Professional Team in September!

Some of the CR Spirits Professional Dance Team members were at the Britney Spears Concert!  What can anyone say…Britney Spears put on a unbelievable production.

Tiffany and Paulette starting the day off in Des Moines, IA!

 

They were having too much fun…the Des Moines Police were keeping an eye on them!

Tiffany and Paulette were treated wonderful at their hotel!

Getting Ready For the BIG NIGHT!

Sally, Kaitlin, Tiffany & Paulette

The Spirits had awesome seats…The show was something that you would have to see to believe!

Tiana Brown from Cedar Rapids, IA…What an extraordinary dancer!  Tiffany remembers judging her during her high school auditions…Tiffany remarks “She made an 8 count of walking in a circle look like a show!  She was going somewhere back then and now just look at her!  Congrats Tiana”!

Britney’s leaving the stage…what a night!

Paulette, Tiffany, Liz and Kaitlin…We miss you Liz hope you are loving Florida…maybe Florida needs a little Spirit?

Hey you guys look familar.  How do I know you guys?  Tiffany, Tiana, & Paulette

Time for something to eat!

After the concert the Spirits had found a purse.  It had ID, Cash, and a Charge Card…So the Spirits descided to return this the next day to the address on the ID…Paulette and Tiffany were off…Let’s just say they were extremely thankful!

It is no longer Ms. Kaitlin Johnston it is the Mrs. Kaitlin Boyse!  Congrats Kaitlin & Lee!

Amy, Carla, and Ashleigh!  Carla we miss you by the way YOU look great!

Tiffany, Paulette, Emily (It was great to see you at auditions) Michelle, and Deatra!

Tiffany helping Kaitlin out!

What a beautiful wedding…We wish you both the best!

Here are some Spirits that were at the wedding.  We are missing Kaitlin of course for this shot!

Tiffany and Sally

Congrats to the both of you and just for your information your wedding day is the same day as Calvin’s Birthday!

 

Studio in September!

Who is leaving the studio because they are too old?  That would be Crystal, Laura, and Samantha from the CR Junior Spirits!

The Junior Spirits are ages 13-17.  The reason we stop at age 17 is, it gives an opportunity for the girls to have a year off and grow a little more into themselves, before they might want to Audition for the CR Spirits Professional Dance Team.

One of the Junior Classes saying Good-Bye!  The girls all signed a t-shirt for them!

You might be wondering if we do this for all of our students that leave.  This case is a little different.  Crystal (Tiffany’s Daughter) was one of the 1st students in the studio for ages 4-6, Samantha was probably the 2nd and Laura she has been in class with them for the last 4 years.  We will miss you all!

Marion Swamp Festival at the Marion Square Park!  What a beautiful day!

Here are a couple of our Itty-Bitty Spirits with their teacher Babette Mulford!

Here are some of the Tiny Spirits with their teacher Shannon Debner!

Only one Li’l Spirit here to show off her dancing ability for the crowd but for now a shot with her teacher Kaitlin Johnston!

Here are some Junior Spirits with their teacher Amy Kuehl!  By the way this is Crystal’s and Samantha’s last performance!

Getting ready to show off…

Here we go, PERFORMANCE TIME!

Also this month,

Congratulations Crystal who made 2009 Homecoming Court!  We are all proud of you.  You maybe done dancing with the Junior Spirits but you still work in the Spirits Studio…So Congrats!

Last photo of the night…After dancing for hours what a week to of memories!

Spirits Year End Bash!

It is that time of year again…The CR Spirits Professional Dance Teams Year End Party!  The night began at Dublin’s Pub.  Matt, Connie, Chad, & Garrett made the evening relaxing and the atmosphere was perfect for an incredible night with the most beautiful women in Cedar Rapids, IA!

One thing about the Spirits, we take lots of photos, so please enjoy taking a peak of our fabulous night!

Tiffany & Paulette ready to start the party!

Amy & Carla….what are you two GAL’s up to?

Ashleigh, Tiffany, & Kaitlin, soon to be Mrs. Kaitlin!

This is the 2009 Rookie Girls.  Paulette has been with the CR Spirits for more than 10 years, but if you take a break….the first year you come back you are a ROOKIE!

Michelle, Tiffany, & Deatra!  Let’s get started!

Thank you Garrett for keeping the drinks coming…

Starting the party off, each member was to bring a photo of their favorite picture from the CR Spirits!  AND then, they had to tell why!

Paulette started with hers…..Dick Clark’s Rock’in New Years Eve Bash in LA was her favorite photos!

Deatra reading hers…Make sure if you see one of the Professional Team Members ask them what photo they picked and why!

Gift Time!

Every year Tiffany says Thank You to the team and every year the parties are different but there is one thing in common.  The girls on this team are remarkable and with all of them working together it makes them grow into strong confident women.  That is the key to success!

What’s that shirt say?

Award Time!

Tiffany will be leaving for California on Saturday, September 6th.  She is receiving a Pink Picture Frame that is not to filled with anything until, we have photos from the FIRST CR Spirits Dance Clinic held in California in 2010!  You heard it right, the Spirits are working Cali in 2010.  Tiffany has felt honored to be asked by Tiffany Kuehl to run a Spirits Professional Team & Studio in California and even thought she was aksed because they share the same name:)

Carla is receiving a baby boy photo album for her new journey that is about to take place.  Carla has no desire to leave the room, she has continued to come to practices and performances as a helper this last year, but it’s time for the big change.  Remember, it has been shown over the years…You can always come back!

Your Rookie Girl 2009…Danica!

Are you surprised Amy?

Your 2009 Spirit Girl of the Year….Amy!
