Kingwood Strutters - Babe Platinum

Marlie had such a wonderful year on her Strutter team. She made the Babe Platinum team again this year and had Mrs. Jordan again as her instructor. She was blessed to be on a team with a group of sweet and very talented girls. 

Marlie did 3 team dances this year, plus one team/elite dance.  My 2 favorite dances were their jazz dance - Lights, Camera, Action and their small group open dance - Bathing Beauties. Both dances placed 1st at Nationals. Some of my favorite pics this year are from their jazz dance. Marlie does a ring leap in this dance and I'm so thankful we had several people capture this in action! 
Bathing Beauties is a group of about half of the team. Mrs. Jordan did an amazing job with the choreography and costumes. The girls had SO much fun doing this dance and I loved watching it over and over! The girls are competing with this dance at Elite Nationals in early July so I will post a video after. 
Marlie got picked to do a solo for their lyrical and she was SUPER exited about that! This dance, America the Beautiful, placed 2nd at Nationals. What I loved about this dance is watching the girls expressions which are much different than their other dances. They all looked so sweet. 
Last but not least was their novelty to Jet Set! This dance too was so fun and another crowd favorite.  They all looked cute in their flight attendant costumes. They placed 2nd at Nationals. Yes that is a giant airplane as their prop!
I love watching Marlie dance but she loves all the silly moments with her friends. I just love all these girls!
Next year Marlie will graduate to the junior team which is 4th-6th graders! I can't thank Mrs. Jordan enough for all the time, love and patience she gave these girls. It was a great year!
