We have always missed the Fourth of July Swing Convention, since we are usually in Utah, but this year the convention was the weekend after the 4th, so we were able to attend! It was Sara's first convention and she had a great time.
It was Tim's first time competing as an adult and also his last time before his mission.
One of the favorite parts for everyone is the social dancing in between and after the competitions. I love seeing the kids all dancing together, with Jessi and with total strangers. The West Coast Swing community is so kind to the kids and really looks out for them as well as helping them to learn and improve.
Susanna is so brave and will ask the champs to dance. She was killing it with this guy! They had a crowd watching them.
He kicked his foot up over her head in a twirl!
Everyone especially went crazy when they went down in to the splits together, all unplanned, just social dancing. It was pretty awesome!
Sara competed in the novice category and got a champ for her partner. They didn't place, but they did great, especially since she is such a beginner.
Tim and his partner did great too! They made it to the finals, but didn't place.
Daniel killed it in juniors. He and his partner got second place!
Heidi and our good friend Brandon Strong won first place!
Daniel was so cute about winning. He won $75 and then sweetly gave it to Pat and George for supporting him in dance and for all the time and money they have put into helping him progress.
We love Pat and George!
Thanks for bring the joy of West Coast Swing into our lives!
