The competition was held at the Riverwind Casino. I am going to spare the readers my rant about second hand smoking,...knowing we should have gotten judged better and how tired I am of looking at girls of all ages wearing Victoria's Secret underwear, lingerie and swim suits as costumes...
Here are the results for Katharine's dances:
My Guy, tap Platinum and 1st runner up for National Champion - the girls also got to participate in the extreme dance challenge with this number and dare I say it, they kicked you know what!
Lay Your Head, lyrical Platinum
Wild Party, production Platinum and National Champion
With Chelsy and Rachel who are heading off to college in fall.
Katharine, Emma, Chelsy, Mattie, Madison, Rachel and Claire

I am so proud of all the girls and boys on the team of Sheena's Dance Academy. They have my utmost respect. They are such wonderful young men and ladies that dance from the heart, and with integrity without the need to flaunt their bodies on stage. They are setting an example and I belief that some of them have a bright career in dance ahead of them.
To Katharine, my wonderful dancer: You give me a gift every time you are on stage. I can see the beauty of you. Dance is your happy place. I am so proud of you!
To Erik: Thanks for giving up a lot of weekends this spring and watching at least 3 kids while Katharine was gone for competition.
To Kassidy: You are a little mascot of the team. Your easy going personality made it so easy to take you along on all the competitions! Good job singing "Wild Party."
To Lukas, Lennon and Keira: Thanks for supporting your big sister and cheering her on. She couldn't ask for more!
To the competition team: You have given Katharine the chance to form new and stronger friendships and given her the chance to grow as a dancer and person.
To the parents: Thanks for the new friends I found.
To Sheena, Anne, Angie and all the teachers: Thanks for giving Katharine and our family this opportunity. Thank you for teaching and challenging Katharine and helping her grow into the person she is supposed to be.
I want to end this post with two quotes by Martha Graham
Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
