COMPETITIVE | Common Ground2012 VIBE 17 Dance Competition 

Guaranteed, I would not have been blessed with all the opportunities thus far had it not been for this team. Thank you CG for continuously teaching me the value of hard work, trusting me to be your coord, and giving me sanity when I had none. 
We’re a bunch of weirdos and I love that we take pride in such a quality.  
Edit———————-
Sometimes when I watch our private run throughs, I forget that it’s us dancing. That it’s me. I get so caught up in watching us just as dancers. And by the time I’m finished, I’ve grown speechless. Not because we were “sick” or the cleanest but because I’m left wondering how a group of young people can tell stories so genuinely like it was their own. Like they’ve lived through the very pain, happiness, and revelation we portrayed as performers. A set is never just a set for CG.

Sometimes I can’t believe I’m already here. New York day one was a complete success and now it’s time I rest for a long day tomorrow! 

Goodnight new york!
