On to Nationals By: Laura Castro and Monica Chavez


It has been a great year for the Caprock Diamond Dancers. You have
probably seen them performing and cheering at football games, basketball
games and even some wrestling meets. Unfortunately, the dance season is
coming to an end, and the time for competition and travel is just around
the corner. Last year, three young ladies were chosen from the team to
become a member of the National All Star Drill Team and perform a
seven-minute routine in Dallas with many other dancers from all over the
nation. This year three more girls were selected to become a member of
the National All Star Drill team. Monica Chavez, Charly Gibson, and
Laura Castro will travel to Dallas in late April to participate. There,
they will learn a routine, be in a fashion show, meet real life dancers,
and attend clinics from professional choreographers from around the
country. All three girls are very excited and even a little nervous to
leave for a few days, but it will all be worth it when they come back
with new moves and routines for the team. We can't wait, and it's going
to be such a great experience for us all!
