Jasmine You from Legacy Elite was mic’d during the JRC Vault rotation at the 2022 Level 10 DEV Nationals. This is the first time we have wired our alternates at nationals but it was well worth it. Jasmine showed that each member of the team in Region 5 is important as she took the roll of team hype girl to the max. She was a cheerleader, mat setter, high fiver…. pretty much set the tone with her Power Stance! Check out this fun behind the scenes look at the JRC’s on vault.

Judge Christi Kearns explains the new rule changes and then has a group of level 9 and 10’s work through several different examples of rhythm and tempo. This was filmed at the 2022 Level 9 High Tech High Performance Camp.
