The Waspettes Are On Fire

The fireworks weren’t the only thing on fire at Stadium of Fire this past weekend! The Waspettes celebrated the 4th of July this year by performing at the event. They were given the opportunity to dance with over 400 dancers from Utah, Arizona, and Idaho. To prepare for the show the Waspettes had to endure 3 days of intense outdoor practices that started in the early morning and went until late in the night. The theme of the show was Women in World War II and the headline performer was Journey. Prior to these practices the girls learned two full-length routines. The first routine was a Rosie the Riveter piece and the second was a Rock N’ Roll mix, where the girls wore computerized wristbands that changed colors while they danced, which required a lot of precision with their arm movements. During the 3 days of rehearsals they learned a third routine and performed this piece with the group EepyBird, who did a Bellagio Fountain routine with Diet Coke and Mentos. The Waspettes and coaches would like to thank their parents for volunteering to spray the girls down and keep them hydrated.   

The week prior to Stadium of Fire the girls attended Precision Dance Camp at UVU. Here they enjoyed 3 days of learning routines, perfecting their technique, and performing. During the Display of Dance night the girls performed their competition Hip Hop routine where they received the Performance Night Champions award. The Waspette season is starting off very strong and we are looking forward to what the rest of the season will bring. 

Camp and Other Goodies

Camp is coming up! Wahoooooooo! Camp is the greatest because it gives our team time to work hard together, learn new dances, and create unity! I can't wait to see the amazing things that you will do next week! I'm sure you have several questions, so here is everything you need to know about camp:

• Wednesday, June 21: PDC waivers due. You cannot participate in camp without them!
• Thursday,  June 22: Practice as normal and then sister team time. Take this chance to help your little sister feel confident and ready for camp.

 Camp Packing List: Bring (everyday)

1.  Pair of gore boots (black if wearing long pants, beige if wearing shorts).
