This was Cael's second year on the ballroom dance team, although last year was such a weird "covid" restriction year-- there weren't any shows throughout the year and half of their practices were "online". It really was a difficult thing to see any progress until they were able to practice in-person. The final performance really was so impressive, even though the dancers had to wear masks the entire time. By the end of the show the kids were sucking air from all the cardio they were doing. Poor Cael had the worst mask-acne from dance :( I got emotional at the end of their performance thinking about everything they had done to practice and pull it off. I was touched by their hard work and dedication.
This year was so fun- a fast and furious 8 week season (compared to an all-year season) and I know that the team had a fabulous time on their week-long tour down in Arizona. All the adults that I spoke with said how great it was- there was no drama- everyone just having fun and cheering each other on. What a great group to be a part of! During the final show intermission, they played a slideshow with all of the great photos they took on the trip and playing some music. I had to tell myself "get back in there, tear!"
I'm sure there were some funny moments on the trip as well... but since I didn't go as an adult chaperone I don't know what they are.. sad.
Towards the end of their final performance show they brought out the seniors and gave them each a bouquet of flowers. Cael got some light pink roses and they smell quite lovely on our kitchen counter.
It is crazy that this is an end of the dance era for- Cael's senior year is coming to a close and graduation will be here before we know it!
