Pioneerettes rack up awards: Dancers earn invites to several major events
|
The dance team took home honors including the Team Drill Down Award, a superior rating for home routine and a superior sweepstakes award for their overall performance of routines learned at camp.
Seniors Bethany Crouch, Lakelyn Foutch, Aimee Hillis, Jenee Northcutt, Ericka Porter and Alyssa Wright all received the honor of the “All Star” award, which gives them the privilege of participating in the spectacular Paris All-star performance Dec. 26-Jan. 2. The senior officers also have the opportunity to travel to New York City to participate in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Crouch, Foutch and Northcutt also received applications from the UDA staff to try out to be on their dance staff for the 2004 summer season.
Other award winners included sophomore Kara Green, who competed against 300 other girls at camp to win the individual Drill Down Award.
The Pioneerettes also received an invitation to participate in the nationally televised national dance team competition, which will be held in Orlando, Fla., at the end of January.
• Warren County’s senior dance team members attended another dance camp recently, this time in Louisville, Ky.
The girls received many awards at the camp, which was sponsored by the National Dance Team Alliance. Awards included an excellent rating for their home routine, the Gold Plaque for their team routine and the spirit and technical excellence awards for every day at camp.
They also received All-star nominee ribbons, with Lakelyn Foutch receiving the All-star award. The seniors all received invitations to perform in Hawaii at the Hula Bowl in January, as well as applications to try out for the Summer, 2004, NDA staff.
Upon receiving their awards, the officers qualified the varsity team to participate in the NDA nationals, which will be held in March in Orlando.
