WEEKS 4 AND 5 OF 24 ~ NOVEMBER AHH!

Well- November is living up to it's reputation! You like to think Turkey, and family, and pretty leaves on the trees; but we haven't had time to think about that stuff! Football is overlapping with basketball and nationals and finals...but its where we thrive. We've had some pivotal athletic moments within the past 2 weeks- a HUGE football win at home vs. Pittsburgh (#1 in the Big East), a HUGE women's basketball win at home vs. Baylor (#2 in the nation; UCONN continues 80-0 winning streak!), not to mention our men's soccer team is currently playing in the NCAA tournament!! It is a GREAT month to be a Husky!!

We've been having fun sitting on the sidelines at our basketball games, and we've started performing at a timeout each game. This is very exciting for our team. So far we've debuted the  "Breaking Dishes" dance from NDA camp. Up next- "Whip My Hair." We are very pumped for that!

SIDELINES!!!!



BEGINNING OF "BREAKING DISHES"

  Practices are few and far between, which means we are really stepping up the pace and intensity within our 2-hour window. We are coming together like a family should, and making it work! We did lose another team member, so we are at 15- but we plan to pull together like no other within these next few months. We're heading to Syracuse this weekend, and.............NATIONALS HIP HOP CHOREOGRAPHY!! Can you sense the excitement? Our music/concept/costume came together beautifully. It will be a very exciting moment to be able to perform it for the first time! But we must start on our cardio immediately :-/

We get to learn jazz from Kyle on the Dec. 4th weekend, and can't wait! We've got 6-7 different costume selections so far, but we're waiting to see the choreo until we make a final decision. So far, so good!! We're very proud and very pumped for what lies ahead!! Here are the quotes from the last 3 weeks...

WEEK 3 OF 24
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

WEEK 4 OF 24
“The difference between try and triumph is a little umph.”

WEEK 5 OF 24

“Don’t be better than everybody else. Be better than you ever thought you could be.”
