Bandette of The Week Alicia

This week, we take a look at rookie Alicia as our Bandette of The Week. Dancing on Lauren B's line on gamedays, this 18-year old has been dancing since she was 3 and even started teaching dance herself a year or so ago. Dance is a huge part of her life and she's used it to learn about life and living it to the fullest. This future preschool teacher was a perfect fit for the Bandettes from the start. She's a big lacrosse fan and would probably suit up for the Bandits if they'd let her...and it wouldn't keep her away from dancing...lol. Plus there's the fact that she's obsessed with the color orange. Like a lot of girls with the Jills and Bandettes, she says her biggest weakness is procrastination but there's two examples where she's overcoming that. First is the fact that she started teaching dance at 17...most are in their 20s when they start doing that. Also, she didn't wait to try out for the Bandettes once she was eligible. She tried out and was on the squad within months of turning 18. So if she's looking to overcome the procrastination, I'd say she's definitely making strides in that.
