After months of preparation that included fundraising, learning the dance, and getting a passport, the moment the All-Americans were waiting for was finally here! Time to march, cheer and dance in the 2012 London New Year's Day Parade! The All-Americans were split into three different dance routines based on what group they were in this week. They either danced to Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or Black Eyed Peas. The parade started at 12pm sharp!
According to the official parade website, London's New Year's Day Parade 2012 is the FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT in a year of celebrations to mark Her Majesty QUEEN ELIZABETH II's DIAMOND JUBILEE. London's New Year's Day Parade 2012 is also the FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT in London's 2012 OLYMPIC YEAR.
Here's a look at what happened during the parade:
