MARCH 2018 UPDATE

Forget beaches and bathing suits, DFSC enjoyed the first half of spring break Hanover-style with team movie nights, excursions to West Lebanon, and of course, lots of skating in preparation for last weekend's Carnegie Cup. With a week to detox from the term, DFSC flew to Pittsburgh with enough energy to secure a top-three finish. 

The weekend began Friday with a strong practice session after landing in the Steel City, followed by a team dinner, letting everyone fuel up and get focused for the weekend’s performances. The first day of competition saw a huge turn-out from the Big Green, and not just because it was St. Patrick's Day! Darya Romanova '21 went undefeated, earning gold medals in Preliminary and Juvenile Dance. She later earned her third gold in Pre-Preliminary Freestyle. 

Our dancers, likewise, made an impressive showing. Every dance start DFSC entered earned points for the team! The day concluded with team maneuvers, where low team placed first and high team fourth. Following Saturday's competition, DFSC enjoyed team bonding in that special way only possible at competition - playing with face masks gifted from secret psychs, watching Vines, and learning that microwavable Skinny Pop does, in fact, exist!

The competition ended on Sunday, where Captain Jessie Anderson '18 skated a beautiful senior program to place fourth, Charlotte Kuller '20 earned second in Intermediate Free, and Alex Magnuson '19 won gold in Senior Champ. The University of Delaware won the weekend with 129 points, followed by Boston University with 118 points.
