I made it onto the Collegiate Dance team!!!

Tonight were the auditions for the Collegiate World dance team from 6-9 (they actually only lasted from 6-8). We learned small chunks of a Scottish, Russian, and clogging dance and I've gotta tell ya, I wasn't exactly that great at performing them during all the times we performed in groups for the judges. I decided before I went into the audition that I probably wasn't going to be that phenomenal at dancing, so I was going to make up for it by being really expressive with my dancing. Apparently it worked because I made it onto the team!!! I was absolutely dreading the results because I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I also didn't want to disappoint myself in case I did get on the team.

That's one of the things I hate about competing to get on a team or being in a beauty pageant. The performing part is great, its the waiting for the judges to make their decision part that nearly kills me. Oh well, I was thrilled to get the congratulating email from the director, Jackie, saying that I made it. I'm really excited for these dances. I can tell right now that the clogging dance is going to be a blast and I'm looking forward to learning the rest of the Scottish and Russian dances. I love learning about different dances around the world. In fact, I'm actually not only on the World dance team now, but I also am taking a beginning world dance class as well. So yeah, I can officially say now that half of my classes I am taking right now are dance classes. :) Surprisingly, I am spending more time in the Kirkham than I am in the Hinckley this semester. lol Go figure!
