This year's local competition will be held on February 8th. A link to the website and contestant profiles is here DYW Anderson County.
The program is based on 5 areas:
- Scholastic
- Interview
- Talent
- Fitness
- Self-Expression
The scholastic portion is based on your SAT scores, class ranking, and overall GPA.
The interview will be conducted earlier in the day as a sit down discussion with a panel of judges.
The talent only gives each participant 90 sec (cannot go over) to show off skills & abilities.
The fitness is a dance routine that all girls will perform together like a dance, showing endurance.
The self-expression is a knee-length dress with heels, stage presence, poise, and grace.
We all know which areas my daughter will excel, and which areas she has the most to work on. She doesn't wear makeup, and asked if heels are required. I'll keep you posted....
Tomorrow I have the priviledge of taking her shopping for a dress. She has already disliked the first 3 I found and texted to her phone. Anyone want to fly to SC and do this for me??? (please!)
