Friday, 20 September 2013
by Jean Wang
Editor’s Note: I am excited to introduce the first in what (hopefully) will be an ongoing series, SYTYCD: Princeton, chronicling our writers’ experiences trying out for various dance groups on campus. I’m pretty much one of the most coordinated people you’ve ever met. If, that is, you’ve only met people like this: I’ve also pretty
