I didn't place in my prelims like I had hoped but I made a lot of progress. I was able to conquer nerves and give it my all I could even if it wasn't perfect and worked on focusing more/executing my steps.
I found it easier to keep my eyes up and focus in general being on a raised stage so I'm hoping that'll carry over and help me at the O.
my warm-up routine has gotten a lot better, I never felt cold for any of the rounds or for my set dance comp.
little improvements :)
I don't know my placement from saturday but I struggled in my hard shoe and held back a little after seeing 2 girls fall hard in rounds before me but re-focused and decided no matter what, I wasn't going to hold back in my soft shoe. I felt determined and wanted each of my moves to look sharp and intentional.
Sunday, I felt more focused and aggressive even though I faltered on a few parts in my hard shoe. I also lost focus on the right foot of my 1st step in soft shoe and tried to bounce back as best as I could.
I want to work on getting my beats as loud as I can and aggressive as I can possibly can and just not holding back for soft shoe. it's all I'm going to focus on for the O. not getting a recall, just being able to give 110% and seeing where it gets me.
All that matters is that you do the best YOU can do. With how hard you've been working, you've already won. :)
