The members of the Trojan Dance Force have been practicing for almost two hours. In a side gym at Galen Center, they stomp, leap and turn through one routine after another, barely catch their breath before launching into their next piece.
With chests heaving, they line up for a full-out repetition. This is one of the last practice performances with 100% effort before the day can be done. The dancers take their starting positions.
“Force it, ladies,” a woman in the group says before catching herself.
“And Hugo.”
Everyone chuckles. Once the music starts, Hugo Miller needs no reason to be singled out.
