Keepin to the Bea t I, 2, 3, 4 step and turn ... 1, 2, 3, 4 step and turn . . . that’s what each and every girl had to remember in the Pom Pon squad. They all went to a one-day camp on December 1st in Alexandria, Virginia, where they learned six new routines. They also had to learn to count in sets of eights to the music, so they would know when to turn or to step and dance. This and learning the dance steps each week became a challenge to all the girls on the squad. Janet Harper said, “Pom Pon was a challenge because of the short time we had to learn a routine in a certain amount of days. Also, we were known to be one of the best squads around and we had to keep that image.’ When they performed during half-time at basketball games to songs like “17 Days’’ by Prince, “Bop till you Drop” by Rick Springfield, and “Shube Do Whop,” by Rare Essence, all those hard, long practices after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays show- ed. Then they strutted their stuff into the audience’s heart. If Prince could see me now! Stephanie Butler struts her stuff as the audience enjoys the routine. Are we doing this right? Kelly Hannus. Shelly Dixon, and Michelle Holly do their routine to Bop Till She Drops by Rick Springfield. 166 COMPETITION Pom Pons
