It was an exciting week for Sue’s Stepper-ettes at the baton twirling and pom pon National Championships held July 21-26 at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana.  Although this national competition is an annual event, the opportunity to compete for a spot on Team USA happens just once every three years. 

The Stepper-ettes began their quest to earn a spot on the coveted USA team on Tuesday, July 22^nd by competing in the preliminary round of the pom pon competition.  Over 25 teams were in contention.  The top 5 teams advanced to the finals held on Saturday, July 26th.  Only one would be named to team USA.  After exciting and well executed routines from all of the top 5 finalists, it came down to two…the Modernettes from Finleyville, Pennsylvania and Omaha’s Sue’s Stepper-ettes.

“Seconds seemed like hours while we waited to hear who would be named the winner,” said team member Rachel Foehlinger.  “Finally the announcements were made and we were named the champions!  We will be going to Italy in 2015!”

The Stepper-ettes Senior Pom team will travel to Europe April of 2015 for the World Championships held in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy.  Way to go ladies!

Thank you very much to all of the students, parents and teachers who helped make our 2014 recital so wonderful.  All three shows were beautiful and the students did an amazing job! Thank you to Jeff Bane and Bruce Fustos for the photos.

Spring is a very busy competition season for the Stepper-ettes!  On March 15th the Stepper-ettes senior teams traveled to Kansas City.  The girls did an absolutely amazing job.  This was the first time a lot of our new routines were revealed and we were very happy with how everything looked.

On Saturday, March 22nd the Stepper-ettes Junior National Team members as well as our Pre-Competition Team members performed at the Miss Shamrock competition held in Bellevue.  It was an early morning but the girls still sparkled!  For many it was their first time performing in a competition atmosphere and we could not have been more proud.  Thank you very much the all of the parents who got up so early and had their daughters dressed and looking beautiful!

A big congratulations to the Stepper-ette's own Aleah Peters and Morgan Miller! They were named 2014-2015 Husker Twirlers and will light up Memorial Stadium in the fall! Aleah has been a member of the Stepper-ettes for 13 years and is a wonderful teacher and role model at the studio. She was on the World Championship team in 2009 and 2012 and is a current member of our Senior Corps. Aleah is also competing in the Miss Nebraska Pageant this June! Morgan Miller returns to the field for a second year. She is an amazing twirler who grew up in Pennsylvania but is now a Husker through and through. Morgan has also joined our Senior Corps and we are so happy to have her. It will be so exciting to see these girls take the field in the fall. Way to go ladies!!

Our 2013 holiday production "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was so much fun!  Thank you very much to all of the students and parents who helped make this year's show so special.  The students did such a great job remembering their routines, smiling, performing and waiting patiently for their turn to go on. Thank you to Stepper-ette Dad Bruce Fustos for taking these wonderful pictures!  Please enjoy!  

Stepper-ettes have been taking the field all over the city this fall!  There are still a few games left.  Be sure to go and cheer them on!

The Stepper-ettes competed at the 2013 baton twirling national championships held at Notre Dame University from Tuesday, July 23rd through Saturday, July 27th.  The 130 member team won 11 national championship titles and brought home 4 traveling traveling trophies!  (a studio record!)  Here are a few photos from the week.  Congratulations to all of the girls and two boys for representing Stepper-ettes Studios and the state of Nebraska so well!  The team worked very hard all  year and it certainly paid off in the end!

Our 40th Anniversary Recital was absolutely amazing!  We could not be more proud of how each performance turned out.  The colorful costumes and backdrop, amazing venue, and the smiling faces of each and every student made our 2013 Recital extra special.   Thank you very much to all of the parents and Stepper-ette instructors for helping make each of our three shows run so smoothly.  We could not have done it without you!  Here is a slideshow from the Recital.  A very special thank you to Jeff Bane and Bruce Fustos for taking such beautiful photos.
