It was a nice big stage at Expressions Theatre and the boys had two dressing rooms to themselves which was a bonus.

It was a modern and tap competition, so no ballet this time and it will be a little while yet before he competes in tap.
They had a self choreography section which required a time limit of two minutes, Salem had wanted to do his acro dance "Safety Dance" but that was well over that time. So he choreographed a new acro dance "Cotton Eye Joe" for a bit of fun and performed it for the first time at these comps.
Hopefully he will get to perform it again.
He was a bit dissappointed with the Jazz Impromptu section as they played a very contemporary piece in which basically everyone danced contemporary while Salem, being the Aspie (Aspergers) that he is, only did jazz steps which was very, very hard with the choice of music. Well done him for keeping to the style!!!!
All in all it was a great weekend, just lot's of time spent travelling and getting home very late.
Public transport is pretty bad on the weekends especially when the trains are replaced by buses making for a very long journey indeed.
Hopefully he will get to perform it again.

Truffles was due for another performance so this time Salem entered "Robin Hood" in the Musical Theatre category so he sang while he danced. He was very nervous beforehand as he had never sung on stage but he had a real blast doing it and achieving a third placing was a bonus.
