Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything on this site! Well... it is the off-season, I guess! Anyways, it's been an eventful summer for me in my photographic endeavors. I've been busy with photographing weddings and events all around the Sacramento area. In the midst of all of that I did have a chance to check out the SKD mini-camp held in downtown Sacramento this summer. This camp is for all the dancers who made the roster for this upcoming season. The picture above shows the rookie dancers signing their Kings contracts - a very exciting moment for sure!
The dancers from the previous year didn't have to come as early as the rookies. I caught up with them outside the conference room while the rookies were doing their thing. It was great seeing all the girls who made it back on the team! They are a very strong and talented group, no doubt.
Of course the person behind all of SKD is Jenn Santich. She organized the camp and is the boss when it comes to the Kings Dance team. Jenn runs a tight and organized ship that always impresses. I could tell that she was eager to get started with this year's group.
The rookies got a run-down of the Kings organization and how it operates. They will have to be ambassadors for the Kings as they represent the team at many events throughout the year. Being an SKD is not just about dancing on the court! There really is a lot that goes into this job.
After all of the paperwork, the girls got to the real work. Jenn organized a special yoga class for the girls. They were definitely learning some new balance techniques as they attended the class. Already being great athletes, the SKD picked up what to do in no time.
I'm sure the SKD will once again soar to new heights this upcoming season. The team is strong and the excitement is higher than ever. These ladies are going to kill it on the court!
