung from insecurity to validation and I am so proud of his resilience and what he was able to accomplish and prove to himself.

Ensnared, a Senior Open routine, won Overall Group High Score and was a Dance Again! recipient at DanceMakers regionals in Richmond. This was our first convention and competition of the season and the bar was set.
At our last convention and competition of the season, at DanceMakers Nationals, Ensnared competed in a field of over 1300 routines from 80 dance studios, was selected as a Dance Again! recipient to compete again against the 40 highest scoring routines of the week and won the grand prize of Performance of the Year!

This kid won a Team Vibe Scholarship, an Artistry Scholarship from David Moore, scored multiple Vibe Awards for his team routines and placed in the top 20 of Senior soloists out of over 100. But before all of that I enjoyed an uninterrupted 3 hour and 30 minute car ride listening to music and catching up with my son. And between all of that we both enjoyed countless laughs and celebrations with our dance family.
