Daily Lobo Spotlight

Daily Lobo: How long have you been doing flips?
Zackery Wright: I have been doing it for three years.
DL: How did you learn?
ZW: I taught myself very carefully. You start off with little stuff. I saw a video on YouTube and decided to try it.
DL: Have you gotten hurt by doing it?
ZW: The worst thing I have done is lacerated my knee and had to get stitches, but other than that just little scrapes.
DL: How long were you out for?
ZW: For three months. I just had to get a couple of stitches. It was not too bad.
DL: Do you have any other activities you do?
ZW: I have been (ballroom) dancing. I started last semester.
DL: How did you get into dance?
ZW: I was watching this show “So You Think You Can Dance,” and I really liked that. My friend told me that they have dance classes here, so I decided to check them out, and I really liked it.
DL: What did you do for fall break?
ZW: I just hung out with my friends and got to do some dancing choreography with my friend. Me and my dance partner danced two times over fall break, because we are going to do an Argentine tango for the dance show. So someone is choreographing it for us, and we started to learn the moves.
DL: When is the dance show?
ZW: It’s in the end of the semester.
DL: Is the dance show for your ballroom dance class?
ZW: Everybody puts on a show, and everybody comes and checks it out.
