1
00:00:00,250 --> 00:00:01,500
Whitney Houston called.

2
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,541
She does want to dance with somebody,
and it's probably Nora.

3
00:00:04,958 --> 00:00:07,041
First year on the dance team?

4
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:08,166
No problem.

5
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,958
In this episode,
she talks about the tryouts,

6
00:00:10,958 --> 00:00:13,958
the wins,
and what dance has taught her so far.

7
00:00:14,125 --> 00:00:17,125
Enjoy the show.

8
00:00:28,875 --> 00:00:31,875
Nora, thanks for coming on Hootworthy.

9
00:00:32,208 --> 00:00:34,583
Thank you for inviting me.
Glad you're here.

10
00:00:34,583 --> 00:00:37,583
But what is one song

11
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:42,833
that if you hear it,
you just got to break out in dance?

12
00:00:42,916 --> 00:00:45,958
Any Taylor Swift song. I am a huge Swifty.

13
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:49,208
So if Taylor Swift song
comes on on the grocery store

14
00:00:49,208 --> 00:00:51,708
wherever
I have to start dancing and singing.

15
00:00:51,708 --> 00:00:54,333
I should have known big Swifty.

16
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:55,250
I am a huge.

17
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:55,916
Just kidding.

18
00:00:55,916 --> 00:00:58,916
Not not me, but hey, I guess you know.

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
But if you

20
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:05,333
invented a dance move,

21
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:08,416
okay,
you could come up with any dance move.

22
00:01:10,083 --> 00:01:12,041
It's a signature move.

23
00:01:12,041 --> 00:01:15,041
You know, similar to, who knows?

24
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:17,625
Any dance moves
I could think of? Whatever.

25
00:01:17,625 --> 00:01:19,708
But the Macarena. Here we go.

26
00:01:19,708 --> 00:01:22,708
I thought of one,
but what do you think it would be?

27
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:24,958
And what do you think it would be called?

28
00:01:24,958 --> 00:01:27,541
Would you go with, like, calling it
the Nora,

29
00:01:27,541 --> 00:01:30,250
or are we talking about something, 
something different?

30
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:31,666
Oh, definitely the Nora.

31
00:01:31,666 --> 00:01:33,708
I think would have a lot of jazz hands.

32
00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:37,791
And maybe, maybe a little lift involved
where somebody gets thrown in the air.

33
00:01:37,958 --> 00:01:39,541
Yeah. I love lifts.

34
00:01:39,541 --> 00:01:42,166
Someone gets thrown in the air? Yes.

35
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:43,916
Do they have to get caught?

36
00:01:43,916 --> 00:01:45,625
Or can they just throw them in the air?

37
00:01:45,625 --> 00:01:48,750
I mean, depending on how sturdy they are,
I mean, if they're okay with getting

38
00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:49,916
some bruises, they can land.

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,125
But. Toss them up.

40
00:01:53,125 --> 00:01:54,000
Yeah.

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,500
So really, like, we're talking, like,
the scene from, like,

42
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,083
Dirty Dancing with, like, Patrick Swayze
and stuff that lift in the air, the twirl.

43
00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:02,333
Awesome.

44
00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:04,958
So you started dancing

45
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:08,416
in fourth grade,
and you did it just for fun.

46
00:02:08,458 --> 00:02:09,041
Fourth grade.

47
00:02:09,041 --> 00:02:12,041
But now you're on a competition team.

48
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:15,291
What made you say,

49
00:02:15,291 --> 00:02:17,125
I want to take this to the next level?

50
00:02:17,125 --> 00:02:18,958
No more fun, Nora.

51
00:02:18,958 --> 00:02:20,583
Competition Nora.

52
00:02:20,583 --> 00:02:21,833
I think just my love

53
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:25,250
and my passion for dance
and wanting to learn more and improve.

54
00:02:25,541 --> 00:02:30,208
And seeing the competition team at recital
and thinking, wow, they're really good.

55
00:02:30,208 --> 00:02:32,708
I want to one day
be able to dance like them.

56
00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:37,625
Oh, so like recital is
you were performing just for fun

57
00:02:37,708 --> 00:02:41,250
and you saw the competition team perform
because they were there too.

58
00:02:41,666 --> 00:02:44,291
And you were like, I want to be like them.

59
00:02:44,291 --> 00:02:45,916
Yeah. That looks cool.

60
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:47,000
That looks fun. Awesome.

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,583
So you're like hey I want to so

62
00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:51,291
you obviously have

63
00:02:51,291 --> 00:02:54,708
to work hard try out for the team.

