Week 8: UCSC Beginners Was Super Fun! Classes and Practice as Usual

Happy Week 8!

Monday Classes

Latin & Standard: 7:30 – 9:30 pm

Saturday Practice

1 – 3 pm

The team was at Santa Cruz on Saturday for the season’s first competition! (See pictures below.) Our beginners did incredibly well—so many finals, podiums, and rumor has it Manuel and Iza may have swept Latin 👀. We’re so proud of everyone who stepped onto the floor :). For those who missed it and want to compete, don’t worry—there will be more competitions coming up!

Thank you to everyone who competed, came along, and supported the team. You brought so much energy and encouragement to the day, and it was wonderful to see all your hard work in class come together! Beginners, we will debrief with coaches 😈.
