Our History

On May 11, 1984 at Watkins Junior High School, 27 girls were selected to be the charter members of the Langham Creek Bailadoras. The name Bailadoras was chosen because it means dancer in Spanish.  The Director and founder of the Bailadoras was Robin Cerny.

 

The Bailadoras began their first year of existence at Langham Creek Interim School, now known as Labay Middle School.  The team performed at five football games, several basketball games, and several community events.  There were two dance officers selected every six weeks.  The team also attended numerous dance clinics as participants, and several contests as observers.  Their first Formal was held at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza.  The Holiday Inn was also the sight of their first Awards Banquet.

Cathy Raffield and Robin Cerny were Co-Directors during the 1989-90 school years.  Cathy Raffield served as Director of the 1990-93 seasons.

Mitzi Phillips began her leadership of the Bailadoras in the 1993-94 school years.  The team continued to grow under Mrs. Phillips’ direction to 72 dancers for the 2006-07 school years. The following season Mrs. Phillips announced her retirement, which began a new chapter for the program under the leadership of Mrs. Whitehead.

Mrs. Jennifer Whitehead continued the program legacy beginning with the 2007-08 season. While under her direction the Bailadoras continued to flourish and improve upon their tradition of excellence.  Mrs. Whitehead was Director of the Bailadoras until her move to San Antonio, Texas in 2010.

Mrs. Barbie Parker was announced as  Director of the Bailadoras beginning with the 2010-11 seasons. Mrs. Parker's creative talents, eye for details, and utter dedication has created a team of champions, girls that dance with heart and grit.  Mrs. Parker was Director of the Bailadoras until the Spring of 2018.

Bailadora Logo

The original Bailadora logo was the silhouette of a dancer doing a lay out from a kneeling position. The Bailadoras held an internal contest around 1986-87 to create a new logo. Holly Larsen (a charter member) won the contest with the current Texas dancer design. It says so much about the dance team- Texas proud!
