SpitFires only for now. Thanks!

New Billing Systems

We are in the process of implementing a new billing system over the next few days. This new system will create monthly tuition invoices for us automatically and will save us alot of computer time. It will also email invoices to our customers. So, do not be alarmed if you receive an invoice/statement via email. We are also hoping to add the ability for you to pay your bill on-line very soon.








One note: We had to go back to the middle of August and rebuild our data, so we added the costumes (entire balance) as a line item on each statement. Some of the statements will have the first $100 deposit if it was invoiced or paid before August 10 - 14. The $100 already billedwill be subtracted from your total costumes billed on the new invoice. If your costume deposit was not billed until after August 15, you will see one invoice for the total costume balance.

For example:
Lola - $200 total
Proud Mary - $200 total
If you already had a $100 deposit billed, you will see the $100 deposit billed and probably paid by the majority of you and then you will see a new invoice for $300. Which totals the $400 costume total. All payments will be entered to offset any deposits that you have already made. Please feel free to ask any questions. We just went ahead and billed total costume balances since they will be due sooner than later and this gives you a chance to be prepared.




Thanks so much!

Menu for Monday, September 24

Two slices of pizza (choose from cheese or pepperoni) dessert and a water. $6 Email Heather Stahlecker at Heathermc17@gmail.com

Wednesday, September 19 menu

Spaghetti, Salad, Bread and a Cookie plus a drink choice


Cost is $6

Anyone can sign up at the studio or email mkmiecik@comcast.net

If you decide you want to order the group picture, Jodi made extra copies. You can call her and she can mail you a photo. They truly wonderful pictures of all the groups.

Goals and Evaluations for 2012-2013

We would like to begin a program that we wanted to put in place last year to track each individual student's progress based on their goals. We would like for each student to list their goals for this semester on an evalution sheet that will be provided to you this week.


The students will receive feedback from their instructors on how to accomplish their goals. We are hoping this new system helps track growth for our students on an individual basis.

Tumbling on Thursdays 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

We are adding back tumbling on Thursdays from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm for $5 (pay the teacher as you attend).  Our new teacher is Mrs. Meredith Roberts.  Mrs. Meredith was a former University of Tennessee Knoxville Cheerleader.  This class is not mandatory but we like to offer it so that we can add tumbling into our dances.  

New Saturday Schedule September 8

We have a new Saturday Schedule beginning on Saturday, September 8. It is posted on our website: www.TheLegacyDance.com/blog. click on the 2012-2013 schedule and view the Saturday schedule. Please let us know if you have any questions about which group you are in. Hope this schedule works for everyone. Thanks so much!

The $200 deposit per students covers the $100 line dance costume (both lines are getting made now) and the $100 large group deposit.

Music Requirements for the Year

The SpitFires, ThunderBoltz and BombShells will be dancing to the greatest version of Proud Mary!  Thanks so much to our music producer for always creating amazing music for our students!  We would like for everyone to get a small cd holder to carry all their music to all competitions.   We will be burning everyone a copy of each song as the songs become finalized.

Line Costume

Thanks to you who have stopped by for your fittings.      Please stop in and get measured and pay your money ($100) before Friday if you want to be in this dance.  Thanks so much!  

BombShells, ThunderBoltz and SpitFires Fitting

Hello everyone, believe it or not, it's that time again...Fit samples for our 2013 Line Dance will be in the studio before next week. Unfortunately we have to move quickly to get all the production line students fitted and get the samples back to our seamstress and unfortunately, our teams are not selected yet but on first day back ....Monday, August 13 we must have the new ThunderBoltz and SpitFires in the studio for a fitting during your scheduled class times. This includes all ThunderBoltz and SpitFires line members.


All new BombShells, please drop by the studio any time between Tuesday, August 7 thru Thursday, August 9 between the hours of 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm for your fitting. We measured some of the BombShells but the samples that they are sending us will be more accurate, so please come for your fitting even if you have already been measured. 


Also, please be ready to pay $100 costume deposit (some of the BombShells have already paid) to send on the first day back. There will no bill later for this. If the $100 deposit is not paid, the student will not have a costume and therefore not be in the dance. Sorry, this is how it must be.

Thanks so much!  So excited about the new year!

We can get a price package together as soon as we get a total of students interested. Email us asap. Thanks so much! TheLegacyDance@gmail.com

Lots of Ballet at Summer Camp 2012

So thrilled to have Zach at our Summer Camp starting on Monday, August 6th! We have re-worked the schedule a bit to allow Zach to teach one day and come back on Thursday for review and judging. Please see the revised schedule on the website untile Summer Dance 2012 link at the top of our home page. It’s going to be a great week!

