Yesterday I competed in Huntley, IL at Huntley High School. For me and my team, this isn't any regular competition. It was the organization TDI (Team Dance Illinois), so many things we had to change in our routine because they were illegal. The best part about this competition is that Huntley Dance Force is our biggest competitor, and this was their high school. We were very nervous, but we couldn't let our nerves get to us. Once we had performed pom, our coaches said we looked good, but Huntley looked better. We were almost positive they would win. We were against another team too, but they weren't very good. Next we did kick, and one of my coaches said it was the best she ever saw it! That made me feel really proud of myself and the rest of my team. Then, we had to get ready for jazz. We were also against Huntley and another team in jazz. We performed in jazz, but we've done it better before. Next awards came, and we were pretty excited. Music played over the speakers and we danced around like a bunch of lunatics. We started a conga line and walked around the whole gym! My mom look really long videos of our crazy dancing. Then, awards started and we became jittery. Our pom division came second. They announced third place... it was the team we didn't know. Next, second place. In my head the name Studio 22 High Tek played, but the judges had a different idea. Huntley Dance Force came in second! They announced us first and we went wild! We were screaming. jumping, and hugging each other!!! We could not contain our excitement. Mostly because they have beat us all year. We ended up getting last in jazz, but I wasn't upset because jazz just isn't our strength. I had too much fun and I can't wait until the next competition!
