Meh. Just because the law says they are an adult they aren’t really. I want to set mine up for success not put them on a path they may not be ready for.
Dance/Drill Team (DDT) Fact of the Day 1: We are year round. We spend 11 months generally working. That one month off is during the summer. And even that month off usually requires technique classes or somethings on their own. Can you imagine if your sport was year round?
Today, keeping social distancing at play, we (as an organization) presented our seniors with a basket! Tonight would be opening night for spring show and we wanted them to know we ❤️ them! I can’t believe I haven’t really seen them for almost 2 months 😢
A book study is under way for our officers and socials courtesy of 3 powerful books by

! Re-reading all 3 books and bringing a little positive into my world!
Dear Seniors (I'm not crying... ugh)-
I am so sorry. You didn't deserve this. I love each of you dearly and I am so proud of everything you have accomplished this year. I am always here for you. We will find a way to honor you and give you your last hoo-rah! Lariette Love!

If a boy picks on you he likes you. No! If he picks on you he is building controlling and assault based habits. Being liked shouldn’t be “hurtful” emotionally or physically. That’s toxic logic.
Another mommy brag ❤️ Proof the arts make a difference for kids! My son use to be shy and not really like attention. But he found his passion, and is inspired each and every day through his love of music!
We all think “man I’d like to have a day off from practice.” But you never realize how much you miss something until it’s gone. Because man I would’ve loved to have had nationals practice today! I hope you all are staying healthy Lariettes and Belles! ❤️
6th place OVERALL out of 40 teams! 1st runner up medium division (the largest division). Military, pom and hip hop were the highest scoring routines in our division. Technique award on all routines. Choreography award on all routines! A great end to contest season!
And guess who got 3rd for the entire competition?!? Not only did our Belles win JV grand champs but they were the 3rd place team for the entire event! Another historical moment for our program!

One of the victims of Astrofest was a local dance team kid. If you can help, please do so. Such a senseless tragedy. Many prayers to her family and her dance family.
People don’t realize how much we as directors truly take on from an emotional point of view. We love our kids! My heart hurts for my kids this evening. It hurts for my seniors. I feel sad for them. I try not to cry in front of them but today... I couldn’t help it.
As a director and coach, my heart hurts for every senior losing out on irreplaceable experiences. I truly hope everyone stays healthy. To my seniors- I ❤️ you!
With one day left today's senior spotlight goes to our Colonel, Desiree Akarue. Desiree is a 4 year member & served as part of the original Belle line. Desiree plans to attend Baylor with hopes of going to the medical field. Desiree is also this years homecoming queen

- We love supporting everyone like football, basketball, etc. It sometimes hurts our ❤️ when no one comes to our competitions or shows or when our successes aren’t recognized. We want to feel support too. We act tough, but it means a lot to us.
I have so much to say after some sleep but for now… we are in our second year, first official contest season, mainly freshmen and sophomores, and our first contest we got OVERALL GRAND CHAMPIONS! This is such a huge deal and I’m so a proud!
This year we kick off our first ever “Royal and Knight in Shining Armor” dance! Our first practice with these Knights last night was so much fun! From dads, to uncles, teachers, and more!
Our seniors left their mark and I couldn’t be more proud! Such a special group that I will miss so much! Each one of them holds a very special place in my heart!
10 years! Happy birthday GR! Proud to have spent the past 8 years with you!
A little birthday halftime preview!
I’ve been planning the 10 year for the past year, so excited to see it all finally come together this week!
I’ve wanted to give kids this ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity for so long. Let me tell you, giving them this has been the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my career. This is better than any award. THANK YOU
@LamarCISD
for trusting us to set the bar with this opportunity!
The first time I wore this Strutter uniform I was so excited! Ready like 3 hours before the game in total disbelief I got to do this collegiately. Everytime afterwards I remembered that feeling and got excited. I never took it for granted. That was my motivation. What’s yours?
This right here. The love between Hailee, Will and I. I feel bad for Will as he loses both of us in one swoop. He may be hurting and not wanting me to leave, but like I told him I’ll still come watch minipeps and be at games hands down.
Finished off boot camp with Zumba! Had a great time! But now... practices start for Lariettes while our Belles take on line camp next week! Summer is just flying on by.
