Ice Bears Hunnies to host youth dance clinic

date: 01/23/2009

By attending the Hunnies Youth Dance Clinic on Saturday, January 24, 2009 at the Greene Magnet School, girls ages 5-15 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 nine 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.

"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 the 24th from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
