Janica in the spotlight

I can't leave Janica out and post videos only of Marissa. :) Unfortunately all of Janica's good dance videos are too big for blogger, so this is the only one I could get to fit. Look at how she has to compete against kids a lot bigger and older than she is! But, I'm proud of her because she made it to the finals in all of her events despite being one of the smallest kids out there. Way to go Janica!

Congratulations Marissa!

Last Friday and Saturday was a large Dancesport competition at BYU, the largest of the fall season. And I'm so proud of Marissa. She placed 1st in Junior Samba, 2nd in Youth Rumba (that's an age category older than she needs to compete in), and 4th in Junior Smooth. She was bummed because she didn't make it to the final in her Rhythm event, but they still danced well and I was proud of them. There were over 40-50 kids in some of these events, so you can see how well she did. Here's a little video of her Rumba (because her other videos are just a bit too big to upload to the blog!)
