A Bit of Stylez History

Stylez is going to perform at American Cancer Society's Relay for Life at The Ohio State University at Fred Beekman Park tomorrow. We're going to perform our Midwest Mix Up Round 1 and our SoulTime Round 1 dance routines.

We're holding our elections on Monday and our First Annual End of the Year Stylez Banquet at Brio on Wednesday. These are very important events for us. We've never had elections before or a banquet. You see, Stylez started two years ago and the leadership wasn't very good. The president was very controlling and dominating. He didn't start of that way, but he grew into a very domineering dance captain. The team almost feel apart at the end of its first year.

Stylez's second year was very rocky as well. The two team captains fought a lot, causing the team to have low morale and lack of energy. People could probably tell from our performances. At Midwest Mix Up last year, we did not make it past Round 1 because we were practically laughed off the stage. Once again the team fell apart at the end of the year. The president decided not to lead the dance group anymore.

Finally this year, we've had excellent leadership. We had four dance captains who worked very well with each other. We went to Monsters of Hip Hop in D.C. and won 2nd place at the Midwest Mix Up. All of these things, we have always wanted to do as well.

So you see, 2007-2008 school year has been the best year for Stylez ever. We've accomplished so much and (I know this is going to sound cheesy but it's true) a real Stylez family. The dancers are all friends with one another. We love to stay after practice and just hang out.

I could not have wished for a better year! :)
