What fun we had at the American Nationals in Philadelphia

(Read our report here, but for now here's some piccies!)

This is the World famous Liberty Bell
which is housed in Philadelphia
and symbolises Freedom for America
and the American people.
can you see the big crack in the side?
You'll notice it was part of the Logo for the event too!

They may be Rivals but they are always best Friends too!
Izzy Yorke - McGahan Lees
Siobhan Amos - McCamphill Godfrey
Both winning a trophy and feeling pleased with themselves!
(even the trophy was a copy of the Liberty bell!)

Girls love to win!

The McGahan Lees did well, and Frances is delighted!

Izzy appears to have forgotten to take off her shower cap!

On our last night we went to the
Hard Rock cafe logo
and we met some interesting people.....

The girls join in the fun for Grease

Grease is the word

wella, wella, wella, woo, tell me more, tell me more

keep talking, oh keep talking

What's this, Greased Lightning?

Now it's time for the Young Man to get down to the Y M C A!

(so have Aaron Crosbie and Frances McGahan
confused their YMCA with their ADCRG??)

Aaron Crosbie goes wild

Aaron proving that at a certain age all men begin to Dad dance!
now how does it go.......Y....M.....C.....A.....

YMCA

And this group of Dad's show just how bad it can get!
Is any dancer brave enough to claim these men as their Dad?
