Leadership Retreat

A handful of our seniors were able to attend the Basic Dance Training Leadership Retreat this past weekend at the Zermatt. The girls were taught and inspired on how to become better leaders to their team. They also learned different ways to warm up and cool down, reviewed proper technical dance skills, as well as attended a master class lead by one of Jennifer Lopez's main dancers! The coaches were able to attend great classes as well, it was definitely a worth while weekend for all!

*On that note, officer elections are FRIDAY morning! Waspettes, come prepared to tell the team why you should be one of their leaders!

Congratulations to two of our very own Waspette seniors for make Southern Utah University's dance team. Meagan Gregrich and Shann Rino are two of the 17 members of the Waukeenyans. The girls will begin practice the first week of August and will perform at SUU football games, basketball games, and community events. The girls' families, the Waspettes and their coaches, along with Wasatch High School are very proud of this amazing accomplishment and would like to wish these ladies good luck!

"Words cannot describe how much I have enjoyed my time as a Waspette. I am in love with every aspect of this sport and the things it has taught me over the past 4 years. I will always remember these years, the wonderful girls I danced with, the coaches that shaped me into the person I am today, and not to mention the insane amounts of dancing I did. Performing as a Waspette was my definition of pure joy in high school and I will never forget my time on this team."

CYDNIE SPENCER 

2016 4A Academic All Region

"Starting drill as a senior, I felt like a Freshmen again. It was an experience I'm glad I got to have. It helped me grow as a dancer and be able to go outside of my comfort zone. No one gives the Waspettes enough credit! I thought it would be easy because they made it look so easy. The amount of effort it takes to make the dances look effortless is amazing! I don't regret trying out or only doing it for one year, I'm just glad I got to have the experience!"

Check out our team photos! It was quite the ordeal with weather complications causing us to do our photo shoot on two different days, but they turned out great! It was fun to have the photos taken in our hometown, including our WHS football stadium!

At the last home basketball game the drill team seniors, dance company seniors, and cheer seniors performed together at halftime. It was an awesome performance choreographed by the girls. The basketball team boosters even gave all the girls flowers to thank them for their support.

The seniors still have a couple more performance before the season ends, so don't miss them! On Monday, Feb. 28th at 7:30 PM the boys basketball team will play in round 1 of the state championship at Weber State. The Waspettes will be performing at half time.

The performance you most definitely do not want to miss is The Waspette Spectacular on Friday, March 11th. This is a huge fundraiser for the girls as they host the Mini Waspette clinic as well as showcase all their routines from the season.