64
00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:57,583
They're not just letting anyone on
like I couldn't be on it.

65
00:02:57,583 --> 00:03:03,166
I mean, you don't want to see me dance,
but what was the tryout process

66
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:05,833
for you
like to get on this competition team?

67
00:03:05,833 --> 00:03:06,458
It was very.

68
00:03:06,458 --> 00:03:08,916
It was two separate days,
and it was very nerve wracking

69
00:03:08,916 --> 00:03:11,750
because there were lots of amazing dancers
there,

70
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:13,500
and I was a little bit self-conscious.

71
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,833
But so we learned
we did some across the floor

72
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:19,708
just basically doing like dance moves
across the floors, across the floor.

73
00:03:19,708 --> 00:03:21,666
And we learned some. Across the floor?

74
00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:24,208
Basically just you go in a line
across the floor. Okay.

75
00:03:24,208 --> 00:03:25,375
So you're not like, crawling?

76
00:03:25,375 --> 00:03:28,375
No. Okay. They're like log rolls? No.

77
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:29,750
Okay okay okay.

78
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:32,416
And then we learned some combos,
which is basically a couple

79
00:03:32,416 --> 00:03:33,750
eight counts of a song.

80
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:38,916
And then you perform it
and I didn't think I did very well,

81
00:03:38,916 --> 00:03:43,250
but I guess I did pretty well
because I got on the competition team.

82
00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:44,000
Sure.

83
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,166
But it was pretty nerve wracking
because there

84
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:49,375
like I said,
there are a bunch of amazing dancers, but,

85
00:03:49,916 --> 00:03:52,625
it was really fun and I learned a lot.

86
00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:55,541
So I'm glad that I got on. So were you?

87
00:03:55,541 --> 00:03:56,958
Were you pretty nervous?

88
00:03:56,958 --> 00:03:57,833
Yes. Yeah?

89
00:03:57,833 --> 00:03:58,833
The day of?

90
00:03:58,833 --> 00:04:01,750
And how many judges were there?

91
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:03,416
Was there just one person?

92
00:04:03,416 --> 00:04:05,416
So there were four.

93
00:04:05,416 --> 00:04:08,416
I'm pretty sure there were four teachers,
and they were kind of like

94
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:11,416
judging us and auditioning us
and also teaching us.

95
00:04:11,541 --> 00:04:15,500
So and those are the teachers
that teach me and choreograph our dances.

96
00:04:15,541 --> 00:04:18,875
Cool.
And how long was this tryout process?

97
00:04:18,875 --> 00:04:21,125
Was it a couple days?
Was it one day? A couple hours?

98
00:04:21,125 --> 00:04:22,333
Like how long were you there?

99
00:04:22,333 --> 00:04:24,291
So it was two days.

100
00:04:24,291 --> 00:04:29,250
And I believe the audition process
was like 2 to 3 hours. Wow.

101
00:04:29,416 --> 00:04:32,500
No water breaks.
They were like dance. Yeah.

102
00:04:32,541 --> 00:04:33,333
No water. The whole.

103
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,458
The whole week. Just dance.

104
00:04:35,458 --> 00:04:36,833
That's. That's so fun.

105
00:04:36,833 --> 00:04:39,916
So you are,

106
00:04:39,916 --> 00:04:43,708
you compete jazz and contemporary?

107
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:46,750
Yes. And are and are those
two separate teams or it's the same team?

108
00:04:46,791 --> 00:04:48,750
It's the same team.

109
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:53,333
So you try out for everything
and then decide based on skill

110
00:04:53,416 --> 00:04:57,875
which they which choreography
and which dance they should put you in.

111
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,333
Okay.

112
00:04:58,333 --> 00:04:59,333
So for example,

113
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:02,750
some of the girls that are in my jazz
dance aren't in my contemporary dance.

114
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:04,833
And some of the girls
that are in contemporary aren't in jazz.

115
00:05:04,833 --> 00:05:06,916
Is it because of the jazz hands?

116
00:05:06,916 --> 00:05:08,375
Is that what got you in? There.

117
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:09,000
Probably.

118
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,583
I get Nora, the perfect jazz hands.

119
00:05:11,583 --> 00:05:14,958
What what is, Do you have
a favorite between the two?

120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,666
Do you like competing in jazz
more or contemporary more?

121
00:05:17,666 --> 00:05:20,958
I think I like contemporary more
because you get to tell a story.

122
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:23,875
Okay. And it's emotional and it's moving.

