Competition Update

There was some confusion in my heat list so I only danced 19 heats instead of 21. Angie and I were listed in the same age group so she danced the Smooth Scholarship and I danced the Rhythm Scholarship. They didn't have my tango showcase on the schedule so I decided not to do it at all - I was too nervous. But overall I felt really good about my placements: 2 firsts; 2 thirds; and the rest were seconds. I competed against two ladies throughout the day who dance silver open and I still managed to get seconds! (Open means that they did some fancy tricks while I stuck to the silver syllabus.) At our last competition, I got a lot of thirds so I think I have improved even since September. :) In my last heat of the day - a bolero - I pulled a muscle in my back so this week I've seen the chiropractor and the massage therapist. But I think it's getting better. Unfortunatley, I won't get to go the Valentine dance this Saturday. I have to continue resting. I don't know which competition I will go to next, but it will be August or later. I have to do some more petsitting, etc to be able to pay for it!
