From Director Mrs. Cris Neel (also Keppel's dance teacher):
- Students are placed based on the knowledge of the routines and how well they are executed. Smiles, energy, sharpness are used as our judging criteria. Dance/drill requirements include the ability to perform splits, single turns, Russians (toe touches) and high kicks. We are looking for team members that are willing to put in the time to learn and perfect these skills. Team dynamics play an important role in judging.
