Jr Premier headed to Las Vegas in July for NaTiOnALs! This is the first time in history that Dance Illusion has taken teams to Nationals and Ella got to be a part of it. Me, Ella and Grandma Alley made a week of it. The best part- we didn't have to drive this time!
This was such an amazing trip. Yes, there was a TON of dancing. Ella had classes all day everyday. She got to work with the best dancers in the world. She got to perform "Blowing in the wind" one final time, and "Hip hop waltz" two more times. Her team was broken hearted over being done. She got to fly with her best friend Mia and spend a whole week with all her dance friends.
I loved watching Ella, Mia and Ava play "the floor is lava" as we walked through the casinos. I loved watching Ella teach my mom how to ballroom dance. I loved that our family back home spent one evening together watching Ella perform on TV. I loved spending a week with my 2 girls.

My mom and I got pedicures which was the best thing ever. I felt relaxed and unstressed for the first time, pretty much as long as I can remember. We stayed at the Red Rock hotel which was beyond fancy. The pool, yep, it was amazing. On our time away from dance we went to the strip, went shopping, played games, swam, ate way too much food and watched fireworks from the pool on the 4th of July.
