Dance Team Retreat

Every year the CLU dance team goes on a weekend retreat to work on the competition pieces. This year the retreat was in Valencia at one of the girls houses. We had a 7 hour practice on saturday, and a 5 hour practice on sunday. It was so exhausting. But we also had team bonding time, which was a lot of fun. We did a white elephant gift exchange one night, and went to California Pizza Kitchen the next. We also played a few other games and activities to get to know each other better. I think the retreat really helped me feel like part of the team. Since I joined late, I was struggling to learn the dances that they already knew quickly, and I really didn't know very many of the girls that well. But the retreat really helped me get to know them, and feel like I was really part of the team, and not just a replacement. I loved the retreat, even though the practices were excruciating. I'm really glad I'm a part of the CLU dance team.
