We had a great time at ILHC last weekend. It was incredibly busy as always, but as competition coordinators, we enjoyed interacting with all of the competitors and being a part of this wonderful event. There are a ton of videos up on YouTube if you want to check out all the amazing competitions.
A special moment that stood out this year was Cyle & Alexis’ performance in the Junior division. We first met Cyle & Alexis a couple of years ago when, under the guidance of Valerie Salstrom in Cleveland, they first competed at ILHC. This past summer we had the pleasure of hosting them at Beantown Camp, which they attended as Frankie Foundation Ambassadors. It has been wonderful watching their progress, topped off by their 2nd place win! It was truly awesome seeing how natural, relaxed and confident they looked during their routine. Frankie would be very proud!
One funny note, Cyle told me he wished he had started dancing when he was younger, at 10 instead of the ripe old age of 12:-)