123
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:27,291
For example, our contemporary dance
is about school and bullying

124
00:05:27,291 --> 00:05:30,291
and standing up
and not letting anybody bring you down.

125
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,500
Wow. And you do all that like in the song?

126
00:05:33,541 --> 00:05:34,750
In the one song? Yeah.

127
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:36,875
And then one dance. In the dance?

128
00:05:36,875 --> 00:05:38,625
And you're not talking?

129
00:05:38,625 --> 00:05:39,500
You're just moving?

130
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,500
Yeah. You're using your body. Very cool.

131
00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:45,958
And do you think,

132
00:05:45,958 --> 00:05:49,291
which which one is, like, more difficult,
between the two?

133
00:05:49,291 --> 00:05:51,500
Or are they about the same
or just different?

134
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,625
I think contemporary is more difficult,
and it's more challenging for me

135
00:05:55,625 --> 00:05:59,375
personally, because I had never done
contemporary before the auditions.

136
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:00,666
Oh, wow.

137
00:06:00,666 --> 00:06:05,375
And I think the moves are challenging
and it's helped me push myself more.

138
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:07,291
Very neat.

139
00:06:07,291 --> 00:06:10,291
So this is your first time

140
00:06:10,625 --> 00:06:14,583
competing on a team this past season.

141
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:16,000
We'll call it this past year.

142
00:06:17,958 --> 00:06:18,583
What was it

143
00:06:18,583 --> 00:06:21,625
like stepping out on that stage
the first time?

144
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:23,750
Were you like,
wow, deer in the headlights?

145
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:26,625
I'm super nervous. Like,
what are all these people doing here?

146
00:06:26,625 --> 00:06:29,333
Why am I here? I made a terrible mistake.

147
00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:31,750
Or were you like,
I'm feeling super confident?

148
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:32,666
Was it a mix of the two?

149
00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:35,458
Like,
tell me about that first stage experience.

150
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:40,083
It was very terrifying backstage
because you didn't really know

151
00:06:40,083 --> 00:06:42,666
when people were going to go on,
because it was kind of crazy.

152
00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:46,416
And we were one of the first numbers to go
on, and we were waiting backstage

153
00:06:46,416 --> 00:06:49,416
for like five, ten minutes,
but it felt like an eternity.

154
00:06:49,916 --> 00:06:52,791
And it was very, very nerve
wracking for me because I was just

155
00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:55,791
standing there and I had butterflies
in my stomach waiting to go on.

156
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:59,166
Were were the other people around you
on your team?

157
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:01,125
Were, could you tell they were nervous
or they weren't?

158
00:07:01,125 --> 00:07:01,500
Or like,

159
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,625
were you guys,
like encouraging each other or like what,

160
00:07:03,625 --> 00:07:05,625
what was going on
with the with each other?

161
00:07:05,625 --> 00:07:09,125
It was every a lot of the other people,
they were very calm

162
00:07:09,125 --> 00:07:11,708
because this is like their fifth year
on the competition team.

163
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:13,083
Some of them.

164
00:07:13,083 --> 00:07:15,958
But my best friends,
they were very supportive

165
00:07:15,958 --> 00:07:16,916
and they were like, you got this.

166
00:07:16,916 --> 00:07:20,083
So it was really amazing
to have them. Nice.

167
00:07:20,083 --> 00:07:20,916
Very cool.

168
00:07:20,916 --> 00:07:24,666
I mean, are people is the cliche break
a leg?

169
00:07:24,708 --> 00:07:26,875
Is everybody saying that right before it?

170
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:28,083
You know, if I say it?

171
00:07:28,083 --> 00:07:29,833
I was mostly good luck
because breaking a leg,

172
00:07:29,833 --> 00:07:31,375
I think that's more of a theater thing.

173
00:07:31,375 --> 00:07:34,041
Yeah, yeah, you're right,
that makes sense.

174
00:07:34,041 --> 00:07:35,541
But you could be doing a musical.

175
00:07:35,541 --> 00:07:40,041
So your team took home first place,
as I understand it.

176
00:07:40,166 --> 00:07:42,708
Cool trophy. Now the trophy’s not here.

177
00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:44,750
We got some dance costumes here.

178
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:47,333
Trophy’s not here
because it's at the studio.

179
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:51,208
But you were supposed to break
in, steal it so we could show it off,

180
00:07:51,416 --> 00:07:52,625
but that's okay.

181
00:07:52,625 --> 00:07:55,416
But you took home first place.

