LoveJoyDance: Region Wars...lol

drewlovejoy:

Okay, this needs to stop and stop right now. This negativity is keeping you from reaching your potential as a dancer!! TBH, there are statistics showing the certain Regions have dancers with more titles, BUT that doesn’t mean that makes the Region better than another! All it means is that a dancer…

You are actually the most positive and upbeat person ever and so nice

TC told me tonight that my 2nd hornpipe was looking way better! I just need to fix one teeny little part, so I’m happy. One thing off my to-do list. Blackthorn was also looking pretty good, considering I did it three times, twice in my new heavies and once in my old ones. I still need to cross though. My reel is okay, needs work in second step (hop back, hitting my butt at the end). I need to keep focusing on making my jumps amazing, getting up on my toes, and pointing.

I’m super excited for this weekend though, because we’re going to Cape Cod. I won’t be able to dance, but it’ll be a good rest before I start really gearing up for NANs. Leggo Anaheim

Here’s to the best of irish dancing. The friendships, the laughter and the memories we will cherish for a lifetime. The friends we meet through dance are the people we will never forget. The girl who you talk to in math class, 5 years from now you probably won’t even remember her name. But the girls you trained with for hours, traveled hundreds of miles with, complained endlessly about soreness with, celebrated, commiserated, and goofed off with will be part of your life forever. The memories you have together you will cherish for the rest of your life. So for these last 46 days before nationals, lets all vow to dance for the thrill, for the opportunities it has given us, and the friendships we have developed because of this wonderful sport. Don’t dance because you have to, dance because you love everything dance has let you do, achieve, and become. Dance for you.

I REALLY REALLY REAAAAALLY DON’T WANT TO START ANY SO CALLED “REGION WAR.” I just want to put out a little reminder to please keep negative comments to yourself because they’re a bit hurtful. Southern Region dancers are always looked down upon and it not only sucks, it makes me feel like my hard work and my accomplishments aren’t worth as much as other dancers’. So please just keep this in mind. Thank you so much it really means a lot to me.

Please don’t put down other regions. It’s not only incredibly rude, but clearly very hurtful as well.

I’m loving all these inspirational posts about NANs. Come on guys, the time is now! Believe in yourself, we’ve all got this!! The Irish dance community is so amazing; it’s so great to see everyone supporting each other coming up to Nationals. Only a few more weeks now, let’s give it everything we’ve got <3

This Is Your Moment.: I can't wait to prove you all wrong.

Nationals is in 50 days. In 50 short days I will be receiving my award. At my first nationals I got 40, then 21, then 44. Dropping about 20 places was so disappointing. This year is going to be different. I’m not going to drop. I’m not going to die on stage. I’m not letting people mess with my…

This girl right here is one of my best friends. And in 47 days the two of us will be in California, in the best shape of our lives ready to shock the world. We are going to step on the stage in Anaheim and own every single moment. We have been working way to hard for anything else to happen. By this time in 47 days, both of our dreams will come true. Both of us will show you all that you CAN work you’re way up from the bottom and the dreams you thought would never come true are truly achievable. This summer, Molly aka Treblesdrumsandoversomy and Abby aka keepcalmtrebleon take on California. And we WILL come back with the ultimate success story. Two best friends whose dreams came true. Roll on Anaheim, I’m coming for you.
