comps

omg comps are tomorrow i cant wait! im only in two dances but still its still a reason to perform.

but i dont get a dancers pass because i dont have solos though so i have to pay to get in :(

oh well never mind

but my sis got new costumes again and they're really pretty and she has finally got a tutu for her ballet! if you cant tell already im a bit hyper and have no reason to be putting this amount of smileys and exclamation points apart from i want to !! :):)

ok and this is just for people who are complete strangers to the dancing world i have grown up in and so that they know what I am going on about in later posts.... i am doing this because i think abyone is stupid or anything its just so that everyone knows what i am going on about because i tend to shorten words because i know them...




comps--- dance competitions were a couple of dance schools get together and compete against each other with troupes, solos, duets and trios... they compete to get the most awards as they can and the main goal is to win the supremes... you have to stop competing when you are about 21 i think

supremes--- the supreme championships... basically in dance comps its kind of like showing the other dance schools you can kick their butt easily and you get a sash and a trophy.... there are two supremes junior (for 11 and unders i think) and seniors (for over 11s)

troupes--- have to have more than 5 people in and can be most types of dance but the most common are tap, modern, ballet and song and dance

solos--- where the dancer dances on their own, there can be 7 types of dances tap, ballet, modern, character, national, acro, song and dance

duets--- 2 dancers performing together,, there can be the same dances as the solos

trios--- 3 dancers performing together.... again the same type of dances as with solos

dance pass--- a pass to show that the person is dancing in the show and not just trying to sneak in... this pass shows that you dont have to pay but you have to wear it all the time unless your performing :(

acro--- short for acrobatics which is like gymnastics but performed without the mats


i know most of them were obvious but i wanted to clear it all so that nobody was confused later on because i talk about this stuff a lot
