So you know, I will be sending weekly "This Week in Poms" emails out on Saturdays or Sunday nights for reminders from here on out. This should help us stay organized. PLEASE read these all the way through in detail when I send them out. I will also be outlining exactly what we need to accomplish in every single practice in order to maximize our time properly in said emails. Some examples of things we will have on the agenda this summer:
-Technique drilling
-Back to School Dance choreography
-Walk ons and walk offs practice
-Captains Voting Session
-Dance research show and tell
-Captain applicants presenting notes from CSCA
-Drill downs
-Back walk overs with Heather
-Showmanship practice
-Theraband flexibility session
-Feedback session from JV and Emily
-UDA Camp prep talk
A few pieces of homework for you-
1) I'd like you all to start researching dance videos in your spare time. It doesn't matter what team it is, whether it is an all star or high school or college team. It could be pom or jazz or hip hop. Be looking for tricks and visual moments that really stand out to you. Please pick three clips by next week's Wednesday practice to show and tell with. Continue to do this over the summer.
The second part to this exercise will be working on our own original tricks and visual choreography- taking normal dance moves and adding different elements to them to make them unique for competition.
2) If you haven't gotten individual goals into me, please type and send to me by next Monday. I still need Kelsey Cambier, Maddie and Caitlyn for this.
Side notes-
1) Can someone please add me to the group text chain? Do we need to start a new one for this year's team only?
2) Please start bringing tennis shoes and practice poms to practice. If you don't have any from last year I have a few in my office (though you will have new white poms for the upcoming season)
I will send a massive "This Week in Poms" email either tomorrow or Sunday.
