Blackpool

We spent the entire month of May rehearsing every day in preparation to attend the Blackpool Dance Festival in Blackpool, England. I was on the Standard Medley Team and Travis was on the Latin Medley Team. Each team rehearsed a total of 3 hours each day. Since we moved to Pleasant Grove after school was out, and we only have one car, it meant we both were lucky enough to spend 6 hours a day in the Richards Building on campus. 3 hours dancing and 3 hours watching. However, in the end it was all worth it since both teams managed to take first place in their respective categories. The standard team took first out of 4 teams and the Latin team took first out of 8 teams. It was pretty exciting for us since the Blackpool Dance Festival is a BIG DEAL in the dance world. The theme for the standard medley was Americana and the Latin medley was Mystere (sort of a cirque du soleil idea).
