Trapeze!
Recently, my family and I took a trip to Mexico. In Mexico there were various activities to do like tennis, sailing, and even trapeze. So every day I would go to the trapeze classes. On my birthday, December 30, the head of the circus asked me to do a trapeze show with him! I learned the whole entire piece in one hour the following day! He told me that the routine is usually taught in one week and when they go to perform the routine, the people freak out and don't do it. The trapeze I learned it on was not to high and I had a net, however the trapeze I performed it on was over a pool and concrete, had no net, and was so high! The WHOLE hotel was there to watch and I was super nervous but excited! I nailed the routine and everyone thought I was a member of the circus! It was the best way to bring in the new year.
Here is my video. Sorry it is taped sideways. My mom was nervous!

One of the members of the circus is moving to America and opening up a school this summer. He asked me to help open it with him! So now I take trapeze classes every weekend. My schedule is crazy with work, school, dance, and trapeze but I am taking it one day at a time :)
You are one brave young lady, I must say.
