The spotlight clicks on and glares down onto your face, immediately creating sweat beads along your hairline. Your music cues up, and your heart beats in your ears. You take one last breath before that final intro eight-count, and then you’re off. Like you’ve practiced so many times before, your feet move solidly and confidently, […]
