Try-outs at their new studio - Rhythm and Shoes

While we were in Panama City for the Gulf Coast Jam, the girls found out what teams they made at their new studio.  Taylor made an "apprentice" for the Senior Lyrical and Senior Hip Hop dance teams, and then made the Teen Jazz team with Addie.  Addie also made the Teen Hip Hop team.  Addie was super happy with her teams and placements, and to be expected, Taylor was very disappointed in hers.  It's tough for Taylor because she doesn't learn and comprehend very quickly which makes these types of try-outs difficult when they have to learn and try-out within the same hour.  However, she will have an opportunity to prove herself and get moved onto to the team, so that is her goal.
The sad pic Taylor sent to us once she got the results
