dance team essay

On the Saturday morning that the team was announced, I was wracked with fear. I was participating in a rehearsal for a dance competition with another team during the hours leading up to the time that the list was going to be posted.

friend Lyric and I decided that we wanted to try out for the competitive dance team at our studio. We had been in dance together for two years prior and we thought we were ready to try out.

When I entered high school, I was beyond eager to join the dance team. Unfortunately, it was not even the slightest of what I had expected it to be. We rarely performed and when we did, the feeling that I obtained exceeded embarrassment. I have danced since I was three years old, but it was so terribly draining, and not even in a physical way, that I considered

For instance, during the first three seasons I danced on the team, before competitions started, at least two girls quit each season, and some even quit multiple seasons because they remained unsatisfied with the same issues from past seasons.

I only opened up for a select few, but moving to North Carolina the summer before high school. I actually only tried out for Dance because my first high school friend was actually on the team.

One, Two Three.” “All in!” Our dance team shouted; the same cheer we yelled on the first day of practice. Our season had started in October and the theme of the year was America. This made me excited, considering my mom’s grandfather was in WW2, and my mom’s other grandfather was in the Korean War. Our song for our dance was

Our team sat in the hallway of our school, waiting for our name to be called to enter the gym. The pregame jitters were everywhere. Girls were bouncing up and down, fanning themselves and skittering around. I had a flood of emotions inside me. I was mostly excited but also quite nervous. What if my parents didn’t like the dance?
