The night of Teen Miss Dance of America was such an exciting evening/night! It started with Miss Grace coming to our room to do Jordan’s hair. And she did a FABULOUS job of it. Winner! 💯 ⭐️
After her hair was finished, Jordan spent about an hour or so doing her make-up. She’s got it down and always does such a beautiful job.
At about 6:15pm we headed down to the backstage area where all the contestants were assigned dressing room space. For the opening number in the competition all the female contestants needed to wear a plain black leotard of their choice, tan tights and tan Jazz shoes.. Here’s some of the girls milling around by the dressing rooms prior to the start of the night and the opening number.
And Jordan getting in the zone and rehearsing back stage.
And her sister came back to give her a pep talk and wish her well.
The opening number was really fabulous! 🔥 I can’t wait to get the video to see it again. After the opening number, each contestant was introduced in order of their contestant number. The title director read the contestant number, their name, along with their chapter number and it’s name as they went to the front of the stage to be recognized and then exited to get ready for competing their solos.
Since Jordan was contestant number 24 and the last one out of the girls to compete, as most of the girls were changing into their costumes and starting to stretch, she just wanted to chill with me backstage. I get so nervous watching the other contestants so I was fine hanging backstage with her, pass required.
Jordan was worried if she stretched too early her muscles would be cold & stiff by the time she went on stage for her solo. So…….we waited and waited and waited some more. It felt like forever but it was really more like an hour. Finally the time came for her to stretch and review her solo with her AirPods in to hear her music.
When there were about 10 numbers until her solo she finally got dressed in her costume. She looked so amazing in it. All the hours of stoning it with Swarovski crystals paid off cuz it looked gorgeous on stage.
When contestant 22 went on stage it was time for me to wish her luck and go into the audience to see her perform. I was SO nervous, but she was doing good.
Jordan went out there and owned the stage and just crushed it. One of the best times I have seen her dance. Brad and Zoe came out to tell her congratulations when she was done. We were so proud of her. And the family text group was blowing up with comments and congratulations! It was so wonderful that it was live streamed so the whole family could watch it.
The time finally came for awards and Jordan placed in the Top 10! She was so thrilled. The competition all week was so fierce in the Teen division, it was a huge accomplishment for her and acknowledgement of all her hard work preparing for this moment over the past year.
