2023 Dance Nationals - Midwest Starz Dance Competition
The dance season is officially over!!! But man, Cora only has a short break until we start back up again!
But nationals was a blast... absolutely exhausting, but so fun too.
This year we were in Cedar Rapids - a little different, and much closer than the Dells, and we made the best of it. Unfortunately we weren't really close to a ton of food options, etc. So we had to DoorDash a lot, and that was expensive. But we survived!
Cora and I headed over early Wednesday morning... with plenty of time. Wednesday morning she danced her large groups and small group, they did well - SpongeBob actually made it to the showdown. So that was exciting for the Juniors!
Thursday was our 'free' day - so we just enjoyed time around the hotel. The girls swam, we drove to visit Monette, Gary, Shanna and baby Holland, so that was a fun little break! Then of course we watched as much dancing as we could.
Friday, Cora's trio danced... and we hung up that costume! I know that wasn't Cora's favorite, but they improved and did so well! But those costumes were itchy and tight!! Friday night was Production, and it blew the judges out! It was great!
Saturday was showdown day - the girls swam before starting their dance day... SpongeBob performed, and received 2nd in the showdown, and Production received 1st! It was a great ending to the season.
