Our first big competition of the year was the Antwerp Diamond Cup in Belgium. A rule change this year permitted younger dancers to compete in our age category, and this would be our first look at them. They looked and danced like dancers in the adult category, and the bar had been noticeably raised. it was a strong field of 62, and we fought thru 4 rounds to finish 11th. We were very happy and proud of our placing to be in such great company.
