Ice Bears’ Hunnies to host first youth dance clinic of the year

date: 01/20/2010

The Knoxville Ice Bears Hunnies have been performing at home games since 2002, and they have many young fans. Many of the young girls attending the Knoxville Ice Bear games wish they could dance at center ice during intermission like the Hunnies Dance Squad.
 
Now they have a chance. 
 
By attending the Hunnies Youth Dance Clinic on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at the Greene Magnet School, girls ages 5-17 will learn dance techniques, skills and routines from the Hunnies.  In attending the dance clinic, participants will have the opportunity to perform at center ice with the Hunnies during a home playoff game.
 
The Hunnies are a group of eight local women who not only enjoy performing for the Ice Bear home crowds, but also enthusiastically involve themselves in community service. The Hunnies’ mission is to have an impact well beyond dance entertainment at the games, and they wish be positive role models for young fans. To fulfill this mission, the Ice Bears organization started the Junior Hunnies program this season.
 
“The dance clinic gives us an opportunity to interact with young Knoxville Ice Bears fans. Through this interaction, we are able to encourage increased physical activity to girls with a wide range of ability levels. We make the event as fun as possible with activities such as dance skills, a visit by our mascot Chilly and games,” commented Hunnies captain Erica Wilkerson.

This will be the second Hunnies Youth Dance Clinic, and sign-up attendance has almost doubled already.  The clinic will be held on January 30, 2010, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.  The cost is $35 per girl and includes the dance clinic, t-shirt and lunch.  Pre-registration is required by January 25, 2010.

Dance teams are welcome.  Register 10 or more particpants and receive $5 off each clinic fee.
