ProDance 2006 Rocked the Desert
Ever wonder where and how the dancers from the NBA, NFL, Arena Football, and other professional and collegiate sports dance teams do their pre-season training? You had to look no further than the LaQuinta Resort and Club in LaQuinta, California, July 30–August 2, 2006.
(PRWEB) August 4, 2006 -- When Rosalyn Jones, founder/CEO of ProDance, welcomed nearly 400 pro sports dancers, directors and choreographers representing the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe in the Fiesta Ballroom Sunday, July 30, everyone knew this year they were in for something special.
Sunday night, John Peters, a seven year ProDance veteran choreographer, took the entire camp through the first of two special all camp routines benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The routine using pink towels was just the beginning. The fantastic duo of Tabitha & Napoleon Dumo led everyone in an awesome routine to close the night. www.GoGirlengergy.com provided the boost to get the dancers through their first day of excitement.
Monday started off with more surprises. At breakfast, each attendee stopped by the booth of Satin Stitches and received their free pair of booty shorts.
The amazing line up of choreographers -- Kimberly Baum, Mina Ortega, Marina Ortega, Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo, John Peters, Shane Sparks, Barry Youngblood, Shawnette Heard, Chio Yamada, Adrienne Della, and Mandy Schulke -- brought the house down with the most spectacular choreography created exclusively for ProDance.
Tuesday morning the entire group wore their old school socks, complements of www.Skatersocks.com. The socks were perfect for what the incredible Chuck Maldonado had in store for them. With his unique style of dance and Greek step show style, Chuck Maldonado gave the girls their own version of what we’ll all see in the upcoming movie "Step Show" coming out in 2007.
Tuesday break out sessions included the second routine specifically designed for Breast Cancer Awareness and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. John Peters taught a beautifully inspiring routine using pink dance ribbons from www.Ten-o.com.
The ProDance experience for exhibitors and sponsors was overwhelming. Each company represented made contacts that will last far beyond ProDance, and those who brought products to sell were over-run with buyers.
ProDance 2006 had over 70 teams represented including; Boston Celtics Dance Team, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Oakland Raiderettes, Scottish Rockettes, Cranes Dance Team from Japan, Philadelphia 76ers, BYU, and USC.
‘It was so great the ProDance event and I cannot forget that experience forever. I would like to introduce this event with my team or the other teams of cheerleading in Japan”. Hiromi Mamiya. “Cranes” Japan
“ProDance was one of the best experiences I have ever done. I have learned so much these past few days and can't wait to take it back to the squad” Angela Patton Tulsa 66ers Dance Team
“I just wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH for an AMAZING ProDance experience! This was my first, but there will be MANY more in my future ... needless to say, I'm hooked!”
“This event so TOTALLY rocks! I wish wish wish I could have brought my college team here instead of taking them to UDA. Next year ... if it's okay with you guys.
I am blown away by ProDance. It's even better than I thought it was going to be ... and I had really high expectations!” Dyanne Loput Miami Heat Dance Team
These are just a few comments from ProDance 2006 attendees; the buzz surrounding the dance industry, the NFL, NBA, AFL, and other pro leagues around the world is overwhelming.
No one should miss ProDance 2007.
