What we used to do.....

Ok.....it's 8am and im fricken tired but no complaints I'm at work making the world an easier place to see...but after a long night of dancing with Christina its hard to not remember the times in our life that we spent every min of the day of every week doing something related to dancing...our heart, our soul, our legacy still stands at UC Riverside in the Evolution or Evo dance team. It's cool to see that its still exist and still competing, but kinda sad at the same time that none of them know how the team started and what it was all about in the beginning. Either way I did a bit of youDIGGing and found some of the CSA Evo performances and of course pulled out our AMAZING performance in 2001 just as comparison and nostalgia. Funny how i still think that the team hasn't really impressed me in the years following what we call "the golden years" but each team with its new members changes the style and the feeling of the team and with that creates a whole new personality and feel. I definetly feel we tended to do a lot of cutting edge stuff which you can still see derivitives of in the all-UC teams and that is pretty cool..

Either way with Ty coming back soon and maybe only doing the occasional flight to Canada EH? I am putting all of us on notice that practice will commence when he returns and if you thought step it up was hot....You ain't seen US yet!!!!

that's what "evolution" is all about. each team evolves and makes its own style. 2007 team had good choreo, sloppy, kind of had a baseline energy throughout the whole thing; kinda boring. 2006 team had a lot of the same heart and mindset of 2001 team, choreo was ok and again sloppy. i dunno if i'm just biased because it was our team and our performance that year, but we were friggin awesome! hehe. to the 2006 and 2007 team...one more time from the top and FULL OUT 5,6,7,8!!!

Is it just me or is the 2007 performance EXTREMELY sloppy? It hurts to watch it.