Tryout Info

bombshells  this tryout info does not apply to you but still like for you to know and see information that everyone else sees:

Hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer! Can't believe it's time for our 2012 Summer Camp and Tryouts! We are so excited to begin a new year! We hope everyone is excited as we are to work hard in 2012 and really shine in 2013. We are working on getting a tumbling program established but do not have that finalized yet. Alex will continue to be our ballet teacher and we are hoping for a big commitment from our 3 oldest teams to step up and work hard in her classes. Team Workshops for our 3 older teams will continue on a mandatory basis. Please wear your pink tinks, leo, hair in bun and pink ballet shoes as Alex as requested when we begin back.

Just to clear up a few questions about tryouts:

1. You can wear any color you want to tryouts. Be creative as you would like to be, but please understand that we do not add points or take points away based on what you are wearing at tryouts. You will be judged on your dancing abilities and performance abilities only.

2. Solos, duet/trios and small groups WILL BE selected from the TOP scores, and NOT based on the students who have the best tryout dance attire or because they take private lessons. This is not a popularity contest. This level of dance takes complete commitment and understanding that the student wants to commit to dance as their NUMBER 1 activity. It takes students who try to apply the corrections that they are given daily in class and tries not to have be given the same corrections over and over. Performance ability is a major key. You will not get a solo by being reserved with your moves and reserved with your personality. Our very qualified judges who do not work with the students on a daily basis will be responsible for selecting students to fill these slots. We are spending alot of money on hiring qualified judges for the week and on Saturday to make sure the tryouts are handled fairly.


Things that will add points to your tryout scores:


1. Flexibility
2. Good Lines, use your turn out, open your chest, lengthen your neck, REALLY REALLY STRETCH YOUR FEET use the technique Alex and I have work with you all on this summer - Not bent knees and flexed feet and NEVER EVER WALK ON YOUR HEELS.
3. Strong, Alive Arms
4. Personality and performance abilities
5. Knowing your choreographing you learn in the workshop and performing it and not just going through the movements. If you do not know your choreography, this will not be good.
6. If you have any special tricks, work on them to show. Turns, leaps, tumbling

Nationals Article in the Nolensville Dispatch

Look for the July 20th Nolensville Dispatch. There will be a full page article and picture of the Grease group.

2012 - 2013 Team Group Photos and Headshots

Please put on your calendars...2012-2013 Company group photos on Saturday, August 18. Time to be announced soon. Also, we will be doing headshots for anyone interested. The headshots will be put into the 2013 recital annual.

Ready, Set, GO!

Here we go again! It's costuming time again! Believe it or Not! One of our seamstresses will be able to do our BombShell, ThunderBoltz and SpitFire Line dance costume right after tryouts! Just want to prepare everyone to be ready to pay your costume deposit soon after tryouts because she will have to have half down to begin the costumes. We are so forutnate to have her company offer to make our costumes. She has cut back on the number of custom costumes but has given us the opportunity to work in at least this line dance with her. Just a heads up to be prepared to move fast after tryouts to get our deposits in and not to miss out on this opportunity! So excited for tryouts!

So proud!

So very proud of all of our Legacy Dance students on a wonderful job at nationals!


Summer Session 2 begins on Monday, July 9th! It is very important to attend summer classes to work on new skills. We have very limited time during the year with choreography and dances that we rarely get opportunities to work on learning new things. We will try to have more day camps as well to work on turning and tricks. Watch the Blogs for these camps. Stretch as much as possible this summer and really use your ballet bands to work on your feet daily.

So Proud of our BombShells!

So very proud of our BombShells!  Let's have a great week in Gatlinburg!  Love you all!  Safe trips to everyone!  Remember to arrive 2 hours early and ready to dance! 

NATIONALS VIDEOS

Good morning... I talked to the folks who are doing the videos at Nationals and they let me know that based on our 31 entries and 32 families (so far) that the cost per video will be $35.00 each. If we get up to 40 families, the price will go to $32.00 - not a super big savings.


Each family can either write a check for $35.00 payable to Take 2 Video and give to me or whoever is at the desk and I will collect them tonight OR they can go to the video table at the competition and give them a check or credit card. They need to tell them they are part of the Legacy Dance Studio team.
On the first day, I plan to give them our form with all of the dances and the families listed that have signed up in advance along with any checks that I received.
Hope this makes sense!!! Let me know if there are any questions...
Thanks!!!!
Melissa Kmiecik

Note from Video guy at Stage One Nationals

I think there is a sign up sheet in the studio for Nationals DVD's. Here is the information that we have received about this today...


