The dance team worked together to choreograph a fun dance for the children to learn. This year they had 78 kids compared to last years 40 kids. On Saturday, the dancers split up into groups of two and were assigned a group of kids from the following schools: St.Pats, St.Johns, Cataract Elementary, Maplewood, Lakeview Montessori, Southside, Lawrence-Lawson, and Meadowview Intermediate students.
Once everyone was split into groups, Freshmen Ashley Tester mentioned, "It was a fun, new experience. I really enjoyed working with the younger kids and teaching them how to dance."
The dance clinic went from nine in the morning until eleven in the afternoon. The girls danced to a song from the movie Camp Rock called "Play my music." Tester commented, "I asked some of the girls that we taught and they said they really enjoyed dancing and working with the older girls." After the clinic everyone went home to practice and rest up for the big performance.
They met back up at the Memorial Football field that night at seven and performed the dance in front of parents, relatives, and other football players parents under the lights. Dance team coach Kristin Munger commented, "This year's clinic went very well. It was a very good fund raiser and made a lot of little kids happy, and that's all that matters."
The dance team looks forward to next year and getting more girls then this year. Tester exclaims, "I hope it goes smoothly next year and stays fun for us and the little kids."
