As Valentine’s Day comes up, everyone is preparing for the best way to celebrate it. Typically, thoughts about this holiday go straight to fancy dates, activities, and gift-giving with one’s significant other. However, Valentine’s Day is simply celebrated with the people you love, and the Louisville Ladybirds know just how to do it.
The Ladybirds, U of L’s competitive dance team, have a roster of 40 girls, so team bonding is very important to them. This is especially true for Simone Oliver, a senior dancer on the team.
“Team bonding is essential to me because not only do I get to know my teammates on a personal level, but I feel like it enhances our performance when it comes to nationals,” Oliver said.
