November 23rd, 2019 Competition
Competition Number 5 was on November 23rd, 2019. This time my (dance) coach and I headed out to the middle of nowhere to get a second opinion. It was in Farnham. So legit an arena in the middle of the bush. Now, this week. I have been having severe pain with my knees. While I…
