Laney Smith, a freshman at Lone Peak High School, is one of more than 650 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. who will be performing in the London New Year’s Day Parade.
The individuals invited to perform in the parade qualified for the trip after being selected as an All-American at a summer camp hosted by one of the Varsity Spirit camp brands.
All-Americans are selected to try out based on superior cheerleading, dancing and leadership skills at camps across the country. Only the top 10 percent of the more than 325,000 cheerleaders and dancers who attend the Varsity Spirit summer camp sessions earn the chance to march in the holiday parade.
Laney will be among parade performers from all over the world. The theme of this year’s parade is “ShowTime!” and is left open to each troupe’s interpretation. There will be 10,000 cheerleaders, dancers, marching bands, acrobats and performers representing 20 countries worldwide in the 2018 parade.
One of London’s biggest annual events, the parade is seen by nearly 300 million people around the world. In addition to cheering in the parade, All-Americans will have the chance to tour some of London’s most historic sites during their seven-day stay.
“I am most looking forward to meeting all of the other cheerleaders that are going to be in London with me,” Laney said. “I am most excited about that because the cheerleaders are from all over the country and it will be very interesting to meet cheerleaders that have had a totally different high school cheer experience. I am really honored to be named an All-American because so few girls that try out are named and this name shows the hard work that cheerleaders have put into cheering.”
“This is the 30th year we’ve been able to bring these talented cheerleaders and dancers to London, where they can showcase their skills to a very enthusiastic international audience, and explore the rich cultural heritage of this great city,” said Mike Fultz, international event coordinator for Varsity Spirit.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
