Off season

So after our tour Trey and I got home mid July knowing we would have the rest of July and all of august to take advantage of no competitions and a lot of free time so this is what I have been up to besides teaching lessons and relaxing. Since the air in Utah is so thin we have a lot of advantage to build stamina and endurance. We go one day in the studio where we do three rounds Semely style which is Rumba rumba rumba, cha cha cha cha cha cha, samba samba samba, paso paso paso, and jive jive jive.... Usually with a few minutes to breath before we begin the next round of a different dance. Then we will spend 40 minutes working on our details and addressing anything that felt off in our rounds. Then we stretch and call it a day. The following day we will focus on other aspects that help our dancing. I go to the track and run and Trey bikes, I do yoga and Trey lifts. Besides that I make sure I always have a full bottle of water on me through out the day and that I am eating lots of vegetable and fruit. Embassy will be our first comp back and in the meantime we have lessons with Shirley Ballis and Sammy Stopford to help us look good :)
