So this one is a pretty special picture.

| Summer at Dance Olympus. Crazy Dance Kids! |
As you can see, there are a lot of people in this, and we're all young with a lot of make up on... That's because this was a picture from a dance competition/convention that we all attended. What's most special about this picture is that it's a combination of levels. My sister is to my left, and to my right was a fellow dancer who was a year or two older than I am. There are so many different faces that everyone is having, but the overall feel is happiness, and that's what dance has brought to my life since I started.
This was also a special year, because I believe this is from the summer that our dance "Manhunt" won top score, my sister and I got top score junior duo, I nailed the audition class and received a scholarship for the next year at the convention, and I made their coveted "VIP", which was the title for the honor of assisting teachers across the country. I never did go on the VIP tour, but the honor alone was incredible. I remember for the audition class going into the hotel gym with my teacher and practicing my turns for the combination we had to do. I also remember the massive bruises I gave myself on my knees for dropping to the floor.
I attended Dance Olympus for about 4 or 5 summers, and I have some truly amazing memories from it. It was a time to bond with my dance peers, get some extra dance time in, and often times it was the only vacation we had. It's also where the joke "THE OTHER SIDE" was started, which will pretty much mean nothing to most people who read this... But I will always have those memories.
And I still love every single one of these people in this picture, even if I don't talk to most of them anymore <3
