6652356099?profile=originalAs you may well know, "The Thrill of More than a Billion Eyes- The Prancing Jaycettes/J-settes" of Jackson State University have a very rich and talented lageacy... The organization itself was formed and founded in 1971, by former twirler and accomplished performer, Ms. Shirley Middleton-Blakely... The J-settes were formed from the twirler/majorette body that was already present within the band program many years before; thus transitioning into an outstanding dance performance unit in the fall of 1971.

There have been a number of powerful, strong, and memorable Prancing J-settes and captains throughout their 45 years of performing excellence, for which they are celebrating this year.

Whom are your favorite and/or memorable J-settes and captains?????

    I hope the next captain actually takes the time to give us classic throwbacks this season.
  • I wanna see if this new squad can raise the bar and set a new standard. I want this season to be so great that we talk about it for years. Can't be any slackin or half steppin. From what I saw in 2015, Chloe seems to have the girls doing more dancing as opposed to stunting throughout the entire performance. Dom's era gave me a little old school vibe sort of like Michelle Spurlocks era (86' & 87'). High energy, poise, Grace, and some stunts here and there.
  • Well according to Charlotte the sponsor chooses what uniform will be worn not the captain

  • In the main post heading pic, all of these J-settes are actually short... Their poise, stature, and stance is what makes them look tall in the photo.

  • Wow, well that is a change... During my years Aquita and Niklia choose the uniforms that squad wore per game/performance.
