The Grace Christian Academy Varsity Pom Squad returned from a multi-day camp earlier this month with a host of team and individual awards. The squad attended the Universal Dance Association camp in Gatlinburg, TN. Team members persevered through long, hot days as they worked on individual dance skills and techniques. Dancers also learned multiple routines to be judged at the end of camp.
GCA dancers walked away with superior ribbons in multiple categories—also earning overall top team awards.
There were nine cheerleaders named All-Americans. Congratulations to Abigail Seaman, Lily Walsh, Chiannah Ruckart, Elise Rymer, Zoe Helton, Anna Kindig, and Karoline Kerle.

“I am immensely proud of this team and how they conducted themselves at camp,” head coach Kelsey DesLauriers said. “Their hard work and dedication were exciting to watch, as they bonded as a team and also forged friendships with other teams.”

The GCA Pom Team had a great experience at the Universal Dance Association Camp in St. Augustine, Florida! The team competed with a "home routine" that they had prepared prior to camp and a "performance routine" that they learned while there. Senior Lindsey Morgan also tried out and was selected as an All American.
Congratulations to this outstanding group!
The GCA Pom Team competed the first night of camp with their "Home Routine" that was choreographed and rehearsed before leaving for camp. The team was awarded a blue ribbon for this performance, the highest recognition possible.
While at camp, the group learned a "Performance Routine" as a team and learned two other routines which they performed individually. They were evaluated on the "Performance Routine" and received a blue ribbon.
GCA upperclassmen tried out for All American and Lindsey Morgan, senior, was selected. Also during camp, the “Pin It Forward” pin is given to two girls from the entire camp who have demonstrated leadership, work ethic, kindness, and spirit. The two recipients are asked to give their pins to someone else at the camp who shows the same characteristics. On the first night of camp, Lauryn Baker, junior, received a pin, and on the second night Marianne Gabriel, senior, received one.
We're so proud of this talented group, not only for their excellence in performance, but for their remarkable work ethic and leadership skills!