182
00:07:55,416 --> 00:07:59,541
What was that moment like winning
first place?

183
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,291
Knowing that, like,
you worked really hard.

184
00:08:02,291 --> 00:08:04,583
Your team worked hard, and then, boom,
you took.

185
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:07,416
I mean, because this is your first year
doing it and you took first place.

186
00:08:07,416 --> 00:08:08,750
What was that moment like for you?

187
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:12,125
It was really special for me
because at each competition,

188
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:15,625
they choose a different girl
to go up on stage and get the trophy.

189
00:08:15,833 --> 00:08:18,750
And at my first competition,
they chose me for my jazz dance.

190
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:20,916
No way. So yeah, that was really special.

191
00:08:20,916 --> 00:08:24,166
And I was like, oh,
I did so bad and we didn't do that good.

192
00:08:24,416 --> 00:08:26,750
But when they called us for first place
for our jazz dance

193
00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:28,541
it was just really special to go on stage.

194
00:08:28,541 --> 00:08:32,000
So were is your whole team
super surprised you guys won?

195
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,541
Like were you all like no way.

196
00:08:33,541 --> 00:08:37,708
Yes. Awards are they’re very long,
but it's really exciting whenever you win.

197
00:08:37,916 --> 00:08:40,166
Right on. Very cool.

198
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:44,416
So, have you made a pretty good
amount of friends on your team,

199
00:08:44,416 --> 00:08:48,083
or did you have friends on it before or
what's that been like?

200
00:08:48,125 --> 00:08:52,375
I didn't really know anybody when I first
tried out, but after a couple weeks

201
00:08:52,375 --> 00:08:55,500
I made a bunch of friends,
and it's really just a big family.

202
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,666
Since you spend so much time together,
you get to know everybody.

203
00:08:58,791 --> 00:09:00,750
Yeah.
I mean, y'all are probably training a lot.

204
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:03,291
I mean,
how often are you guys at the studio?

205
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:08,500
Twice a week on a regular dance week
for like 2 to 3 hours.

206
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,333
Jeez. Wow. Okay.

207
00:09:11,333 --> 00:09:15,291
What what do you think is something

208
00:09:15,875 --> 00:09:20,541
about these dance competitions
that that people might not expect?

209
00:09:20,541 --> 00:09:22,458
Like people
that don't know anything about them, like,

210
00:09:22,458 --> 00:09:23,875
you know, say me, for example.

211
00:09:23,875 --> 00:09:25,000
I've never been to a dance competition

212
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,958
What's something that people might not
expect?

213
00:09:26,958 --> 00:09:28,250
It's very chaotic.

214
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:29,958
Backstage it's very chaotic.

215
00:09:29,958 --> 00:09:33,125
Once you get on stage,
everything looks like calm and everybody's

216
00:09:33,125 --> 00:09:33,750
in the right place.

217
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,125
But backstage

218
00:09:35,125 --> 00:09:38,208
and like, in the dressing room,
people don't have, like, their lashes

219
00:09:38,208 --> 00:09:41,333
or their makeup done and people are doing
last minute hair fixes.

220
00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:44,333
Like, sometimes people's hair come out
and you have to, like, hairspray it down,

221
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,375
but it's very chaotic backstage.

222
00:09:46,375 --> 00:09:48,708
It's like herding cats back there. I see.

223
00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:52,291
What would you say is something

224
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,375
that dance has taught you about life?

225
00:09:56,958 --> 00:10:01,916
I think it's taught me to be patient
and to work hard and see things through,

226
00:10:01,916 --> 00:10:04,916
because at the beginning
I wasn't the best dancer in the world.

227
00:10:05,125 --> 00:10:06,583
But I worked hard. After,

228
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,666
dance class,

229
00:10:08,666 --> 00:10:10,500
I would go home
and I would practice it in my basement,

230
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:14,458
and I would work hard and
do the choreography and learn the tricks.

231
00:10:14,458 --> 00:10:16,375
And at the end of the day,

232
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:19,833
I could notice that I was getting better
from the first day that I started.

233
00:10:19,833 --> 00:10:23,958
And I think it taught me to be patient and
that your hard work really does pay off.

234
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:26,750
Awesome.
I mean, hey, it is already for you.

235
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:31,708
First year getting this first place
competition, award.

236
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:35,875
So what of these trips you've gone on?

237
00:10:35,875 --> 00:10:37,500
Because I imagine it sounds like you all

238
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:40,500
maybe have traveled a little bit
to these different competitions.

239
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,875
What?

