Well, I'm new to blogging so let's see how this goes....


I'm going to show you guys some pictures of when I was on my high school's ballroom dance team and give a description about what the events were.
The team name is ELEMENT Ballroom Dance Team. It has a combination of all three high schools in the Nampa School District: Columbia, Nampa, and Skyview.


This was the first year I was on ELEMENT. We were doing a rumba and a cha cha, in the form of a music box. We were basically all dolls, our faces had rosy cheeks on them (though the guys refused to do that part). This was at Columbia High School's annual Winter Ball. It's somewhat around Christmas time.


Now those white dresses may look pretty...but they were the worst costumes we had, even the coach agreed to it. Why? Because those dresses were see-through and to avoid having everyone see what's underneath we had to wear layers: white spaghetti straps or t-shirts, and either white leggings or tights. They were not fun! I dislike those dresses immensely.


 Here, one of the girls was trying to get onto her partner's shoulder. She was supposed to look like those little dancers that pop up when you open a music box...I can't remember if she made it up there or not...hmmm....
Our little circle...not much to say about that one...I think it was towards the end of the performance so we were almost done.














This was at Make-A-Wish. The girl we were there for had a really bad disease (I can't remember what it was =/ ), and her one wish was to go to Disneyland to see all of the princesses. So we all dressed up and gave her a performance she'd never forget!








 Here's me and my partner. I was supposed to be Sleeping Beauty....and there's that horrible white dress again. I wore that dress basically all year, and I was the only one who had to wear it after our Christmas performance.
















This was at the Red Lion Hotel down in Boise. It was one of our first performances of the year. It's a mix of foxtrot, samba, and tango.


Hope you guys like it!
