I did it, I did NOT chicken out and actually tried out for #AftaShock on Friday. Attending the workshop last week sure helped especially since I had not danced in a couple of years and packing on a Mini Shock or maybe a small Mighty Shock memberโs weight extra thanks to the pand3mic. The music used was the same, so were the moves, but in reverse! Iโve never been an ambiturner in dance so it was definitely challenging to do the #choreography on the opposite side. . . Unlike Shock Army, all dancers auditioning for Afta Shock compete against each other and not just against people in their age range, which means I came into tryouts already expecting not to make it sense severely out of shape me canโt really compete against 25 year olds (Iโve been dancing longer than theyโve been alive). I got called back so I had to perform the piece a 3rd time for the judging panel so hopefully I die enough to make it, but if not, it was good cardio. Many thanks to fellow Shock Army alum Whitney whose energy and positivity was really supportive both during last weekโs workshop and Fridayโs tryouts. People like her really give Culture Shock the homey feeling & familiar, comfy vibe that I keep coming back to. I hope my body keeps holding up and that I can come back to dancing & dance more. Itโs good for the body and the mind. Yes, I wore ๐ leggings & the #kรคrlek #PinkPony shirt to auditions, because thatโs how this fangirl rolls. #lategram . . ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #CultureShockDanceCenter #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancetroupe #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ๐๐ป๐บ (at Culture Shock San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFm5BPvdxe/?utm_medium=tumblr
