Dance

Alexis' audition for the TinyCo dance team didn't go very well. I noticed that most parents went to the studio for the audition, but Alexis did hers virtually. She just wasn't focused. She was goofing off and not listening. At the end of it, I thought for sure she'd blown her audition, so imagine my surprise when I got an email saying that she'd made the team!

Alexis has dance practice 3 hours a week. On Tuesdays, she gets 2 hours of modern dance, one hour with Miss Ashley (her combo teacher from last year) and one hour with Miss Emily. Then on Wednesdays, she gets one hour of accro (tumbling) with Miss Betsy.

There are 8 girls on the team: Alexis, Addie, Everly, Isa, Juniper, Mackenzie, Maggie, and Violet. Juniper and Alexis clicked right off the bat. We quickly found out that they're also members of the church, which is super cool. They've had many playdates. Everly and Alexis also clicked, but not in the same way. Both of Everly's parents work, so she goes to preschool all day every day. Because of that, they've only been able to have 2 playdates so far. 

Each year, they assign a Dance Buddy. It's someone to watch out for on competition days. Alexis was assigned Violet and vice versa. She was kind of bummed that it wasn't Juniper, but I think all the girls on the team are great.
