Dance Sport and Metal Exam

Last Week I competed in Dance Sport. It was a fantastic day. I got up early (about 7) to get ready and compete just after eight. First round I was super nervous, I was shaking like crazy! To make things even worse, right before I went on the floor I was caught wearing sequins. The funny thing is I remember reading sequence weren't allowed by didn't think much about it because I don't have really anything with sequences on it, and so what do I do? I wear the only shirt I have with sequence. After the first round I was sure we weren't going to make it to the second, but we did and so my partner and I booked it back to my apartment so I could change in time for the next round. I was literally in my apartment and out in about 3o seconds, but by the time we got back we missed our round, so we just jumped in to the next one, and low and behold we made it to the third round. In fact, with a bit of help finding the 2...3... counts we made it all the way to the quarter finals, where we had to come back to compete again at 6! I went home for two hours and came back to cheer on my teacher at 1:00. I didn't feel like going home and giving up a great front lot parking spot, and so we stayed after our teacher competed (who got first after only practicing with his partner a day! WOW!) until the professionals danced. My partner and I made the top 25. We were one round from having our teaching buying us ice-cream. Oh well, we celebrated with Jamba Juice instead. I was there literally ALL day. The energetic performance and lively steps were mesmerizing. I loved watching the Cadbury dance numbers were unbelievable with all the lifts. It was so cool when the lady spun around on the guy's head. I particularly enjoyed looking at the bright colors and styles of all the dresses. Everything was so sparkly and glamorous. I felt as though I was transported back in time or maybe onset to a dance scene of an old time movie. After those of us that were still there left to go to Applebee's for dinner. The whole day was fantastic!
