Celebrity Dance Competition Results

Hi All
WOW!!! What an amazing weekend for IDS!!! We were on fire Saturday and it showed big time and paid off big time as well. For those who are unfamiliar with the scoring system this is how it works:
Each dance itself is judged on how many points it gets, Platinum being the highest then High Gold, Gold, and Silver.

Then they take the highest points and give 1st, 2nd, 3rd in their STYLE category (Like Hip Hop, jazz, modern, etc.)
Then they take the entire age group with all style categories and give the overall awards of 1st overall, 2nd overall, 3rd overall.....this is the highest level you can achieve at Celebrity!

So with that being said hold on to your seats because IDS ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!

Sadie and Bayden got a High Gold and a 1st in category and 2nd overall!!!
