Junior Miss Dance of America- Solo Title Talent Preview

This morning starts the competition. Up at 4a PT and had a good breakfast. 

Then started make-up

Next Miss Grace did her hair. 

Then headed down for the title holder orientation. 

Shely did the opening greeting. After a review of the rules and expectations they lined up according to their contestant number. Zoe is #11. 

Miss Grace gave Zoe a hug for good luck. 

Next all the Junior contestants had their orientation and they received their backpack, materials and information for the week. 

Now time to stretch and get ready for her talent preview. 

Few last minute tips and advice from Miss Shely along with a hug. 

Ok ready to go!  Will blog again later.
