All of you did an awesome job. Thanks for working so hard. all of those who weren't with us on thursday, tried out over video and jen and I looked over them.
As all of you have heard me say, you are all in this team because you are talented. Each one of you brings a special talent to our team. You are all stronger at somethings and weaker at some things. Dont ever take not making a comp team hard, as if you weren't good enough, because you are. We were looking for dancers who flowed with the music. Who felt it, and had great control and technique and strength. This year, the way we are doing the comp teams, if you don't make the team you are an automatic alternate just for that dance. We will tryout for each comp piece, but camp dances all of you will be in them. If you are an alternate, we are still going to be watching you. If at any time you are showing better skills and passion than the comp team dancers, we may pull you in a replace you with someone on the comp team. This means you need to keep trying as hard as you can. Comp team, if you lack performance or can't quite perform the way we need you to, you will be replaced by an alternate. I'm taking the strongest performers for each dance, and we will have a very strong cheering section from our team, so when we win, all of you will be apart of it,and That's why there are so many alternates. Each one of yoy are capable of making a comp team, but what you put into it, is what youll get out of it. I created workouts to help with our weaknesses, you should be stretching, and you all made your own goals that you should be working on. We all need to play as a team, so trust me and all of you try as hard as you can. If you are an alternate, try and find someone with similar technique as you or someone you'd like to dance like, and memorize their parts. If I pull you in at any time, you need to know what is going on. Everyone needs to go over counts and movements by yourself, so yoy are ready when we do this at practice.
