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
upstreamdownstream.org

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?!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
