Danyelle LaDuke

My role as a Louisville Lightning Lady was to do side line dances for the professional soccer team at Mockingbird Valley sports complex.

• My role as an assistant coach was more towards keeping technique and placement in line during practices and warmups.
• I also worked with my dancers on each routine they were given and helped them understand the movement that was expected of them.
• I sat on the judge panel for try outs two years in a row and also helped choreograph two try out routines.

• As a young competitive dancer, my duties were to practice technique, learn basic and essential stretch routines, learn at least two competitive routines for that season and to learn side line dances for sports games.
• As a high school competitive dancer, I began improving my technique thouroughly and conditioning my body for jazz, Pom and contemporary ensemble routines. I worked my way from the back of the choreographies as a freshman to front center as a senior. My responsibilities as a team member and most valuable dancer were to help other dancers learn how to stretch correctly, help them with technique and how to improve things like fouette’s and double and triple pirouettes as well as scorpions, toe touches, spikes, jetes, and countless others.
