Ovation Dance Challenge 2017

13/4/2017

Dancing at Ovation Dance Competition was such a great and rewarding experience. Royal Dance Conservatory did very well and we all had an amazing time. I really liked this competition because it recognized lots of different dancers. It was refreshing compared to other competitions where you are seeing instead the same ones over and over.

I started off my first day of competition by waking up and doing my makeup. Then I hopped in the car to get to the competition. I got lost, but eventually arrived ready to compete. All of my routines were scheduled in one day. It was kind of nice but was definitely a super tiring. The day started off a little slow, but quickly escalated. I had lots of fun performing all my numbers and doing what I love. The time just flew by. One funny memory from that competition is when they announced my name as "Jim" instead of JM.

Awards were awesome and super fun. We did so well! We got two judge's choice awards, and placed several times! Even if we didn't, I would still be just as happy, because I know I tried my best and gave my all on the stage. I was so happy because I got one of the two judge's choice awards! I was so happy and tired that I had a mind-blank on stage and forgot who choreographed my dance! My friends had to yell out the choreographers name while I awkwardly stood there in silence. I will definitely never forget that funny moment!
During the 2 days, as usual, my teammates and I had some fun bonding time. We went out for dinner and just hung out at a team together at the hotel. That's one of the reasons why I love dancing at RDC. Our dance family is so close and has an amazing bond.

Overall Ovation Dance Competition was great and I would enjoy doing it again next year.

What Our Dancers Are Saying

Our daughter Hailey has been dancing at RDC for over 5 years now. We have watched her blossom from a shy little girl who was so nervous to dance to this incredibly confident performer. Miss Nicole, the studio director is so involved and you see how much she genuinely cares about the kids but also the studio. We look forward to many more years with RDC and recommend the studio to anyone who wants to be more than just a number.
