1st practice, 2nd practice, birthday!

It’s my birthday today!!! =) I just turned 18 and now I can finally go to my first, technically the second, Dazzler practice. The first thing we did was run a mile…. Oh my gosh it was SOOOO hard for me, but I just kept going because I knew that if I did, it would eventually get easier and help me in the long run. It was killer for me to run like that on the street, in the sun, all of us in a line, but the fact that we were in a line and in unison helped me a lot to keep going. I didn’t want to hold up the line, or have people wait up for me so I just kept pushing until I finished. Afterwards, we stretched, did technique across the floor, and then finally started practicing the dance everyone learned… Yep, you heard right, the first day of Dazzlers the one team had already learned a WHOLE DANCE! The whole time, Winnie and I were playing catch up with the team, but nothing stopped us from getting the dance, not even practice. We stayed after for a little while making sure that we knew what the movements were so we looked just like everyone else. I mostly had to practice because it was my first time EVER dancing pom and kickline before. However, I LOVED IT! Both styles are so spirited that you can’t HELP but have fun with it and smile. The dance also had a little of jazz in it too, but I was used to jazz from before when I danced for my team in high school.
