I missed out on number 8 so I waited people out and got 18 for my @aftashocksd #audition I’m #superstitious & I need all the help I can get specially because I’m probably one of the oldest people trying out. Let’s hope it worked its magic 🙏🤞 #dancing #dancer #friday #lategram #weekend #aftashocksd #sandiego #aftashocksandiego #dancetroupe #hiphop https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQjoZdvYT0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I survived the #choreoproject whew! We had our final @aftashocksd rehearsal of the year last night. Not sure what the future holds for me - I definitely hope to keep dancing next year, but we’ll have a new director & I’m not sure I’ll pass auditions or if my body will hold up. Excited for our last performance tomorrow. I wish I had time to get a #dontbeugly #justgetout shirt made LOL Vegas, baby! I’ve been anxious because I haven’t flown since the C19 era started, but I couldn’t drive this time because of Norman… Looking forward to seeing the choreo project video. . . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #AftaShockSanDiego #CultureShockSanDiego #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #AftaShock #SanDiego 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 (at Culture Shock San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmTLetJO1sK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #StPatricksDay from @aftashocksd First time I’ve ever gone to dance class before rehearsal. I should’ve eaten my protein bar in between Sean’s class (flash mob choreo part 2) and Afta Shock rehearsal. I was really tired and hungry. Excited for the flash mob and upcoming performances. . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #AftaShockSanDiego #AftaShock #sandiego #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #concusseddancer #postconcussion #friday #weekend 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 (at Culture Shock San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6_PRlOCPH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight’s the night! @aftashocksd #auditions are happening tonight. I’m excited but also nervous & scared because there’s more #choreography to learn & I keep struggling w/ the 3rd set of 8 counts from last week. Wish me luck because I need it! #dancing #dancer #hiphop #dancetroupe #friday #wekeend #aftashocksd #aftashocksandiego https://www.instagram.com/p/CoOR0fIr6k6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#FBF to the last @aftashocksd #rehearsal of the Fall 2022 season (also when we filmed the choreo project vid). Excited & scared for tonight - we’ll get to meet the new directors & get a feel for the type of #choreography we’ll face at next week’s auditions. I’ve gained holiday weight & haven’t danced since December so I’m nervous for sure. I just went through ~4 hours of neuropsych testing for my #postconcussionsyndrome & I had headaches before, during, and after my appointment so I’m mentally drained. Hoped I’d get to nap, but that didn’t happen. Wish me luck! . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #AftaShockSanDiego #AftaShock #sandiego #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #dontbeugly #justgetout #flashbackfriday #friday #weekend 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 (at Culture Shock San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8L3LfJIEV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s #Friday Normally I’d be huffin & puffin sweating like crazy at #dancerehearsals right now. #FBF to the #HappyFeet award I got on the last rehearsal day of last season. @aftashocksd will have new directors this year. I’m nervous about the auditions & the unknowns, but also excited. The last six months have been really difficult and having dance as an outlet, while adding extra physical and mental loads to my life, has been a lifesaver at the same time. Nothing beats the endorphins I get from dance. I need to lose holiday weight and start training. . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #AftaShockSanDiego #AftaShock #sandiego #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #ShockFam #flashbackfriday #weekend 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGjlFSueju/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Recent #FBF to last week when I actually had enough courage to audition for #AftaShock Growing up in San Diego and being familiar w/ Culture Shock means it’s been a dream of mine to one day be good enough to make it to Afta Shock. When Afta Shock first went away and Shock Army started, I was too afraid to try out the first season and when I did gain enough courage to try out for season 2, I was out of shape and hella rusty. Inspired by Catriona Gray’s Miss Universe journey, I auditioned and made it to season 3. I made it for season 4 as well, but then the pand3mic started and Culture Shock itself shut down completely for some time. When Culture Shock came back, so did the troupes, including Afta Shock. I tried out in January and didn’t make it. I questioned whether or not I had it in me to try out again and if I was good enough to make it the second time around. I needed all the help I could get so I came armed (literally) with #bracelets that have historically proven themselves to be lucky for the owner of the matching sets and I held off until I could get a number that had an 8 in it because I was superstitious. #AftaShockSD #AftaShockSanDiego #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #fridays #friyays #weekend #flashbackfriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CheIHEtOi9I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My foot/ankle survived the #ProjectFX performance WOOT! I did a terrible job of taking pics so will have to depend on my teammates (I already yoinked the group pics Brit posted; waiting for our director’s pics 😬). Had to wear all 5 special bracelets today both to cover up the wristband entirely and for extra luck because of my own lower body injury. Note to self: please stop trying to just pull a fake half side split EVER! It’s not a good idea, you’re not 18 anymore. You either take forever to recover from an injury or you never fully recover (*cough metatarsalgia from cheer). . . Foundation, concealer & mascara - @ilmakiage Face primer, eyeshadow primer, eyeshadows, bronzer, lip gloss & setting spray - @urbandecay Blush - @narsissist Highlight - @juviasplace Contour - @kevynaucoin Translucent powder - @lauramercier Lip liner - @makeupforever Eyeliner & lashes - @kisslashes . . One of my #AftaShock teammates (Laurel) actually recommended #IlMakiage to me (she gave me a mascara before the WDO performance). I’m trying out their two foundations & one of their concealers right now. They recommend using it for an entire week to really see how it works on your face. I hardly ever wear makeup so the testing phase will likely run a month or so LOL. . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #saturday #weekend #sandiego #AftaShockSanDiego 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUyeBOOJ24/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#TBT to the @aftashocksd #ProjektFX performance last weekend. Glad my foot/ankle survived but TBH it’s still not 100%. I’m THIS close to buying black flats for an event I’m attending tomorrow because I’m iffy about whether or not my foot/ankle would survive any of my existing shoes, including wedges. The temperature dropping certainly hasn’t helped as the cold aggravates my metatarsalgia (old cheer wound). Haven’t seen video of the performance yet but once I see the link, I’ll be sure to share it. . . 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #fatdancer #AftaShock #dancing #performing #cardio #hiphop #progressnotperfection #dancerforlife #performer #dance #sore #everythinghurts #ibuprofenforbreakfast #geriatricdancer #newnormal #concusseddancer #postconcussion #AftaShockSanDiego #sandiego #dancetroupe 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckgdy0JpB_3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
