In a combination of “Born this Way” and “Applause” by Lady Gaga, Riley Morelan smiles as she prepares for her backhandspring. “Our dance has a total of five formations, and we practiced it almost every class period since November. I was nervous before we performed because there was so many people there and my friends and family, but once I got on stage I was extremely excited and had so much fun,” Morelan said.
