2/8-2/11/24 - USA Collegiate Dance Championships
This event was our second dance nationals competition of the year held in Anaheim. We commuted in private cars the morning of the competition on Saturday, and arrived to the hotel to unpack, get settled, and get ready in the hotel rooms. Once we were competition ready, we were able to walk to the competition area, warmup, and compete both of our routines late that night. We walked back to our hotel after competing that night, talked about our results together as a team, then went to sleep. Following day, we got competition ready and competed our two routines for the second and last time and waited for the awards. WE were acknowledged by so many teams with words of kindess.
The biggest highlight was when we made UCSD Dance Team history by achieving the win of 2nd place for the first time as a D1 UCSD dance team four our jazz piece. Our whole team was holding ahnds and praying before the award was announced and given, as we yelled, cried, and smiled for joy. The feeling of accomplishment with the entire team was the best feeling for this event.
