#copc 2016

Here it is, my COPC 2016 routine. This thing was my baby for the past few months. I’m honored to have taken 3rd for the 3rd time in a row, the skill level of the competition this year was the real deal. 

Two things:

1. No, I do not intend to take any commissions for light up costumes. But yes, I do intend to write a blog post tutorial about it so you too can have a super sweet light up leotard. 

2. I did 50 run throughs of this routine. 50! Committing it so much to muscle memory was extremely beneficial for me and gave me the opportunity to focus a little more on the character performance all the way through. And yet, all that practice and still sometimes your body goes rogue and your feet have a mind of their own. Goddammit. Also 50 run throughs on one side does not a balanced body make. I am paying for it a little bit right now.
