Dancin, Dancin, Dancin, I'm Dancing Machine!!!!

So recently, I decided to join the university's hip-hop dance squad, Unexposed Dance Squad. They are pretty awesome.

I have not seen them much this year, but freshman year I peeped them and their awesome dance moves out. I wanted to do this for many reasons:

1.)I love to dance
2.)I wanted to prove to myself I could dance choreography
3.)I desperately need to get involved around campus
4.)This would make me look more balance on a resume

Maybe those aren't the best reasons, but they're true. I've never danced choreo before though. I went into the first workshop Friday with a positive attitude. I impressed myself with how much I could do, but still needed to work on some stuff. I went back to my dorm and worked out the kinks. Today was a completely different story.

We learned a complete new dance (and auditions are definitely tomorrow) that was just for the guys. This dance has some more complex moves that, without exposure, seem pretty difficult to land. I was flailing about for the entire three hours of the workshop  (except for the small time we practiced the first dance). It got to the point where the vice president of the club sat me down. He was doing his best to be respectful and nice but he probably felt I didn't have what it takes. After explaining to him that I had no prior experience in dance, he said that my main issue was my execution... I know the moves... they just look sloppy.

After that I decided that wasn't even going to show up to the auditions. I was felling pretty low. But after a series of events I managed to host a practice session. Jade (a girl already on the team) and two other girls auditioning for the squad got together in my dorm and we went over the moves. The female dance is INTENSE!!!!(and soooo sexy)... but ours is pretty difficult too. A few guys auditioning passed through. And since one of the auditioning girls was cute we had quite an audience. I got my confidence back and realized how much fun I have when I'm dancing. We danced from 5 - 8 (after a 2-5 workshop) and I was so beat out afterwards. I'm gonna kill that first dance at the audition, and I need to get off this blog to finish practicing the other one...

Auditions begin at 2pm tomorrow.. wish me luck.. and keep me in your prayers
