A nervous group of performers stood on the
edge of the gym oor listening to the crowd
scream and applaud. The seven students, waiting
to be called into the spotlight, represented the
most experienced members of the Breakdance
Club, and they were about to display their
skills for the rst time to the student body at the
basketball homecoming pep rally on Dec. 9.
Other athletic clubs like Badminton and
Table Tennis had loyal memberships, but the
breakdancers were the rst to perform as a
whole in front of the student body. They had
practiced their routine every available day for
two months, but some still felt unprepared.
As with any debut performance, the
students experienced triumphs and failures.
The experience gave me a lot to work on
for what were going to perform next time,
Aizik Migirov (10) said. The crowd cheers
for tricks. If you do something cool with your
body, they go for it.
Migirovs fellow dancer Vickie Tang (11)
performed a duo with Sophia Crowder (10) as a
part of the clubs presentation. Tangs peers were
surprised by her breakdancing abilities because
of her small stature.
It just shows them that despite how you look,
you can actually do it, Tang said.
Not every club member participated in the pep
rally, but they all shared an interest in the activity.
Im not really a big dancer, breakdance
novice Thomas Neuteufel (10) said. I enjoy
breakdancing as a whole. Sometimes I stand
back and watch in amazement as Peter Thai
dances. Its like Step Up, the dance movie, in
front of my eyes.
The Breakdance Club performs for the rst time at the basketball
homecoming pep rally.

A common love for badminton pushed Abby Schroering
(11), Isaac Kresse (10), and Naga Alluri (11) to form the
Badminton Club. Though they had their rst meeting in
November, the club was not destined to meet again until
March. The obstacle: basketball season.
When I talked to Coach Zuberer in the fall, he gave
us the option of having meetings throughout the winter
after basketball, late at night after practice, said Alluri.
Members decided the delay was worth it for the club.
Weve never had it before, member Di llon Rama (11)
said, so as long as we still get it, it doesnt matter. Photo

Naga Alluri (11)
Wooldridge, Wooldridge, Wooldridge! This was the
only word ringing throughout the large gym as I fn ished my
game with the second best Ping Pong player in the school.
I won and now it was time or a bigger challenge. This was
my chance to earn eternal glory or the class o 2012 by
beating the greatest principal in the state o Kentucky, Mr.
Larry Wooldridge, in a game o Ping Pong. I was worried.
I elt my heart beating aster and my palms getting sweatier
as I gripped the paddle as hard as I could. Luckily, I was
the better Ping Pong player and I was able to achieve the
title o the best Ping Pong player at duPont Manual High
School. -Rukmini Yakkanti (12)

1. HEADS DOWNTrying to keep his balance, Aizik
Migirov (10) attempts a headstand trick. The tricks take
months to perfect and get right, Migirov said. Theyre
pretty dangerous if you dont do them right. 2. PHOTO

3. HELPING HAND... AND LEG Concluding
their ght scene, Vickie Tang (11) helps Sophia
Crowder (10) get back on her feet. The clubs
performance at the pep rally impressed more than
their peers. One lady... she wanted us to teach
little kids how to breakdance because she heard
how good we did at the pep rally, Crowder said.
4. CORKSCREW Doing some oor work, Peter
Thai (10) transitions into a thread. My mouth
went really dry, and the loud cheers from the other
students relieved me of some of my nervousness,
Thai said. 5. WHIP YOUR HAIR As the
audience and their fellow club members watch,
Tang and Crowder display their talents in a short
duo. It was really nerve-wracking because I had
mono at the time, but I didnt want to back out,
Tang said. Photos by Liz Palmer4
