"The Big Jig" on TLC Tonight

As posted here on September 28, "The Big Jig" documentary following 5 American dancers as they prepare for the 2012 World Championships will air on TLC tonight at 10:00pm. Nora has received a press release promoting the show; here is some additional information about the dancers who will portrayed in the show:

Grace (10): Grace is known as the Energizer Bunny to her friends, is a regional champion and rising star - when she’s focused. Her coach... believes she can bring it, but worries her erratic energy may ruin her chances.

Julia (11): Julia channels Rocky Balboa in her training regime, complete with raw eggs and push ups. Her confidence, however, was shaken by a foot injury, and a minor sprain days before the Championships could throw her off her game.

Emily (10): Emily is Julia’s younger sister and her biggest rival. Emily is a three‐time national champion but has never been to a world-level competition. When her mother’s attention is torn between the sisters’overlapping performances, Emily’s  nerves start to show.

Marina (12): Marina competes not only for herself, but her family name, heading into her first World competition. As the niece of Michael “Lord of the Dance” Flatley, Marina feels pressure from peers and family to be a winner.

Julia (12): Julia is a former World Champion and renowned for her immaculate footwork. At her last championship, however, a broken foot sabotaged her performance. Julia wants nothing more than to stand at the top of the podium once more.
