was great to see everyone again! i liked how they had level 4-6 on one day and then level 8-10 on the other, while competing all three routines on one day is a long day, its nice to get it over and done with rather htan have to lose the entire weekend. loved saul and emmas routine, i was cracking up laughing!! so funny!! well done to them lyns trios looked really clean and neat, im thinking of the level 9 ones that are teeny tiny (they won i think) that top is just divine!! caringbah l9 trio had some mad cool skills, good to see them being so inventive! lisas trio deserve a gold star for their performance. their routines were outstanding, but also the way they handled themselves showed experience and maturity. the fact that they could still do flawless dance without music is impressive, to keep time so well reflects on their strong artistry. personally tho its a shame, cuz the routine is defiantly better with music :D was really weird how all the music stuff ups occured tho....all the girls had burnt their music at the same time yet the player would randomly not play one track. a suggestion someone made...each club should have like an ipod or mp3 player with all the clubs music on it, then they just connect the ipod to the speakers :D very technological! it seemed like alot of ppl were missing...not sure why but it just felt like quite a few familiar faces werent on the floor (shelby, bianca, sarah, etc) but it was good to see them at least there still supproting their freinds!! --Previous Message-- : I think Karl looked better with last years : partner this one is clearly too tall and big : for him. I didn't mind their balance routine : but tempo was a little scary and the dance : was a bit immature. : : Definately good to see boys in the sport : though- great to see David Crank back from a : long time off. Him and freya had a pretty : bad day but you could see that they could : get things together by the next trial. : : --Previous Message-- : I have to say the level of acrobatics has : picked up since the last competition. Great : to see more guys in the sport ....even : though they need just a few more dance : lessons. Saul was awesome and his top has : improved out of sight! We need more routines : that make you sit up and watch like Sauls : routine and the L10 girls from Gladesville. : Karl and his partner looked good and A for : effort for them. : : --Previous Message-- : --There was definately one standout- the : trio : of Lisa Alison and Eliza. While their tempo : is not all the way there yet their balance : was awesome and my God they can dance. Their : routines were ammazing. They also win : hands-down for leotards of the day. The : purple one was devine! : There was also a really nice pink one a trio : wore but I have no idea who they were. I've : always loved the green and black one from : Gladesville and I think it was worn by : Lucia's trio yesterday- that one is great. : Worst leo also goes to Gladesville with the : trio who continue to wear long armed : unitards with mis-matched colours that the : top didn't even fit into- not a fan. : : I thought one of the best routines of the : day was the MX from Gosford in level 7 Emma : and Saul(?) they just danced it up and while : their skills weren't particularly good they : looked like they had a good time which was : more than what I could say for most groups. : The Carringbah trio looked better this time : as did the trio from Lyn's with the tiny top : but the best trio routines I thought came : from the trio with the twins. So in time and : nice use of music. Good job to them. : : There were so many falls yesterday but : hopefully that will improve in the next 3 : weeks and then even moreso for state. It was : possibly the longest weekend in history but : at least next time there wont be any lower : levels. Not looking forward to state though. : Next year PLEASE can we separate the comps- : make lower levels later or earlier in the : year or something. These long weekends are : so hard on the coaches and families with : more than one competitor, not to mention the : judges. : : --Previous Message-- : considering this was most peoples first : competition i think everyone did well there : were some extreamly high scores for this : time of the year and there is still room for : improvement on some of them. there were also : some low scores but mnost of those were due : to falls... : i think especially due to worlds being early : next year the competitions this year will be : very very close with a high standard making : it interesting to watch. i dont think there : were any real big standouts on the day... : : --Previous Message-- : Just wanted to find out how the sports acro : trilas went over the weekend and what the : good and not so good ponts of the comp were. : : Who did you like, what were the leotards and : music like? what stood out? : : Hope every one went well bye : : : : : : : : :
