Congratulations, Miss Dancer!

Posted by Karoli in Parenting November 22nd, 2008

Happy Dancer!Now that DG has hit the magic teenage years, she prefers Miss Dancer to Dancergirl. So it shall be. :)

I’m writing this from Phoenix, where we have been since Thursday afternoon for the Western US Regional Championships for Irish Dance.

Yesterday, my girl tore up the stage in a big way. Pushed her placement to 17th (a ten-place jump from last year), and more importantly, brought her confidence to the stage — something that hasn’t always been easy for her to do. She got up there and left it all on the stage. I was (and am) a proud mama…she really worked hard and the smile on her face is all genuine.

Though she missed world qualification by 2 (!) places, she left the message that it would probably be the last time she’d do that.

So congratulations, Miss Dancer for a wonderful day and such a brilliant performance. :)

    wow...great job MD! Just showed LG & she said "she's gorgeous and who did her hair?" like I would know that. : )

    LOL. The hair is a wig...I used to curl her hair in spike rollers -- took 4 hours and had to do it two days ahead of the competition. We learned that wigs take a lot of the pain out of it. She thanks LG for the compliment, too!

    She sure is a cutie-pie, Karoli.

    Thanks to you all! Just catching up on the comments now, sent them over to her as well. It was the day she'd hoped she'd have for the last three years. Sweet when it finally comes.
