Dance Competition

Since August, Elena and Kayla have been attending an Etiquette Class on Thursday nights taught by my friend's mother. As part of their Etiquette class, they've been taking Ballroom dancing lessons too. I've been taking Ballroom for about 1 1/2 years now along with my friend Samantha, so we've been helping with the class. Samantha's mom has been trained in Etiquette and Dance since she was young!
The class is geared toward middle school age and they've learned all sorts of stuff like how to escort a lady (the boys), set a table properly and also learn dances like the Merengue, Waltz, Salsa & Tango.
Tonight they had a competition to show off some of the dancing skills they have acquired during the class. Samantha and I got to be judges during the competition! (We both participated in a comp. last June, so we have *some* experience with this stuff.)

The top three couples!

Elena & Tyler placed 2nd!!

Kayla's partner didn't show up to the competition, so poor Kevin had to end up dancing twice! But I don't think he minded too much!

Kayla and her ribbon. She didn't end up placing in the top since she was nervous dancing with a new partner. But she still did really well and ended up a Winner anyways!
