2 weeks!

A little less than two weeks left until tryouts.

I am excited but nervous at the same time. Part of me really wants to make it because I have put a lot of work into this and I would want to continue dancing. The other part, though, thinks it may be very time consuming. I have heard freshman year of college is very hard and it would be hard to fit in practice time. I also know CCM has dance classes during the day on campus, so if I do not make the team I can always take a few classes instead. I think making the team would be a good experience, but I will not be too disappointed if I do not make it.

I am also nervous to see the competition. I wounder how many girls will be there and how many open spots there are on the team for new girls.


I have practice tonight with a girl who was on the team in the past. She is going to give me some last minute tips and show me how I will need to act at tryouts. She also told me I will need to start picking out what to wear at the tryout because they want everyone to look like a performer. I have a few outfit choices picked out already, she said she would help me find the best one to help me stand out.

I have been practicing my turns and leaps. I can do a really strong left leap and an okay leap on my right. my center leap has improved, my toe touches have gotten alot better, and I can do a clean double pirouette. When it comes to the handstands, I still can not do them, but I can do a few different hip-hop stalls. I have been practicing my fouettes alot too, on a good day I can do about 4 or 5 in a row, but other days I can't even do two. I am just hoping I am having a strong turn day the day of the tryouts.


I am very excited to finally get there and tryout for this team!
