Audiences Stunned Time After Time •ome people say they move with more grace than gazelles, while others say they glow like stars. I say they ' re awesome. A union ot eleven mastertui and artis- tic girls, innovative routines and an abundance ot endurance produced a dance team that astounded audiences time after time. They not only per- formed at pep rallies, but engaged in the USA and State Competitions. Specta- tors were also stunned at invitied perfor- mances. Practice was an important element behind the team ' s success. Long hours of stretching exercises and rehearsals were crucial to achieving the grace and flow in routines. Specializing in a con- temporary style of dance, they created routines that included jazz and modern moves. Under Ms. Jones, their advisor, the girls worked for a harmonious ryth- mic affect. I think it ' s safe to say they definitely succeeded. The talents of each individual girl were fused together to make one ex- traordinary team. Stacy Forney, cap- tain, praised her teammates. The team this year consisted of girls with great at- titudes. They worked very hard at prac- tices to do well, and they accepted con- structive criticism. I always felt excited to come to practice with the team, she remarked. I admire the dance team because, al- though their grace may seem effortless, dancing is known to be one of the most grueling arts. This year ' s success should lay an excellent foundation for prosper- ous future years. ■ • 1. Practicing their strenuous routines, the donee team members strive to ochiere perfect unity. 2.
