UVU

UVU is now under our belt, as well as the debut performance of our new fox trot! As a whole the comp went pretty well. I could have wished to have been able to perform a little better, but it was a great learning experience and we have come away with a new found determination to train harder.

The alterations to my dress have worked out beautifully! I don't think we tripped on my dress once during the whole comp. I have decided to add more rhinestones as soon as I possibly can, I do love lots of bling!

My shin splints have pretty much disappeared within the past three weeks. My research into what causes them and good remedies and prevention methods have paid off. The combination of getting good walking shoes, as well as getting inserts for my ghillies seem to have really made the difference in how I walk and dance. Quick step is no longer a torturous dance because of my shin splints.

American Fork is this weekend, on my birthday, and I compete both Friday night and Saturday afternoon I believe. I am excited to compete again, I love competition more than anything else, but two days is going to be tough!

Hopefully I will have more pictures and better video soon. My new found goal for next year is to be confident enough to compete in Amateur Standard at Nationals!!!
