Default Twirlers, Cheerleaders, Dancers

There was a recent post on a Social Media broadcast that the Twirlers, Cheerleaders, Dancers would no longer be allowed to perform for T.V. activities.
Not sure if this is valid or not, seems strange, anyone know for sure?
If so, who made this determination?

There have been a number of letters to the editor on the news site which shall not be named.

I assume Villages Entertainment is responsible for the entertainment at the squares.

Well, it’s the same with any advertisement, always looking for something new and what sells.

Better to say no longer invited to perform.

I would say go anyway. Look for a spot that will accommodate your group and twirl, cheerlead, or dance to your hearts content.

Why not, how would it be any different than a group of line dancers taking over a spot to do their thing?

Yes, it would simply look like a class having a practice session. As long as they don’t bother any one why not?

The Villages would have less culpability if they rescinding any kind of invitation to such events to cheerleaders, stilt walkers and other such professional performers.

My wife, who I love dearly, is the queen of reading headlines only told me about this article and me the king of yes dear did not let it register properly so as we “discussed” this news she could not tell me why these groups are being cancelled. I have read only opinions and guesses but can anyone point me to the full story to get the reasoning behind it.

I am a member of one of the groups involved. We have been informed by The Villages Entertainment Department that resident groups will still be invited to perform at events. They are realigning groups with events that compliment the overall theme. They are changing how events are planned going forward, and it will be interesting to see how this evolves.

While at yoga last week, discussion with 6 group performers, they are not being eliminated. However as the Villages grows so do new group performers. They are waiting for official notification from TV entertainment, on new protocols. Guessing each group would submit type of performance and availability. Then either a lottery like craft shows, maybe a group may only perform once a year.

Their thoughts less groups performing at events, because at some events even for those performing it could be a little chaotic and time-consuming.

There was a subtle smirk on how some performers groups would fit a “ Themed Event”.(not my words, but how many events would hula, cheer, twilling fit?)

The six remained positive, there has never been a guarantee for club performance. If any group expects they are entitled to live audience performances, instead of just a club, there should be an awakening.

Two even said “My spouse doesn’t even show up until all the performances are done”. He still loves me, but….