Dear Studio Representative,


Take 2 Productions will be providing video and photo services at the Stage One - Gatlinburg Nationals. I am writing you to try to get together a Studio Compilation DVD for your Studio. A Studio Compilation DVD is a DVD of all of your studio's routines with a menu so that you can go right to whatever dance you desire to watch. This offer uses the power of a group purchase to provide you and your dance families an opportunity to purchase several routines at a huge discount, all on a custom DVD for your studio.

If your parents buy an individual custom DVD of their routines, they will spend $30 for the 1st routine, $20 for the 2nd routine, and so on. So if they buy 2 routines this way they will be spending $50 on only 2 routines. This is not a bad deal for a custom made personal DVD with professional quality video of your dances.

However, your dance families can get ALL of your studios routines on a single DVD or DVD SET for $35 to $55 each with the power of a large group purchase. This way they can have all of their routines as well as all of their friend's routines for hours of enjoyment and learning. In addition, we will provide you with a couple of complimentary DVD's for studio use as you see fit. You must sign up for a minimum of DVD's. And, as an added bonus for nationals, we will do a video introduction section on your DVD where the dancers introduce themselves. We will have to schedule a time sometime during the weekend to get this done. We will also be running many specials on photos in Branson. Please tell your parents to check out photos after their dances!

With your studio's amount of 19 entries I am giving a preliminary quote of $42 each with a minimum of 12 DVD's purchased.

Note from Legacy: We have 32 entries, I am guessing this is a cover letter. I am sure he will give you a good deal either way.


19 routines should fit on a single DVD or 2 DVD set



Please if you have questions about your ability to reach this amount contact me and we can try to adjust your quote to fit your needs.

I know you are very busy so please give this to a dance team mom and put her in charge of contacting the others and working with me.
Attached is a .pdf of a Studio Compilation DVD order form. The form attached allows you to list all of your routines and also has a worksheet list on the right hand side for you to keep track of the dance families who buy and how they paid. We will accept a single studio payment of check or credit card, or we will accept multiple payments by check, cash or credit card from your dance families that you can collect as you sign them up. You have all week to get this done and turn in to us. Just please get this turned in to us by the end of the competition week.

Thank You and Congratulations

I have to let you all know that I continue to receive several emails daily congratulating us on a wonderful performance and show. So many continue to say how amazed they are at the talent at our studio and what a great show you guys put on!


Thank you ALL for your constant dedication. I know how hard you all work and I truly appreciate your love for dance and each other.

Nationals Information

I know it's summer and alot of you are ready to rest, but let's keep in mind we only have 2 more weeks to feel really really good about our dances. This year's nationals is going to be really tough. It's going to be a great honor to make it to the Shootout. Please come to your rehearsals for the next 2 weeks and then we will take a break.

Phantoms and B52's are welcome to come to as many ballet techniques and leaps and turns as they would like to attend. B52's can attend the Phantoms and Phantoms can attend the B52s. We have invested too much time and money not to excel at nationals. Thanks to you all!


National Finals Shootout Championship Information



The Shootout Championship Show will take place at the end of the regular National Competition and consist of (at least) the EIGHT top scoring routines in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior). Shootout numbers will be chosen from all performance levels and from small groups, large groups and lines. A studio may only be represented once in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior); thus each studio may have a maximum of FOUR routines competing in the Shootout. Shootout Champions, 1st and 2nd Runners Up will be presented in each age group. Shootout Champions will receive $250 cash plus a $250 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition. First Runners Up will receive a $200 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition, and 2nd Runners Up will receive a $100 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regionals.

Secondary Qualification:
A studio may qualify a SECOND Shootout routine in each Age Group if:
1. The routine's score would have originally qualified it for the Shootout.
2. The two qualifying teams have completely different performers.

No previously-qualified routines will be eliminated due to Secondary Qualification. If Secondary Qualification occurs, the Show will consist of more than eight routines in each age group.

Thank you!

Thank you is not enough to express the gratitude for the amazing gift from you all. I do not expect or deserve such generosity. I am truly blessed and so thankful for you all. I could not have received a better gift for the studio. My laptop is definitely on it's last few days. I can't wait to start using this. Thanks also for the gift cards for me and Jane for the spa! We love you all so much!

Both ends of the sidewalk tunnel will be open for accessing the stage door entrance. Please enter the tunnel at 5th Ave. or 6th Ave. You won’t be able to enter the tunnel in the middle of the UNION STREET block.

1. Rehearsal 2 is mandatory for everyone. This is such a wonderful day of fun and friendships with teammates. Bring your cameras!

