It's That Time Again...

It's becoming something of an Octa-tradition around here.

The winter round of auditions and competition schedule for 2 of 8.

It gets a little crazy.

But I suppose anything that is a passion has a bit of crazy to it.

We worked on a few audition photographs this week, 2 of 8 twirling and hitting position and jumping and leaping.

Over and over and over.

Wanting to get just the right shot.

A lot like the art of dance itself.

Tremendous practice, repetition, adjustment, all in an effort to create a breathless moment for the audience.

  3. I am so excited for her. We are only at the studio two days a week this year. For that I am thankful. I think our competitions will be in April. That actually is pretty close when you think about it. Aaaaah! Best wishes on those endeavors and for your sanity.

  11. Breath-taking; hmm, that doesn't even seem to say enough. What a talent she has. Good luck to her! And, yes, the spring does bring lots of competitions, doesn't it? My son's music competitions just started in high gear last week, too; so not ready for this.............
