I was so excited to start choreography camp and learn our new dances. I was not sure how my team was going to be since I did not really know any of the other people, I only knew of them. The first dance we learned was our open dance. (Open is a style of dance) I really liked it from the start and I was getting so many nice parts. I was able to start talking with the other people too. We started learning our other dances as well and I just fell in love with all of them. I was pretty surprised since I actually was getting quite a few front and center spots. I did not really think the other girls and guy on my team really liked that though. I guess they did not know how I danced and how hard I work so they were all a little confused. After finishing camp I realized both my muscles were pulled and hurt like crazy. I was not sure what to do though since I wanted to show the teachers how dedicated and hardworking I am. I soon realized though I could not just ignore the pain so I had to still come to dance just nothing that had things with hamstring flexibility involved. I had to take physical therapy and I hated it so much it was what was best for my health. About four months my right hamstring recovered and my left one is still recovering at the moment. Anyways there are so many more dance stories I want to share here on my blog so stay here.

When I got into the studio I was pretty nervous but there were only a few people there for that summer camp. I knew most of these people too. The two I knew pretty well were on the same team as me when I was the age of ten. We started catching up with each other and it was really nice. Then we started class with this teacher named Mr. Corey. I did not really know him but he seemed really cool and like an amazing dance from his Instagram pictures. Once I was there and started dancing with them I felt like I was finally in my element again. The teacher seemed impressed with my turns which I was glad about. One of my muscles started hurting the second day of camp though and I realized I had pulled it. It really sucked because it was only the second day of camp. I still had fun though and I really loved having this teacher, after each day was over he let us get popsicles and we just chatted. Ater the two camps ended though I had to get really for choreography camp and I was really excited to learn my new dances.

So after the audition I had to wait for the groups to come and to see if I made competition team there. I was really hoping to go back on the team I used to be on because they were one of the most advanced groups in the studio. When I got the email I realized I did not make that team. It was kind of a bummer since I was really hoping to. The good thing was that I made a different team with my friend Daniella. I had still keep in touch with her even after I left. I was so excited to be dancing with her again but little did I know it seemed that leter she was going to forget about me. Anyways I was still looking forward to getting back into dance and working on my technique. To be quite honest I was not sure how my team was going to be like and if I was going to be able to make friends easily. I was still looking forward to choreography camp though. Before choreography camp though I signed up for some other dance summer camps there. I could not wait to go back to dance!

When my old dance teachers had looked up at me after handing the paper to them I did not know what they were going to think. To my surprise though they were so happy to see me and got up to hug me. I felt so happy that everyone there was so welcoming. During the audition I was so nervous since all eyes were on me since I was one of the new girls there. I did what I could do to the best of my ability. I tried very hard and later on we had to go in groups to do some other evaluations. While I was waiting I was catching up with the other girls which was nice and I was having so much fun. After the audition was over I could not have been more happy that I had auditioned.

There was a new dance studio that had been created with some of the teachers from Creative Dance Center and so many of my old dance friends went there. I really wanted to go there but I did no want to face all the people I had left. My biggest regret though was the fact that I had not stayed at my old dance studio. Everyone who was on my team improved so much and to be quite honest I was jealous. My team became the favorited group at the studio and got so many amazing dances. I was sick of this feeling of regret though. I decided I was going to go to that new studio called Axis Dance. I realized though that I had lost so much flexibility and skills. So, for the rest of the month and up to the audition date I practiced for the audition. When the day of the audition date came I was so nervous, mainly to see all the friends that I had left behind along with some of those teachers. I got there and a million thoughts started swirling round my mind. I was scared to see everyones reactions. When I got in there people started saying hi to me and were happy to see me. The part I was most anxious about was seeing my old teachers. I when I walked into the audition room I felt a chill go down my spine. I had an form I had to give to the teachers and I handed it to them on the desk my old teacher looked up and me and well her reaction was….(read my next blog to find out!)
