Ballroom Competitions

 

Wyatt has been loving ballroom.  He's excited to be on the ballroom team this year.  They had a camp at the end of summer break and had their first competition a few days before school started.

His first competition was at BYU.  He only did one event, the cha cha.  These ballroom competitions are crazy.  There is so much hair gel and make up! Everyone is so good and very dramatic with their facial expressions and movements. 

Wyatt and his partner looked great! 

They got called back to the finals.  Wyatt was really happy about that.

They took 7th place.  Way to go Wyatt!

Here he is with the Shoreline team.  They have all become such good friends. Wyatt is always hanging out or on the phone with them.

Wyatt was very excited to place in his first competition.

Last weekend Wyatt had his second competition. 

He competed in the samba and cha cha.

They got called back for both of them.  He was very happy about that.  He said most of the kids competing have been in private companies for years.

They didn't place this competition. Wyatt spent the whole day there on Saturday.  He had fun hanging out with his friends. The competitions post the times for each event and they are very punctual.  It's nice that we know what time he will dance. His first dance was in the morning and his second one was in the evening.
