The past month has gone by very fast I am down to the last 3 weeks until tryouts. I have made a lot of progress since I started but I still have a lot of work to do.
I am meeting with one of the girls who have been helping me tomorrow. Last week we worked on handstands and hip-hop. She was impressed when she taught me one of University of Cincinnati's old hip-hop dances and I picked up on it very fast. I do not like being upside down though, so handstands are a big challenge. She told me they do a lot of stunts and handstands in their dances, even some of the simple basketball performances, so that is a must when it comes to tryouts. There is one handstand that is more like a hip-hop stall, the only difference is your legs are bent and its more like rocking into it than staying in a full handstand with straight legs. She taught me how to do those and I have been practicing that. They are still very hard but a lot easier than a handstand.
I have also been working on flexibility. I will need to get my splits for kicks, leaps and other tricks the team will do next year.
