I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on. For it won’t be long til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

I can’t talk about what happened here.
*sigh* it’s our last week. We cannot believe it. We have been on the road for 11 weeks. It is craziness. Right now, I’m listening to Ana belt out that terrible Taylor Swift song about Romeo or whatever for the 743rd time, and honestly I’m gonna miss the mad [...]

So when team SW first starting blogging way back in January we often referenced constant dance parties at all events. While we were serious we didn’t realize what was to come. Without our planning or involvement dancing just seems to follow us wherever we go! Before we left Kelli worked the UCLA Danceathon. We set [...]
