    1). That hair all the yt women were wearing was absolutely atrocious, so glad that phased out.

    3). I live for those Reebok Freestyle shoes; I still own several pair of those in different colors. The royal blue ones were the cutest ones that those girls wore for Blue Suede Shoes routine. Loved the black ones with all the sparkles in them too. Wondering if they decorated those themselves or bought them like that. Then again, maybe they were sponsored by Reebok. Wouldn't be surprised.
    4). For those wondering these competitions actually STILL do take place, just not in the USA any longer, although they originally started here. Go to the FIG channel if you want to see more recent ones; these continued well into the 90s and there are some as recent as 2012. So they are still a thing. FIG is headquartered in Italy now, as Europe, Asia, Eastern Europe, etc pretty much dominated and took over. These competitions began when the US was at the height of its fitness movement.
