Workshop and Tryout Info

Hope everyone is enjoying their week off! Mel and Alex will be flying in on Sunday and they are very exciting about the workshop. Please give them your full attention at ALL times! They are very very well trained dancers and you can learn so much from them. Mel and Alex both trained at Larkin Dance Studio in Minnesota and I have so much respect for their dance teachers and studio. They are one of the best studios in the country.

We will be split up by age groups. If you are trying out for the B52's, you will be in the Seniors group. If you are trying out for the Phantoms, you will be in the Teen group. If you are trying out for the SpitFires, you will be in the Junior Group. If you are trying out for the ThunderBoltz and BombShels, you will be in the mini group.


Alex and Mel will be judging you for placement. Always perform and do your best. Please wear dance attire. No big t-shirts please. You can wear loose clothes for the hip hop classes. Bring ballet shoes for ballet and tap shoes for tap if you are in mini-Extreme.

Please bring drinks and food. We will take a 30 minute break to eat. No one will have enough time to leave and run to Sonic, so please bring your lunch and snacks with you. We will have some light snacks and waters for you.

The studio will be open on Thursday and Friday for open rehearsals from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm on Thursday night and Friday during the day. I will post Friday hours later on.

Solos, duo/trios and small groups will be created throughout the year in 2011 - 2012. Students who come to ballet technique and apply their technique correctly in the choreography will be chosen for these spots. We are looking for everyone to perform and really concentrate on your technique this year. We have got to start turning and stretching our feet. We are very excited about the new year!

There will be some specialty classes the week of August 8th for teams only. Watch your blogs for these classes and times.

Good luck to everyone. We love you all!
