Adjudication comments: Act was extremely well rehearsed. Content was appropriate for the age group involved and highly entertain...ing. Good energy and attack to your movements. Loved the variety of different staging choices. Beautiful control in leg mount! Great variety of steps to your choreography. Loved the effort with the extra lights on the side.
