It's that time of year again when we are performance crazy in the Hammer home! Once it hits early spring we have performances almost weekly until the middle of May. Between Jazz games, Conventions, competitions, and special performance we are busy!
The first performance this year (aside from Jazz games) was for Sophie up at a fundraiser in Tremonton. They performed their Starwars dance and it was awesome!!
I love that she's such a poser!
Next up was the Nuvo Convention I went to with Ayden. We were both really excited about his one because we know a lot of the teachers. Some were from SYTYCD and the director used to teach me at The Dance Club. It is an incredible convention and I'm glad we were a part of it! Ayden did so well, he even won a scholarship! All the scholarship finalists got to perform in the closing show.

He got to take class from Stacy Tookey, Travis Wall, Ivan, Ray Leeper, and Mark Meesmer. It was an incredible weekend!
We only had 6 days to recover before the madness started all other again! This weekend we had not 1 . . . but 2 competitions to attend! Logan took the girls (he's the man! by the way) down to Salt Lake for Sophie's Medallian Classic while I was in Ogden with Ayden at the Hollywood Vibe Convention/Competition.
Sophie's team competed both of their numbers . . . Starwars and Addams Family. Her team is a riot and they have the most incredible costumes this year.
They did are great job performing and they won Overall High Point the the mini category with their Addams Family dance!
At Hollywood Vibe Ayden got to take class from some great people like Ade and Melissa from SYTYCD as well as a bunch of other great teachers. He also won a scholarship at this convention and gets to come back next year for free! (that makes for a happy Mom!)
After taking class all morning they got ready to compete in the evening. Ayden's team only performed 1 of their numbers, a dance called "9 to 5". Ayden was really nervous but he did an incredible job and they also won Overall High Point in the Junior Group division!

His teacher told him she'd give him $5 if he kicked his head in his dance. He took that very literally.
It was a fun filled weekend and I'm so proud of my dancin kiddos for working so hard.
Love you guys!

Both of them are beautiful dancers, just like their Mom!
They really are good dancers, Mary. They are great kids besides that. Logan you are a great Dad to support them and take the girls by yourself to spend the day. Ayden really did kick his head. I had no idea he could kick that high. I never would have recognized Sophie in the Addams Family costume. Thanks for posting what they are doing. It is so nice that Ayden won the scholarships.
