Competitions and Dedications — Lindsay Anderson

As I positioned myself on the stage, I took a deep breath. I was both nervous and excited about dancing my solo. If I won, I would win the title of 2018 State Dance Soloist. That would truly be the most amazing thing ever! If I didn't, it would still be alright. I could still say that I competed at State.Before I knew what was happening the dedication recording that I had made two weeks ago began to play.My name is Elizabeth Calebs, and I am the Captain of the McCall Miners dance team in Denver, Colorado. I am dedicating this dance to Eli St. Thomas, a true hero.All of a sudden, the music began to play. Without wasting any time, I began to dance the dance that I had practiced a million times and knew by heart. Most importantly, however, I began to dance with my heart. After all, that was the only way to dance.
