I've watched it like 4 times and each time my jaw drops, especially during the Footloose sequence. Considering these girls are 4th-8th graders?? Holy freaking COW!!

That's amazing. I've never even seen anything like that. How do they even think of doing those things?

That's unbelievable! I actually got irritated every time they cut to show the crowd, because I wanted to keep watching their stunts. Can you imagine the shape these girls are in? Holy cow. I think I could manage maybe five seconds of that.

I was very irritated as well when they kept showing the crowd.

I bookmarked their website so I can check and see what their schedule is in the fall. If they come anywhere near here I am going to go see them-they impressed the HELL out of me.

And I don't think I could manage even five seconds of that-if it were straight jump rope probably. But as klutzy as I am, I would probably trip myself up one second in and fall flat on my derriere. My trainer has tried to get me to do rope work along with the speed bag/boxing work but I told him that while I am very graceful with my hands, my feet are entirely different. I can trip over a non-existent fold on a rug for pity's sake. *rolls eyes*
