Thank you to Nora for sending these photos from Chicago tonight. Scroll down to the post immediately below for all the results from today! Here is a note from Nora tonight:

"Today was another monumental day for NPIDA! Yesterday we had our first Nationals 8-Hand team compete AND place in the finals at Nationals in the 18 years that I have been teaching! Congratulations to our 8 U-11 dancers that made history yesterday by being the first to compete at this level and to make history by placing 5th overall in North America!  Today was another record-breaker when we had 5 dancers recall at Nationals in 1 day! In case you didn't know, we've only ever had 4 Nationals dancers recall in 1 year before this year's Chicago Nationals. As of today we are up to 10 recalls plus our 8-Hand team that will be taking home another 8 awards (medals) to show their friends and families in Vancouver!

Courtney and I are SOOOO proud of every one of our 21 dancers that have already competed so far in Chicago and yes.....we're absolutely AMAZED at what our dancers have accomplished so far at Nationals! Tomorrow we have another 10 dancers lined up to compete at the North American Championships. Tomorrow is the final day of competitions so good luck to our dancers and stay tuned for my next bit of news from Chicago!"
