This past week the SH dance team performed a "Bag Dance". This was the first time they have ever done this style of dancing. The bags they are encased in are a stretchy spandex type of material. Their vision is very limited and the fabric doesn't breathe so the girls get very hot in them. The dance coach told me that when they practiced they could only do it once. Then they had to take a break to catch their breath, cool down and drink a lot of water. She said they would get so sweaty (hhhmmmm....maybe I should consider wearing one of these when I go to the gym LOL).
For this performance, Ashley had to sit out. She was having her stomach pains and since we didn't know at that time what the cause was, we couldn't risk her causing more harm. Plus, she was uncomfortable enough that she didn't really feel like doing it anyhow.
In the pictures above, Chelsea is the 3rd bag from the right (purple) and in the center of the bottom photo. It was so much fun to watch and amazing what they did considering the limited mobility, and it was very entertaining. The crowd gave them a standing ovation when they were done. Too bad they couldn't see it. LOL
One of the moms video taped the dance and has put it on YouTube and I thought I'd share it with you here if you'd like to watch it:
