If you can't already tell by at least one of my blog postings is that I love to dance. Dancing is my passion and I won't ever want anything to happen that it would be suddenly taken away from me. Right now in my life my dance team and my fusion dance carroll competition team is the most important thing outside of school.
This year when my dance team went to state, our energy was high as well as our hopes. We danced our hearts out on that gym floor in front of our classmates, parents, and most importantly our coaches. We gave it all we have and we walked off the floor after our performance and all of us were out of breath, coughing and I wouldn't be lying if one of us threw up. Thats how hard we pushed our bodies. After our performances, we had to sit around and wait for awards.
The awards didn't go as well as we thought. Both of our dances had gotten division ones, which is great, but this is the first year our coaches went home without a trophy of any place. Then we looked at our scores and we realized that our kick score was higher then our hip hop. We barely got a division one in our hip hop. This was the second year in a row that the judges didn't like the style we took to compete. Last year they wanted girly and hard hitting hip hop, and this year they wanted clean and boring. The dances that beat us were good, but they lacked personality. They lacked what we had the most of.
Even though we didn't do as well as we wanted to this year, i'm still so proud of my team. We had a long year and our season is yet to come to an end. We spend two hours in the morning together and you never know what the day is going to be like but with our heart, soul, and passion we have for dance, everything will work out. It always does.
Below there is a link to our official dance team site where you can find out more about our team and even watch a couple past dances.
