Once the music started to play, she was entirely in the zone. She began singing “Dance Monkey” by the Tones and I. She started strong, and then she got better.
As the beat dropped, Annie broke out some swag dance moves. The crowd clapped along to the music. Sofia, Simon, and Howie joined in, putting their hands together to the beat.
