WHERE: University of Kentucky; Lexington, Kentucky

WHAT: Dance Team

HOW: “I practiced tricks and technique before the three day tryout in May. The tryout included performing three dances, trick tryouts, and an interview.”

BEST EXPERIENCE: “My best experience at UK on the dance team has been Big Blue Madness. It was an experience that many other people do not get the opportunity to do ever. I was backstage with the number one recruiting class in history for basketball. I was up close and personal with the women’s basketball team as well. And I performed for 24,000 people in Rupp Arena as well as being on ESPN.”

FAVORITE PART:  “My favorite part of being at UK is the school itself. It is perfect. There is nothing to complain about and I am having the time of my life and have the chance to do things that will last a lifetime.”

ADVICE: “I say go for it.  It’s one of the best experiences you ever have and even though it is hard to balance it looks good to be involved!”
