Don't let their smiles fool you - these girls are serious

Due to some unexpected health issues with my sister, we got to take Autumn to one of her Dance competitions. It's a pretty big deal for those of you not fortunate to have a girl (or even boy) in a troupe. That move, with the hands behind their back, is how they get out on to the floor - that and with a huge smile the head's up the whole way.


No, they're not just laying about - this is another move. They're up and down, flinging arms and legs and even hair that's been carefully fastened to their natural locks.



Honestly, I can't recall whether she got a little ahead or behind of her other students or just user error in operating the camera. In any case, she and her team won several awards, including best sportsmanship (or something just as slick sounding).


They really did great and were moving so fast, we struggled to keep up. Way to go Autumn - keep it up.

Is Autumn the one girl with her arm pointed out instead of up? (in the last picture)

Yes - We can't tell if she's ahead or behind but she's certainly dressed the part!
