Only two weeks left until BYU comp. We have all of our dances re-choreographed and made more competitive and fitting for our dance level. We recently made our four wall quickstep into an eight wall quickstep, just by doing the correct technique!! Our tango would be doing better if I could figure out how to make Scott stay low! He tends to rise up, and when I don't it looks weird. But I don't think that I should rise up with him just to match him, he should stay down! That has been a hot topic between us. Choreography is another hot topic between us, he is insistent on his way and I am insistent on another. We've had some seriously annoying fights the past two weeks. He has this new attitude that he knows everything ever since we started with Michael, and he got on the team. It annoys me beyond everything else!
If we can make it to the comp without killing each other, then I will call that an accomplishment!

Four weeks til BYU comp!
Only four weeks until our first comp of the season!!!! I'm getting really nervous... We haven't been doing rounds like we should for the past few weeks, when we tried to do quickstep more than once around the room Scott was really winded. I am concerned that we won't be able to do a continuous quickstep after doing other dances just before. I'm fairly certain that it won't be a big comp, so we probably won't have time between dances to catch our breath. Which really concerns me.
We got really great Tango technique on Tuesday, but we have the tendency to settle into our hips which looks really bad in Tango. So to encourage us to keep our hips up, Michael pinched us!!! It hurt!! and he said that if we don't keep them up he will do it again! I tried sooooo hard to keep them up, he did have to warn me once and he said he wouldn't warn me again that he'd just pinch. It does work, but it freaks me out a little.
Scott and I are both having to deal with aches and pains that come with bumping up technique and practices. It's difficult, but we can get through it i'm sure.
Competitions! Here we come!!!
