Dazzler of the Day!!

Our fourth practice of the year, I have to say was one of the hardest. A choreographer (Leo) came to teach us a hip-hop routine and he was awesome, but the routine was quick paced. It was basically an hour and a half of learning a cardio routine. His choreography was awesome but I was having trouble picking up on the small beats that he heard in the music and I didn't. It was a challenge because trying to listen for something that you can't hear is difficult. But anyway, I pushed myself through the practice and tried my hardest to pick up all the choreography, and in the end I did. I felt great the last time I performed the routine because I had accomplished something I didn't expect to. This practice taught me something important that I had not physically learned until now; if you set your mind to giving up, you will give up... but if you just tell yourself "keep going; don't stop," you'll get through it, and end up surprising yourself. At the end of practice we all huddled around Brenda for closing remarks and to my surprise she gave out two awards. One to Linette for being Dazzler of the Day, and the second to me! I was Rookie Dazzler of the Day, and I was ecstatic! It was great achieving something I hadn't expected to AND win a little gift for it! It was an hard practice with a great ending, and I felt very accomplished. :) That's it for now. :) Come back soon to read more about my rookie year as a DaZZLeR <3
