Last competition of the season

We were up early Saturday morning (5:45am) to drive to South San Francisco for the last dance competition of the season. Tom was a very good sport and came with us so he could see her dance in person. It was a block schedule again, so the whole morning was dedicated to Dance Academy dances. We watched pretty much all of them, and it felt very similar to a recital, which we didn't have this year or last year because of covid. 

Here she is waiting to go inside. 

In between her routines, I made her pose with a couple of friends. 

At the end of all the performances, they brought all the dancers on stage to present some awards. 

After this ceremony, the group went into a large dressing room so honor the seniors that are headed to college next year.  

The studio owner made all the dancers lollypops.  Serafina said it was delicious. 

 The studio is moving locations this summer, so there are no summer camps. She'll be back at it again in August with eight hours a week of classes. It's intense but she's very happy doing it, and fortunately, the new studio is a bit closer to our house so it will be easier to shuttle her back and forth.
