Tonight was Swing Club!...and Swing Team try outs! It was really fun! I was a bit nervous, just because I'm not very experienced. We did handstands against the wall (one of the lifts involves the girls doing handstands), which I rocked at - yay tumbling and gymnastics! I didn't do so hot on the jazz choreographied part, but not terrible. Then we did partner dancing, with switching partners every couple of minutes (which was good, since there were a lot more girls than guys). I've never done blues swing before, but I did ok, even if it was awkwardly NO personal bubble. And a lift, which turned out pretty well. After the jazz circle (think, people showing off at a stake dance, in the big circle...yeah. like that), which i went into once. I did a round-off back-handspring, just to see if I could. I could, if i did a step out. I think that earned me points. All in all, pretty good, I think. I'll know if I made the team on Saturday night or Monday sometime. I'll let you know!
Also, just as a side note, I was a sadly unpatriotic person today. I didn't watch any of the inaugeration. In my defense, I was on campus for about 14 hours. I'll watch some coverage of it sometime. :)

You are excused. I think perhaps it is not so important what happened at the inauguration but all that happens now afterwards.
I am so impressed at your dance stuff! Who'da thunk that anyone related to me, Andrew and Dad could dance well! Hope you're having a lot of fun with it!
yay! good job in dancing! and you can still do a round off back hand spring? holy cow!! i'm impressed
A round off back handspring on the hard floor. (Not wood, but I'm sure i'll be doing it there, next). I had to do a step out because I didn't have enough momentum. Luckily it looks cool with the step out.
