i started dance when i was 5. i loved it. i took jazz, ballet, and tap, and i was ALWAYS dancing. at the studio, in my sleep, or just walking around i would be dancing or doing a routine or even choreographing my own routine in my head. people had expectation of me doing something great with dance at a pretty young age. i never walked out of a competition empty handed(and i’m not just talking about buying new dance gear at the competitions). seriously, there was a rush i always got on stage that i couldn’t get anywhere else. in the studio the girls that basically grew up there(me included…we spent more time there then we did awake at home) went by this motto…dance what you feel to the extent of which you feel it and you’ll never have to leave here in grief. it was true. why did i quit? i don’t just want to take classes again. i want to compete again. me and the girls at the studio always left home for the road at the same time, took all the same rest stops, and checked in at the hotel together then after a night of practice and partying we’d wake up early the next morning for breakfast together and check out the competition in the ballroom. i was stupid to leave something i had a natural talent for, especially since it came along with so much…a family of girls that i grew up with dancing…a confidence that couldn’t get shot down…and not to mention trophies that piled in every month from winning. ahhh i miss it so much!

haha kidding…but question…why?
i live in the desert where it’s 130 degrees summertime which would be like now.
camping in the desert is quite fun if you’re used to the weather, but if you’re not…then for your own sake bring buckets and buckets of water and portable fans or else you might just die. oh and you’ll probably need a crapload of bug spray and what not because they come by the dozen outside.

when i did this with my friends which wasn’t too complicated considering we just walked up by a mountain less than a mile away from our own houses and pitched tent. it was totally fun though.

tryouts are in a week and i’m so nervous. i haven’t had that much experience. the only “experience” i’ve had was playing in a volleyball tournament set up at school where a bunch of people who were interested could just enter and make up their own teams to play in the tourney…we took second. well i play around for fun at the park which got me thinking that i really want to try out for the team because i love volleyball even if i’ve never been on an actual volleyball team before. so yeah i hope i make it. i don’t know much about anyone else trying out because i’m just a freshman and i’m going to a different high school than everyone else i knew in middle school. so here’s to hoping i don’t make a fool out of myself, and i make the team.:]
