Thunderstruck

Last weekend, Issa competed at Thunderstruck, and boy did she have a great weekend!

None of us could believe how incredible tap looked:

 And look at my girl smiling as she taps:

 And looking fierce:

 Jazz won the judge's award for performance and synchronization, which is awesome:

 It's a fast dance, so the pictures weren't as great:

 Musical theater was fabulous! They are doing "Fathoms Below" from Little Mermaid, and Issa plays Grimsby, Eric's advisor:

 She really brings the character to life:

 And we think they are a good-looking bunch of raggedy sailors:

 Production has a school days theme this year:

 And her solo, well, I cried:

 Her strength:

 Her joy:

 Her poise:

 She's grown so much since her first solo:

 And I love watching her dance:

 And lyrical is still her favorite:

 She loves getting to do a lift:

And the studio was Top Studio for the weekend:

This weekend, she and I will head to Concord for Radix. She will only be taking classes this weekend, and I can't wait to see her do her thing!
