Hard workers, dedication and a little bit of ham is wtiat Melanie Alexander looked for in her dancers, and that type of dancer is what she found in every girl that made it for the team. Mel, as her students in her dance classes call her, said, this group of girls is closer than any of the other groups in previous dance classes. I guess they ' re close because of all the dances they ' ve had to learn in a hurry. They learned a dance a week for five weeks in a row. They had to learn so much in so little time. They ' re also a smaller group than usual. I think we had a close relationship because we worked so hard together, striving for the same thing , quoted De De Shoemaker. We had a blast. We did alot of things outside of dance together. said Karen Conger. Most of the girls , Karen con- tinued, Wanted to be involved in the school and wanted to get into an activity that they could do well in. That ' s why they tried out . The girls performed more shows than the norm for the dance teams at E.D.. They performed with the Jazz and Vocal Ensemble. They also held a parents night. They held a performance at half time at one of E.D. ' s basketball games.
