Maisie's first dance was scheduled for Wednesday 10th at 12.05. This was her duo with her friend Elicia. Both have only been together 5.5 months and qualified to be able to represent the country. They have trained hard and danced harder on the day of the comp! They were ranked 57th in Europe out of 87.
Thursday Maisie danced her solo in the Under 16s. Because I was unable to go, Maisie and I kept in contact over the phone. She was incredibly nervous and like me applies too much pressure on herself and then beats herself up afterwards when she feels she hasn't been successful, even thou she was amazing! Maisie was on the dance floor and the compair of the event was calling her and ended up cancelling her number! I was sat at work, on lunch, watching the live stream shouting at the screen that she was on the floor. I was a complete mess, sweaty palms, tearful and nothing I could do. However the hubster stepped in and told the dance teacher who sorted it out for her. Maisie 'smashed' her solo but unfortunately didn't make it to the next round. This is where Maisie doubted her abilities again! :-( Maisie was ranked 61st out of 103 dancers. Maisie was also in fact one of the younger dancers in her category and this is something wekeep reminding her of as there is still 3 years of her dancing in this category!!!
We as parents are so proud of her achievements and everything she does. We next have the Hip Hop International street Dance Competition in San Diego, USA during August where we as a family are all going to support her! Then off to Italy in October for the World Championships!!
What have you been up to recently???
