this is Myla’s biggest ballroom competition of the year. Last week/weekend we spent nearly a solid three days at byu.

On Thursday Myla competed with her partner Ammon in the samba and paso doble’. This was their first time to compete both of these dances, completely new routines for them and they did great!

On Friday, Myla’s ballroom team from Center Stage also competed a latin medley in the preteen latin medley formation category. I didn’t get any pictures of this one.

Saturday, Myla and Ammon competed in the swing and did great! Myla was really frustrated when she didn’t get a first place, but in the final round {after about six rounds} they were off-beat with each other for the beginning 15 seconds or so.

Last weekend Myla & Ammon competed at the Provo H.S. ballroom competition. Recently all of the typical age divisions and ballroom dance categories have been shuffled around, most couples are making adjustments in their private rehearsals but because of this are not prepared.

Ballroom linguistics.

Anyhow, Myla and Ammon were only able to compete in the swing last weekend, but their age division started with approximately 20 couples and they placed 4th! woo-hoo! They both did such a great job!
