How Dancing Makes Me a Better Me!
We are nearing the end of a dancing year, and what a ride it has been. Entering a competition was a New Year's Resolution and a way to get out of my comfort zone. The following is my story, and what I have learnt... in no particular order nor grammatically correct. First I summoned up the courage to join our team at Waikato Champs. I entered DWAS (Dance With A Stranger) and at the second-to-last minute did Freestyle too. Competing in Intermediate A for a first timer like me was pretty daunting but I had fun. So I then went to Ceroc X in Rotorua to perform as part of our team again. At the last minute (i.e. on the day) I also did Freestyle. :) After finding out my twisted knee was okay and didn't need surgery I spontaneously entered and competed in Christchurch. Cold, cold, cold, but great music and atmosphere! Next, was East and South in Auckland. I knew what to expect by then, and had a great group of people to hang out with. Also, I made it into Semi-Finals
