Competition Dance Team - Hollywood Vibe Competition Results:
We took our Senior Trio & Ballet Quartet to Hollywood Vibe & had a blast!
In addition to the Competition Event, we enjoyed many excellent classes!
There were many fantastic teachers, but our favorite Stand Out Teachers were:
Tessandra Chavez - Contemporary Class:
A former teacher at this studio (friend of Daniel Marshalls), founder of Unity Dance Ensemble and choreographer for So You Think You Can Dance – her contemporary class was our overall favorite for the week-end. And she can still bust a move as we saw in the closing ceremonies.
Melissa Sandvig – Ballet:
Top 3 So You Think You Can Dance, Los Angeles Classical Ballet & Milwaukee Ballet
Roman Vasquez – Hip Hop:
Worked with Brittany Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson……etc….etc
We especially enjoyed watching Ade Obayomi (So You Think You Can Dance) and Melissa Sandvig perform one of their So You Think You Can Dance routines at the closing ceremonies! What a fun week-end and an excellent Kick-Off to our season!
Tracy's personal favorite memory of the trip….the bathroom stop on the way home where we couldn't find a parking space....saw the "El Palka"…Woooooooof!......and I scared the cashier in the Coffee Bean :) Best car ride home ever - Thanks to Miss Aliyah & her amazing sense of humor!
