Johnson Wellness Center. The 14 elementary girls were taught a halftime routine consisting of two cheers, one stunt and a dance. Clinic participants performed the routine during halftime at the Sept. 18, football game. This year was the 6th year the cheer and dance programs have taught the clinic. Friday’s clinic was the first clinic to be taught in the fall. In previous years, the clinics were only offered in the spring, but competitive dance head coach Stacie Horton said that she thought it would be fun to add a clinic during football season as well. Horton said the idea of starting a clinic came in part from high schools that host cheer and dance clinics for young girls. “Back when I was in high school we used to have little girls clinics and I know a lot of current Grand View cheerleaders and dancers came from high schools where they did the same thing,” Horton said. “So (we are) kind of carrying on tradition and we’re following through at Grand View too.” Fostering awareness of Grand View’s cheer and dance programs while giving young girls a positive experience was another reason for starting a cheer and dance clinic, Horton said. “I hope that the young girls remember Grand View and talk about it fondly so when they choose one day to go to college they go to Grand View in the back of their mind and say ‘I remember when I was little and I took a cheer and dance clinic there. I’d like to check that place out.’” Horton said. Cheerleader Amber Long, nursing and accounting senior, said that she felt teaching the clinic could remind cheer and dance team members of their start in dance or cheer. “Personally I think we get a new understanding of where we began and knowing that you don’t just walk into this stuff and start cheering,” Long said. Coach Horton said that the clinic was a good way to build a connection between the elementary girls and the members of the cheer and dance teams. “I want [the cheer and dance team members] to get that they really have an influence on the youth and they need to have a positive influence on them,” Horton said.

Dance and cheerleading teams host clinic
The cheer and competitive dance teams held a cheer and dance clinic for kindergarten through sixth grade girls between 6 and 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17, in the Charles S. Johnson Wellness Center.
The 14 elementary girls were taught a halftime routine consisting of two cheers, one stunt and a dance. Clinic participants performed the routine during halftime at the Sept. 18, football game.
This year was the 6th year the cheer and dance programs have taught the clinic. Friday’s clinic was the first clinic to be taught in the fall. In previous years, the clinics were only offered in the spring, but competitive dance head coach Stacie Horton said that she thought it would be fun to add a clinic during football season as well.
Horton said the idea of starting a clinic came in part from high schools that host cheer and dance clinics for young girls.
“Back when I was in high school we used to have little
girls clinics and I know a lot of current Grand View cheerleaders and dancers came from high schools where they did the same thing,” Horton said. “So (we are) kind of carrying on tradition and we’re f o l l o w i n g through at Grand View too.”
Fostering a w a r e n e s s of Grand View’s cheer and dance p r o g r a m s while giving young girls a positive e x p e r i e n c e was another reason for starting a cheer and dance clinic, Horton said.
“I hope that the young girls remember Grand View and talk about it fondly so when they choose one day to go to college they go to Grand View in the back of their mind and say ‘I remember when I was little and I took a cheer and dance clinic there. I’d
like to check that place out.’” Horton said.
Cheerleader Amber Long, nursing and accounting senior, said that she felt teaching the
clinic could remind cheer and dance team members of their start in dance or cheer.
“Personally I think we get a new understanding of where we began and knowing that you don’t just walk into this stuff and start cheering,” Long said.
