I've always wanted to dance. I took ballet and jazz when i was little and last year i was a cheerleader. This year i was on our Poms/Dance team. It was great...i made tons of new friends and got do to do what i wanted. Our pom team is like a family. But then that family started to break up. Grades were in, and one freshman, Tiffany, got kicked off for bad grades. (2 major rules are C average and you can't play other sports that interfere with the dance season, which is basically the whole year.) And then another freshman, Kela, got kicked off b/c she tried juggling volleyball, basketball, and dance all at the same time. I am one of the dancers that everyone likes and wants to try harder to excel in my dancing. So when reports cards came out and i had an "F" my coach called my mom, crying, about not wanting to kick me off. Well she had to, and now i can't go to competition with them, and they only have 9 dancers. She's going to let me try out for next years team in April, and i wanted to know if you guys had anything i can learn to wow them. I have a bad balance prob. *lol* and can't nail my triple or foutees. I also need help on my switch leaps and center leaps, but i wanted to know if you had some more technique that could help out. Thanks a lot!!!

Idon't know if it's often that you make these grades but if it is try and get one of the girls to tutor you every now and then or even your coach if she ever has time after school I htink they would really have respect for that!!I also don't think you should wory about wowing them to much you seem like a pretty awesome team mate!I guess just keep your heart into it and stretch all summer so you don't loose it!!

I would suggest concentrating on your grades on not worrying so much about dance until after you've made the squad and your grades are up. It does no good to be the star of the team if you can't ever perform...

Our try-outs have been moved up to Late March, Early April. The only reason i am worried is because there will be a lot of competition for getting on the team b/c there is no seniors and only about 12 spots, maybe 14...and there s 9 vets (i was the 10th) so i wanted to impress the judges. You have to be a pretty good dancer to be on the team and i have a bad balance problem that hurts my triples and my foutees...HELP!!!
