Rising Stars Shine Bright at Junior Ice Girls Clinic

From TexasStarsHockey.com

Over thirty aspiring young dancers participated in the first ever Texas Stars Jr. Ice Girls Dance Clinic on Saturday, June 11. Instructed by members of both Texas Stars and Dallas Stars Ice Girls squads, the clinic was the first of many events aimed to involve young participants of the community with the Texas Stars Ice Girls.

Dancing technique and instruction was the order of the day, but the fun didn’t stop there. Following an Ice Girls themed arts and crafts session, participants were taught basic etiquette, self-confidence, and what it’s like to be called an Ice Girl.

Keeping energy levels high, everyone was treated to a quick snack break before it was time to dance. Not only did the girls put their dancing skills to the test, but they learned real routines used by the Ice Girls.

The clinic wrapped up as each young star was invited to show off dances they had learned in front of their parents. At the end of the day nobody was left empty handed as the girls were given their own Ice Girls goodie bag. Each participant had the option to take photos and get autographs from their favorite Ice Girls.

“It was a fantastic day,” said Texas Stars Ice Girls Director, Kristin Ditto. “Everyone had a fun time with the dances. I think we made an big impact and hopefully inspired a few young girls with the basics of etiquette and self confidence.”

With the success of the first clinic, planning has already begun on future Junior Ice Girls events.

“I think the clinic was an important step for the Texas Stars Ice Girls program, and we are looking forward to growing the Junior Ice Girls in the community.”