240
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:46,333
Which trip so far
would you say has been like your favorite?

241
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:50,041
Or have you had, like a favorite moment

242
00:10:50,041 --> 00:10:53,958
or like a funny random memory
that's happened?

243
00:10:53,958 --> 00:10:54,500
Like what?

244
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,875
Tell me a little bit if either of those?

245
00:10:56,875 --> 00:10:59,875
So, I think my favorite was
when we went to Charleston

246
00:11:00,083 --> 00:11:03,291
and we got a hotel
and my grandma actually came with us.

247
00:11:03,291 --> 00:11:05,041
It was like a little girls’ trip. Fun.

248
00:11:05,041 --> 00:11:07,333
And it was really fun
because, like, we went out to dinner

249
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:10,250
and then we went back to the hotel
and we had a really good time.

250
00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:13,458
It was really special that I got to share
that with my grandma and my mom.

251
00:11:13,708 --> 00:11:15,083
That's so cool.

252
00:11:15,083 --> 00:11:17,208
How long were you all there
for the competition?

253
00:11:17,208 --> 00:11:20,875
We were just there for one day,
but we got there early

254
00:11:21,125 --> 00:11:24,125
so that we could go out to eat,
get dinner and have fun.

255
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:29,083
And the first place competition,
the one that y'all won first place.

256
00:11:29,083 --> 00:11:30,750
Where was that located?

257
00:11:30,750 --> 00:11:32,666
I honestly can't remember.

258
00:11:32,666 --> 00:11:36,208
It was like 20, 30 minutes away. Oh, okay.

259
00:11:36,208 --> 00:11:38,750
But it's like kind of more local
to where y'all?

260
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:40,458
Yeah, it was more local. Okay.

261
00:11:40,458 --> 00:11:42,500
It wasn't like you went to Nevada
or something?

262
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:42,791
Yeah.

263
00:11:42,791 --> 00:11:45,791
No. You you weren't down in Florida
winning that okay.

264
00:11:46,166 --> 00:11:49,000
So switching gears a little bit
as you think

265
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
about, doing dance,

266
00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:56,500
what is something that you've appreciated
about being a student in GCA

267
00:11:56,708 --> 00:12:00,416
and being able to and doing dance, like,
would you say?

268
00:12:00,708 --> 00:12:02,666
The flexibility is really nice.

269
00:12:02,666 --> 00:12:05,208
I have flexible attendance.

270
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:08,166
So for example,
when we were going down to Vidalia,

271
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:11,458
Georgia for a dance competition,
we had to leave a little bit earlier.

272
00:12:11,458 --> 00:12:13,041
So I had missed social studies.

273
00:12:13,041 --> 00:12:16,041
But once we got back to the hotel,
since I had flexible attendance,

274
00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:19,166
I was able to watch the social studies
class from the hotel room.

275
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:20,333
Nice.

276
00:12:20,333 --> 00:12:22,791
So you got that little flexibility action
earned?

277
00:12:22,791 --> 00:12:24,125
Very cool.

278
00:12:24,125 --> 00:12:27,625
Well, Nora, we super appreciate
you coming on the show.

279
00:12:27,833 --> 00:12:30,833
Before you get out of here
who do you want to shout out?

280
00:12:31,041 --> 00:12:35,125
I want to shout out my family
for making this happen, because dance is.

281
00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:39,208
They have to drag me to dance twice a week
and supporting

282
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:42,291
me, going to my dance competitions,
helping me get ready.

283
00:12:42,291 --> 00:12:46,333
It's just so amazing to have my family
there to help support me in everything

284
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:47,958
I do. Right on. Yes.

285
00:12:47,958 --> 00:12:49,500
No, Nora. It's awesome.

286
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,791
First, first, year out the gate.

287
00:12:51,791 --> 00:12:53,958
You're on the jazz team.

288
00:12:53,958 --> 00:12:55,916
You're on the contemporary team.

289
00:12:55,916 --> 00:12:59,666
I don't know how many teams there are,
but I don't doubt you're going to be

290
00:12:59,666 --> 00:13:03,916
on all of them soon
and winning these competitions already.

291
00:13:04,291 --> 00:13:06,166
And I think you told me
y'all are going to go

292
00:13:06,166 --> 00:13:10,000
to nationals this summer,
so I'm sure you're going to kill it there.

293
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:14,916
We super appreciate you coming on
Hootworthy, Nora, and stay Hootworthy.

294
00:13:14,916 --> 00:13:16,833
Thanks for coming on the show. Thank you.
