Dance Competition

There are many dance competitions throughout the year.

This one seemed to be the big grand daddy of them all!

It was way out in Phoenix and spanned between Friday night and Saturday.
They performed both their Tap CO and Academy pieces.  

We also had Olive with us since her parents were out of the country!

It was solo and duets Friday evening.

I was so tempted to get a hotel and just stay out there.

But we ended up making the trek back and forth. 

Saturday was a wing dinger as we left at the crack
 of dawn and got back before midnight!

Wowza. 

We set up camp backstage and made the best of it!

First place for Apple Tree!!!
The first time she has won money at these competitions!

Here are pictures from their professional photographers.
