did u lose your music 

[TwinzMom02]

@ehissong70 no, the sound system was having a problem, and when the bass of her music started it caused the system to mute the music.

did u lose your there

[TwinzMom02]

@ehissong70 She was competitng for a title, so no award was given unless you were in the top 4, she ranked in the top 10, but there were alot of other elements other than just this performance that went into the overall score, like classes and interview, so it wasn't that cut and dry. I don't remember exactly where she ranked because it was 3 years ago, but I want to say she was up against some 21 other soloists. So by being in the top 10, we were proud of her!! :)

So great that she kept going! That happened to me and my tap group just recently and we did the same thing, kept going because we were taught from the time we were very young to keep going no matter what. :) She's amazing!

[TwinzMom02]

@beautifuldancer very sorry I didn't reply to you sooner... I'm usually good about that... must have gotten past me. LOL Thank you for your comment! It does happen and it is very good to be prepared... I was thankful she didn't stop, because this was her first ever stage performance without her team mates with her on stage. So, we were very proud of her!!

[TwinzMom02]

@Gymnasticseverywhere Thank you, she learned alot that night, and she got a standing ovation from the crowd for it. Even though it wasn't the best dance of the night, she percevered and that was what really counted!

[TwinzMom02]

@LLDancer28 Thank you for sticking up for her! It was sweet of you. People don't always realize, if you are gonna post something negative, you could just not and keep it to yourself. The child in this video likes to read her comments, and that comment could have been left unsaid.
