After weeks of 6-days-a-week practices, we were able to qualify at the World Latin Dance Cup in Miami tonight :) Competing is definitely a different breed of performing. The panel of judges, the high calibre of other competitors from all over the world ... It's pretty amazing and inspiring and overwhelming all at the same time.
It's 5am Miami time. The rest of the team is asleep after a champagne hot tub celebration and I am about to hit the sack myself despite still having a nest of hairspray in my hair and faded bits of eyeliner that won't completely wash off.
I'm excited to finally sleep in. I'll need the sleep for a day of more practicing and fine tuning of our routine to prepare for semi-finals on Friday. Plan B (if we didn't qualify) would've been to enjoy just watching the semi-finals and finals while squeezing in beaches and mojitos and dances. And then there is the dessert after Plan A or B: my first NFL game on Sunday before heading back to our colder northern home.
Here's to my team: a bunch of beautiful and positive folks who continue to push and help each other in creative and crazy ways.
