Why I Consider My Dance Team My Family

What being on a dance team in college means to me.

Why I Consider My Dance Team My Family

Ever since I got into college, I wanted to start dancing again. I had stopped dancing after middle school and since then I had missed it. It wasn't until my junior year, going into my senior year of high school, that I started dancing again. I realized how much I loved it when I was going to dance classes again and being able to express myself through movement.

When I first applied to Salisbury University, I looked at different clubs that I could join. When I went to Admitted Student's Day, the first group I saw was SU Poms. I thought they were so cool, and there was a possibility I could try it out. But when I moved in my freshmen year, I went to the Student Activities Fair and met the president of Untouchables Dance Inc. Since the start of my freshman year, I have been on Untouchables.

What I love about being apart of Untouchables is how much of a family we are. When I first joined, I was nervous, shy, I didn't know anyone and I was worried that I wouldn't like it. Now, I have met some amazing people who will most likely be a part of my life forever.

Another thing I love about Untouchables is the fact that I'm surrounded by other people who love dancing just as much as I do. Once we finish our performances for the semester, I miss my team members; we get so used to seeing each other more than twice a week.


Although there may be times where we could be at each other's throats or we want to end rehearsal so we all can go home, at the end of the day we wouldn't be a team without the remarkable team work and the love we all have for each other— and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.


I can't wait to start again with my team and create some new dances to share with everyone. Who we?!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
