This week the SMSU Dance Team hosted a kids camp on Friday afternoon for kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. It is one of our biggest fundraisers for the year, and we have a lot of fun doing it! This time around we had a small group, part I think because it was a long weekend and people like to vacation on Presidents weekend. But none the less, we had a blast!! The girls come on Friday afternoon for two and a half hours to learn a dance and have a good time with the team. Then they come back on Saturday to perform the dance they learned at half time of the women's game. It is so much fun to see them out there having a blast and seeing the crowd cheer them on. They feel like they are apart of the team and it is awesome! They go through the whole game day experience with us, from warm-up in the studio to our sideline pep talk, and then performing. I totally wish that I had the opportunity to do this as a kid, I would have loved it.
Then at the men's game that evening, it was the last performance of 3 of our teammates as they will be graduating here in the spring. Such a sad moment as we walked off the court knowing that I will not get the chance to dance with them again as they are some awesome ladies and I will miss them so very much. I hate loosing such awesome dancers and people, but I know that they are all off to bigger and better things, but they all still better visit once and awhile! I can't help thinking how much of a wreck I am going to be next year around this time, as it will be my last performances too. I have been on a dance team since 7th grade, so to not be on one will be really weird and I don't like thinking about it much.
Senior Night! <3
I hope you all are doing wonderful!!
