Another year was coming to an end. It was Ellevé Showcase time! This year had been an incredible year. Our team had done very well in competition and we were able to go to New York City for our tour and the team had made memories and friendships to last a lifetime. I was very proud of what we had accomplished this year, so this showcase was a bittersweet night.
As always, we began with introductions of each team member escorted by their father or other family member in some cases.
Brooke Coleman and her dad.
Madeline Froerer and her dad
Hannah Harvey and her dad
Laney Melton and her dad
Emily Peery and her dad.
Brittney Peterson and her dad.
Brooke Rawlings and her dad.
Brynn Shaw and her dad.
Bryn Starkey and her grandfathers.

Sydney Jensen and her dad.
Haylie Nelson and her brother.
Jourdyn Reid and her dad.

Madi and Makenna Ellis with their dad.
Emily Kessinger and her dad.
Tori Little and her dad.
After intros, the show continues with performances of all our competition routines, an office routine, senior dance, couples dance, and a new lyrical routine. Some of the girls perform solos too. It is a great way to end a great year. Here are pics from each performance.
Military routine - I loved this year's routine. It was very intense.
I really loved this section of the routine.
This crawling part was so cool!
Kick line!
End pose - great routine!
Sydney Jensen's solo
Emily Kessinger's solo
She is a very talented dancer that I attribute to her ballet training.
Officer dance - I loved our costumes - combining simple pieces from other costumes to make a new one!
They choreographed it together and I was impressed with their creativity.
Brittney did a fun solo that combined lyrical at the beginning and then it changed into a hip hop!
She did a great job performing it!
Dance - Wings! I loved this dance and our costumes! One of my all-time favorites!
So fun to watch and the music was upbeat and catchy!
They always performed it well!
Brandi's solo - she has a very flexible back!
Senior dance - they "relearned" the hip hop routine from their sophomore year.
Get Out of Your Mind!
Haylie's solo.
Loved the bright colors of her costume.
Boy/girl dance!
Fun to learn and fun to perform.
Ellevés only section.
Danielle doing a back flip.
Turn back for what? - boys section.
It had a fun kick line in the routine this year - always a crowd pleaser!
Hip Hop!
Madeline's solo.
Beautiful!
Laney's solo
Amazing!
The 2014-15 Ellevés performing for the first time.
So excited for a new team.
Brynn Shaw's solo
Jamie's solo.
So fun to watch!
Our Diva Housewives character routine
Turned out to be a great routine - but it was stressful getting it to the final stages!
The spoon props - that we tried in three different colors!
Finally went with the green and loved it!
So many fun elements in this routine!
Even added a "rag" to add color and excitement to the routine.
Dedicating our lyrical routine to Bryn Starkey, who had lost her dad suddenly in March.
The title of the routine was Through the Gates, and it was so fitting for the dedication.
Bryn danced perfectly - her dad would have been proud. I'm sure he was watching from above.
Final bows!
To our traditional theme song from the first year - "One Tribe".
Jump!
They loved this year!
Hard to end such a great year!
Very proud of this team - it has been a year to remember for sure!
Seniors!
They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. Once an Ellevé, always an Ellevé!
