Judges Interviews and Auditions

This afternoon/evening was judges interviews and auditions in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary and acrobatics. Zoe is feeling great about how she did in everything.  So far so good. And Jordan, my little second grade trooper, held her own in the Petite auditions. I am so proud of both of the girls!

Stopped for the night. Tomorrow we plan to get to the hotel by noon. Zoe has to check in at 3:30p at Cal State Long Beach for orientation for Junior Miss Dance of Southern California.  Then she will have an interview with the judges followed by auditions in ballet, tap, jazz and acrobatics. Jordan, although not competing a solo, will also participate in the auditions in the Petite category. Hope they both sleep well tonight!  Until tomorrow...........
