Personal Narrative-Dance Force Studios Hip Hop Dogs

It was competition day, we had just competed and were heading to awards. We were against 11 teams, and were so nervous. We’re all crossing hands waiting then he announces we got 1st. We were so excited. We sit down, and wait for awards to finish. Towards the end they start announcing the judges favorite, the best costume, most crowd applause, and the overall winner.

We could only work for 2 months which isn’t a lot. We worked day and night to make us the best we could be. All of us were getting packed and ready to go to Summit.

When we arrived it was so much warmer there than in Chicago. We put our stuff in the rooms and went to practice.

We spent over 4 hours at practice outside. We went back to the rooms and went to bed. The next morning we got up at 5:30 am so we could do everyone’s hair and make-up. We got ready to go to the convention center, and listened to our music.
