Topic: Interview done with a student who participated in a high school DanceBlue mini marathon.
1. How (or why) did you first become involved in DanceBlue?
-I got involved because the first Dance Blue I attended at the University of Kentucky gave me chills, and anything that gives me chills has to be good.
2. What were you expecting from your first marathon? Did it live up to your expectations, if you had any?
-I was truly expecting sore feat, sweaty bodies, and plenty of smiles. Dance Blue met those expectations and gave me a few more for the next year; inspiration, lots of love, new dance moves, and more laughter packed into 6 hours.
3. How did you get involved with the DanceBlue committee? (If there is a high school committee that you’re on?)
-I helped teach some dances for our Dance Blue because I have spent so many summers teaching 9-13 year olds line dances at camp. The high schoolers had about the same level of awkward movements and twitches at first, however their more matured motor skills eventually kicked in.
4. Did you ever expect DanceBlue would grow to the size it is today at Catholic?
-Yes, I expected Dance Blue to be huge at Catholic because that's just what we do. We find a cause to fight (dance) for and we take every opportunity to expand it.
5. What’s some advice you would give to a first year marathoner.
-My advice: drink lots of water and smile every second. Open your heart to love, your ears to stories, and your eyes to the difference you're making.
6. Is there anything you would change about how DanceBlue is advertised or how the marathon is structured?
-No, why touch the most organic campaign based purely on the love of neighbors.
7. What’s your fondest memory from any DanceBlue marathon?
-I love the dances and the music always. I remember shouting every word to every Disney song they played with classmates while simultaneously wearing floppy Mickey Mouse ears.
8. Through DanceBlue did you build any lasting relationships you value? (i.e. Would DanceBlue be a good idea for individuals who aren’t terribly outgoing?)
-Yes, Dance Blue would be an incredible opportunity to meet amazing people and bond in such a way that is unforgettable.
