DD got 2 3rds, a 4th & a 6th I guess that was worth 10 hours driving; but boy am I knackered!

[KatyMac]

She is asleep & has been asleep for ages. But I'm all worked up about driving in the fog

But I am proud of her

Yay. Well done your DD.

My DD gave up all her dancing in January - even her Ballroom! Am a little sad, but she has moved on to a stage school, where they are learning all aspects of stage craft, which is a good thing, imo. She is a belting little singer though.

She is rehearsing for Christmas shows at school, and her rendition of White Christmas has me blubbing.

Drive safe, slow and steady will get you home.

Well done, KatyMac's DD

Sorry I'm home now; I just have residual angst

It was worth going so far I guess; she has qualified for Blackpool

Can't imagine DD giving up dance, I can see her giving up theatre tho'

Glee is about to go next I think, but I could be wrong

& the 4th & 6th were dancing with a partner she had never met before

Oh well done katy .

Thanks

I do the boasting/proud/PFB thing so well don't I?

Starting to catch up on myself now

We were all exhausted last night

New photo of DD on my profile.....not this comp tho' it's from the last one

I had a feeling this would be you! Well done your DD

Ooh Katy your DD is gorgeous. What comp was she dancing in?

The one in the photo was Blackpool (National Finals) the one from this thread was in Castleford

Wow, well done
My dd has qualifiers for Blackpool (street) next weekend and i think I am more nervous than she is... she made it this year so hopefully will be Ok for next year too!

DD has qualified for next year (Blackpool finals for this year were only 2 weeks ago)

Well done to you both!

DS1 danced in Blackpool last year at the Nationals for IDTA Medallist of the year for Ballroom and Latin. He has also qualified for Ballroom for next year and DS1 and DS2 are both competing next Sunday. DS1 for his Latin qualifier and DS2 is doing his first Star Dance competition. I will be an emotional wreck next weekend.

Will they be in Blackpool at Easter? DD qualified IDTA's Blackpool in September
This comp was for ISTD's Blackpool

Yes DS1 will definately be in Blackpool at Easter, hoping DS2 will qualify on Sunday and be dancing their too.

there not their obviously

Should we have a MN meet-up?

Do you know any spare boy for DD....she is very good (PFBx1,000,000,000,000)

We haven't done IDTA before so we don't know the set up

DD appears to be doing 10 dances (is that normal?) & we don't know the dress code for IDTA either

Where are you based Katy? DS1 has only been dancing 2 years and did Blackpool this year for the first time so I'm not exactly hot on it myself (especially as DH and I both have 2 left feet!!) 10 dances is what DS1 did and there was no dress code for boys apart from no tail coats but not sure about girls. How old is your DD?

She is 14 (yesterday) & has been dancing a good while; but boys are like hens teeth and very valuable

DH being a dance teacher is a nice hook if we can find a partner for her (lessons are at venue cost & as often as they can manage)

But it's tricky

Whoops - we are in Norfolk

Katy I've been looking out for you. Does your DD still need dresses? There's a lady near Norwich who used to make ballroom and latin dresses professionally, she's retired now but would like to do 'the odd one'.

I think that's near you. If I've confused you with someone else, please forgive me.

OtterHumbjug - thanks so much for remembering I am near Norwich

But if you look on my profile, you will see the dress I made & hopefully it looks OK
