Spirits to Iraq?

The Professional Dance Team is on stand-by for a 10 day celebrity tour in Iraq. The news came in December 2008 from Gail with Starfish Events in California. Gail contacted Tiffany to let her know the troops were looking for a Professional Dance Team and the Spirits were chosen. Tiffany has stated: "I hope we get the opportunity to fulfill such a great honor and this would be a memory the team and I would never forget! Thanks for thinking of the Spirits and I hope to work with Gail in my future!"

What has been going on?

We sure have been performing! We have met so many Spirit fans, please don't stop emailing! Here are just a couple of events below. The Hog Wild Days Parade was a hit! The weather was perfect. John Harmes with the Great Jones County Fair is wonderful to work with. John and his staff make a great team. They are professional, organized, and they make sure everyone feels welcomed. Sounds like Tiffany and the CR Spirits! We would also like to mention that we were the 1st to perform on the brand new, enormous size Jones County Fair stage! We don't have any photos of this adventure but just knowing ...

What? Tigers in Vegas, Girls in Swimsuits?

Want a Spirit Poster? Come into the studio and get our "New" CR Spirits Team Posters! Some of Tiffany's favorite professional team shots are below with her reasons why! It takes her hours to decide what she is looking for on her posters before the photos are even taken. Then after a fun photo shoot with Jon at Read Photography it's another few hours of picking the photos. Next comes designing the posters and the credit goes to Mark Jacobson he is fast, he is good, and knows what Tiffany likes. Then off to J&A printing with Jennifer. The CR Spirits go through thousands of ...

Oprah’s Got Spirit?

Oh we hope Oprah gets a little Spirit in her future! Please visit the link below and tell us what you think! If you smile vote once, if you laugh vote twice! http://myown.oprah.com/audition/index.html?request=video_details&response_id=378&promo_id=1 A funny story... Some of the Professional Dance Team Members had brought it to Tiffany Kuehl's attention awhile ago about Oprah retiring from her show. First of all, Tiffany already knew the information and second, she had already checked it off her bucket list to go & watch a taping of the Oprah show. BUT with a smile on her face she told the team, Oprah probably owns her network and the POSITIVE Spirit Reality Show would someday ...

Tiffany’s Bucket List!

What were a few of the Spirit Professional Dance Team Members doing this last weekend? Well, celebrating Tiffany Kuehl's Birthday. If you remember Tiffany turned 40 in February and a few of her closest friends gave her a gift. A gift off her Bucket List. One of her Bucket List adventures were to see the one and only, Goo Goo Dolls in concert! Paulette Petersen, Deatra Waller, Emily Benter, Amy Kuehl, Kaitlin Boyse, and Michelle Crabbs gave her a present she will never forget. Granted Michelle could not join the weekend festivities but she was with them all in Spirit. The concert was in ...

Spirits Photo Shoot

We are getting ready for the 2010 Spirit Posters/Calendars! The Professional Dance Team had their 2010 Photo Shoot at Read Photography on Friday, April 30th. The Spirit Studio had their shots done a couple of weeks prior. Jon Read has always been a supportive sponsor of the CR Spirits. Tiffany met Jon back when she was a Silver Bullet CBA Cheerleader. A business relationship that turned into a wonderful friendship has kept these two still working together. Tiffany can't thank Jon enough for his time and his patients through all the different photos that the girls take. It was a long night but the ...

Spirit Prom 2010

Another wonderful Spirit Ball! This was out 6th year and we decided to change things up a bit and go with a Mardi Gras theme. The night was full of masks, smiles, and laughter. Michelle, Tiffany, and Paulette were ready for a big night! Who is under these masks? I think there is a Former Professional Dance Team member under one of them below... Great looking masks! Wonder what is who is under them? Remove the mask...Shannon! So your Itty-Bitty's can see you! Rachel, Tiffany, and Marie looking good! Tiffany's mom...Shari Saari looks great! One of Crystal's students... Can you find Heather Miller in this photo? Amy, Tiffany, and Kaitlin...loving the ...

The Cedar Rapids Kernels Baseball Season is off to a great start! The CR Spirits Professional Dance Team performed Thursday, April 8th for their first game of the season. It may have been a little chilly, but once the dancing began everyone got warmed up for the start of a great evening game. We hope the Kernels enjoyed the show! Good Luck this season...and will be at many more games! Tiffany had a wonderful conversation with Scott Wilson the Assistant General Manager with the Kernels. She said she will never forget and will never let Scott forget either!

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

What can we say, the St. Patrick's Day Parade was a blast! I think there were more people there to watch the parade and enjoy the day then ever before! Fun Fact: Back in 1994 the St. Patrick's Day Parade was the CR Spirits first event they ever did! The CR Spirits Professional Dance Team teamed up with DPI Quality Custom Finishes for this parade. Cory Kintzel, project manager for DPI, was driving one of the DPI Vans. Mark Debner, president of DPI, was driving a trailer full of SPIRITS! It was hard to have 14 Spirits dancing on a moving trailer. The routines had to be ...
