AFE Tour 2009 and Showstoppers

Blast from the past! While I danced for the Chargers, I was one of thirteen girls chosen from the team to go on a tour for the Armed Forces Entertainment, and visit Army and Navel bases in Japan, Guam, and Hawaii. Above is a video from one of our performances that I hosted and got the audience to participate in a little pushup contest with an unexpected winner :)

 During this trip, we performed multiple times, taught master classes for the kids on the bases, had calendar and poster signings, and were taken on tours of the bases. Above, I have included a video of one of our performances on the Anderson Base in Guam, as well as below, a few photos taken during the trip.  In an overall sense, the trip was an unimaginably humbling experience but also a time of non-stop fun!

On to the Showstoppers competition I attended last weekend. I have never been so proud of my girls and for their first competition, all four of my dances did wonderfully! My youngest girls who performed Far Far look angelic and all the judges agreed! They received gold first for their dance. The next to perform was my soloist Mia dancing to Black Widow and she earned a Platinum First as well as 10th over all, work!! My third routine was That's Not My Name which got 4th overall and they looked fierce! Finally, my last dance to perform was Creator and those girls blew me away! They got Platinum First and the best remarks from the judges. YAY! Next competition is in two weeks and I cannot wait :)
