The tryout day

When I first started this project I thought the dance team at the University of Cincinnati would be very similar to my dance team in high school. This has been very intense so far, I did not realize how much I never learned how to do because I never took ballet or technique classes as a kid. Two months is not enough time to get all the technique done but I have been trying my best. I talked to a few people and found that JV is very similar to high school dance. I would want to make JV my first year if I make it at all. Varsity practices a lot more and get very intense around the competition time.

My friend just recently tried out for the dance team at Ohio State University. She told me all about the competition between the girls and what kind of people went. She told me about learning the dance and the tryout itself. She did not make the team, but she said it was a great experience and has no regrets. She told me that everyone that tried out looked like they could have been trying out for so you think you can dance. They were all really good and very serious about dance.

It all depends on who tries out this year, it could be a really good class or a not so good class of girls trying out. There is also a limited amount of people they can take on the team. My friend told me there was about 100-200 people that tried out the day she did. I am expecting about the same for UC.

I am starting to get very nervous about the tryout but I am also very excited. It will be a good experience whether or not I make it and I am very excited to see my competition!
