Evelyn did Ballroom dance team with her friend, Rose, this year. She says she likes it and likes being with Rose, but she says she probably won't do it again next year. This is their Jr High team. They split the team into three teams to compete with about 100+ couples at UVU this last week. Their most experienced team got first place in teams. Evelyn's got bronze ribbons. They did amazing. It was fun watching them.

This is Evelyn's partner, Jacob. He and his sister have a couple year's experience. Evelyn felt like she was holding him back, but I think they did well together. Poor girl woke up with a terrible allergy reaction. She gets them every spring and the timing just lined up. Her eyes were all swollen and her left cheek. We gave her Claritin and Benadryl and sent her to have fun. We also changed her bedding, showered her and washed all her jackets. Tis the season.
They danced the Rumba... then they danced the Cha-Cha (the MC pulled it out of a hat and all the couples participated in that one). After that, all the guys had to ask a different girl to dance from a different team. The kid that asked Evelyn to dance got third in the Cha-Cha individual competition. He was very good.
These were all three of our boys... They were all giggling and playing pinball together.
Here's the kid she didn't know.
Her and Rose got to dance by each other for a minute.
Evelyn and Jacob competed in the individual competition for Swing and Cha-Cha. There were over 100 couples. They made it up to the last 24.
