Do you have a favorite memory from class or performing?
My first class in silks 2. I was very nervous and very excited before, during and after class. I couldn't believe that we were inverting from a climb and doing drops! My world was rocked in the best way possible. I had a hard time sleeping that night because of all of the excitement.
