“Hold one‚ two‚ three‚ four‚ five‚ six‚ seven‚ eight. C’mon girls you look like crap! There is no way you will win a trophy if you suck at dancing.” Comments like this lead to laps around the basketball courts with our arms in a high V. This is how the coaches would treat us nine year olds at practice. As a child I felt like it was me who was in the wrong. So I would go home and practice until my parents would have to tell me to go to bed. Years after‚ I ventured off to a local dance company. This
