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?!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!
