Aysia's second year of being on Westlake High School's Luxelle team was ready to kick off with the competition season. After tryouts in April, learning and practicing the choreography starts in June with approximately 15-18 hours of practices each week with only a 3 week moratorium in July when no practicing is allowed. It can be grueling, but Aysia rarely complains unless she in injured and even then, she usually just takes some pain medicine and sucks it up. Between her High school team and her dance team at Synergy, she usually averages 20-25 hours a week. Definitely not much time for a job with school work and squeezing in a social life.
Luxelle's character dance this year was "Thor", Westlake's mascot. It really was an incredible dance with retractible hammers used during the routine. The girls finished strong for all 3 of their dances (Dance, Show, Military) at their first 2 competitions in December. Mom is always there to support her and usually extra family members when they are available. They are fun competitions to watch and witness the creativity of all the dances from the other schools as well.
Aysia was also able to perform her solo at a few of the Drill Competitions this year. She definitely had some successful competitions. She has come so far with dancing and we love to watch her perform with her team or as a soloist. This years solo was performed to the music "Twilight Zone", considered Jazz/Open and was choreographed by Nolan Richter.
