CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to each and every team for your success, but first and foremost for always showing good sportsmanship and always being complimentary of each other and every team. It’s not about where you place, it is about learning to perform and learning to show how much character you have when things do not always go as you expected. Dance is an art and it is very difficult to judge. As we always have said, it is an opinion. Our technique scores were very high and broke many ties. That is why it is so important to attend your ballet technique classes and the workshops that concentrate on technique as much as possible.

Tryouts will be held on July 24 and July 25. We will post a schedule soon on our website. Please wear all black dancewear. We will have the University of Tennessee Dance team members judging our tryouts. Please be on your best behavior at tryouts. You do make an impression on these judges and they will mark your score lower if you enter the room with a bad attitude. We will use their scores to pick our teams this year, so please work hard over the next few weeks.

The Elite teams will also be selected from tryouts. Please understand the commitment if you are considering trying out for the Elite teams. If you need more explanation of the Elite teams, please feel free to email us for more info. We will try to work around school activities for rehearsal times, but we will not work around other dance studio schedules. Again, please understand the commitment to be an Elite dancer for Legacy.

We are very blessed to be associated with such wonderful families. The friendships you are creating will be ties that will last a lifetime.
