Please start dancing again in 2017 and STOP the foolishness! Here are the reasons why I say this:
1. One group of girls kneels down, while another group is dancing, if you are a dance team, you all should be dancing or stay off the field if your routine isn't continuous, STOP the piecemeal crap.
2. Stop ending a routine lying flat on your backs, it looks crazy.
3. If you don't know how to choreograph, stunting and rolling around on the ground should NOT be a substitute.
4. Every squad should have at least one Christmas costume. (Golden Delight send help)
5. When preforming in parades or public events, STOP the stand routines and choreograph short dance routines. Doing stand routines when you are not in the stands look stupid, be creative, not lazy!
6. Be more energetic on the field and stop looking so lazy and stiff. Breathe, look and act like you want to entertain an audience.
7. Remember quality OVER quantity. 15 girls on the field and only 6 knows the routine looks like a side show.
8. Start choreographing to the music again. Every routine should NOT look the same!
9. Improve your song selections, because song selections were horrible this year!
10. If you have a dance-able song selection, dance, that's why you are call a Dance Team!

WOW!
Who are you directing this to exactly?

don't attack me for saying this but almost every school in the swac throws some stands during parades with the exception of the settes I think. And as much as it pains me to say it I think Orchesis is the only swac dancel-ine to have a Christmas like uniform (at least the red trench coats and Santa hats). I honestly don't mind a few counts during a parade when the band is idle from movement. And as far as the Christmas uniforms, I can see why many don't have them. They only perform in like 2 parades at the most.
So aint nobody gon' say nun, huh? LMAO!
Well...
Shade #2: Alcorn GG's & J-settes
Shade #3: J-settes
Shade #5: Dolls, Divas, Stingettes, Motion, J-settes, Alcorn GG's, (LMAO)
Shade #6: Stingettes, Motion,
Shade #7: ?
Shade #8: Dolls
*Sits in corner & waits...* LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Although the execution was off; one of my favorite routines, choreography wise, would fit into the #1 slot.
I will. But you know the people might eat him up for this. But I'll put my thoughts of which squads.
1. One group of girls kneels down, while another group is dancing, if you are a dance team, you all should be dancing or stay off the field if your routine isn't continuous, STOP the piecemeal crap.
J-settes are nortorious for this. So are their little snotty nosed cousins the Satin Dolls. I always wondered what it was all about, but it isn't bad to me.
2. Stop ending a routine lying flat on your backs, it looks crazy.
J-settes, Satin Dolls, Golden Girls.
3. If you don't know how to choreograph, stunting and rolling around on the ground should NOT be a substitute.
Satin Dolls definitely, and the j-settes for this past season, and those rough chicks from Grambling
4. Every squad should have at least one Christmas costume. (Golden Delight send help)
I don't see the point in them having one. I think Delight maybe does more high profile Christmas events. Who wants to wear a Xmas uniform while marching through the hood?
5. When preforming in parades or public events, STOP the stand routines and choreograph short dance routines. Doing stand routines when you are not in the stands look stupid, be creative, not lazy!
Every HBCU squad seems to do a combination of both. So this applies to all squads.
6. Be more energetic on the field and stop looking so lazy and stiff. Breathe, look and act like you want to entertain an audience.
The sloppy chicks at Grambling. And Ms. Dahill, my stingettes will be on it next season, don't oven bake my girls.
7. Remember quality OVER quantity. 15 girls on the field and only 6 knows the routine looks like a side show.
Satin Dolls are the only ones I can think of and last year's Motion but they have got it together this season.
8. Start choreographing to the music again. Every routine should NOT look the same!
The only squads I can think of are the settes and the satin dolls, no shade to either.
9. Improve your song selections, because song selections were horrible this year!
As far as dance selections as much as I hate to admit all swac schools with the exception of PVAMU, Alcorn and TxSU need to improve their field songs. Give these girls something upbeat to tear it up to and something that people know.
10. If you have a dance-able song selection, dance, that's why you are call a Dance Team!
I agree with that. Don't understand why they sit in the stands idle while the flag lines are bucking them dry. But most squads have improved this. One swac squad that only had 20 counts used to be bad about sitting during songs, but I aint gonna start no mess.
And Ray was wrong for posting that video, because it indirectly called out one of the squads that was listed in the initial complaint lol.
