Interesting that Sarina and Anna are being invited to the camp.

No dance teams?

Paolino/Tuba spent a couple weeks training with Carol Lane's team. Good to hear something from them after they were sidelined with injury for so long. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9upNvOo74-/?igsh=MWFzeWlocmU3b2YxNA==

Lovely to have an Icelandic team. Probably a first.

Paolino/Tuba have really upped their Instagram posting game lately. I think they're trying to become the Flores/Desyatov of Italy. https://www.instagram.com/paolino_tuba_team?igsh=MXdscnIzeHF6NjgzYQ==