2. Bring your coolers (on wheels would be helpful for you) and a blanket. Please bring non-colored drinks such as sprites and waters. Please bring plenty of snacks and your dinner. There are a few restaurants close to TPAC but there really isn’t a lot of time to go eat and get back. Our shows move fast and we stay on time. Plus EVERYONE needs to be present for the awards ceremony.

3. Rehearsal 2 is in black dance clothing again. Please arrive with your hair and makeup ready for your first dance. This will save you time later for our dress rehearsal.

4. The non-dress rehearsal begins at 2:00 pm. We will not wait on anyone. Not trying to be mean, but we have a strict time schedule that we must stay on. We will not take our intermission during this rehearsal.

5. The TPAC production staff will be working with Shawn on lighting during this rehearsal. Please do not judge the lighting or complain about it during this rehearsal. Some moments may be dark during this rehearsal but will not be on the night of the show. They will be changing the lights trying to figure out what works best, so the night of the show will be perfect. Thanks for your understanding.

12. Each class will be assigned a team leader. Your team leader will be responsible for meeting you in your dressing room 6 numbers before you dance. Parents, please be sure to have your children in their dressing room ready to perform 6 numbers before their dance. This is very important to keep our show flowing. This will also ease everyone’s stress of “where do I need to be and when do I need to be there”. The team leader will take all the students to the stage and the parents can go sit and enjoy the show. The team leader will then take the students back to their dressing room to meet their parents after they dance.

13. The most important rule of this day is to relax and enjoy this day with your child. These memories will last a lifetime.

Volunteers Needed

We are having our Nolensville rehearsal on Wednesday, May 30 starting around 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm. We have 3 trucks in our family but would like to see if there are any other volunteers with trucks that could help us haul all of our props for recital to the Nolensville Elementary School for the rehearsal and then take them back to the studio after rehearsals around 9 pm. We would like to save money by not renting the big truck since we are only traveling a few miles down the road. Please email us if you can commit your truck and muscles! Thanks for all you guys do!

Little Grease Boots

Target has already ran out of some of the sizes in the black. If they are out of your size, Order the brown and we will paint them black or polish them black and add our black shoe strings.  I can't find them this cheap any where else. 

GREASE BOOTS TO ORDER - ASAP

Here is a website link to what the boots need to look like:

I know they do have enough sizes at this site, but there are other sites and the style may vary a bit, but DO NOT ORDER THE ONES THAT HAVE THE FOLD DOWN FLAP in the next link below

Parents, Are you READY???!!!

We are bringing back the 70's for "Sea of Dreams" with your help.  We would like to get at least 5 sets of couples to do one part and then there are several different parts where we will need single dancers as well.  We will be bringing dancers on and off and you will not have to learn as much.  It should be fun and very entertaining!  Our music was $100 to have mixed, so if you could pay $5 to help cover that, that would be great.  We need as many as possible, couples and non-couples.  There will also be Afros and funky 70's clothing involved!  We will plan on starting next Friday night, May 11th at 7:00 pm.  Hope everyone will participate and we need as many Dads as possible!

Hello BombShell Parents,

Just a reminder for you all being new this year.  If you have any issues at a competition(with them or one of their vendors), please bring your issue to Shawn or Janie to handle with the competition staff or their vendors.  We want to build congenial relationships with the competitions that we attend.  The owner and teachers are the spokes people for Legacy Dance studio.  That's how we roll.  We hope you all can understand that it is always better to have a spokesperson than to hear over 1,000 complaints and questions from parents.  Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks

Recital Tickets

Our recital tickets will be available for pick up on Tuesday May 1 after 6:00 pm after the May balance is paid in full. Thanks!

Thank You and More Info

What a wonderful weekend in Atlanta! Thanks to you all for driving so far and dancing so beautifully. We couldn't be prouder of everyone! Thanks to all of our Prop Parents and Brothers. What would we do without you all! We are so very blessed!

It was a great competition and we saw some amazing studios and dancers. Thanks Parents for taking the time and financial commitment to travel to other locations.

Our Grease costumes are shipping today. We would love to hand these out as soon as they arrive. We didn't charge the entire balance yet so please be prepared to pay the balance to take these home. The BombShells, ThunderBoltz and SpitFires will owe $50 and the Phantoms and B52 will owe $75(this includes the matching jacket).

We have to pay TPAC on Friday so it will be helpful to us if you could pay this balance since we had to pay the Grease balance over the weekend to our designer so she could ship them.

Also, we have many that have not paid their April balance yet which includes the ShowStopper fees. We have to have your April balances paid by the end of this week to enter ShowStoppers. Not a threat, just a fact. Everyone please get your April balances paid in full this week. Thanks to everyone who has already paid this balance and sorry to have to continue to read these messages. Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you all for participating in the Senior Recognition on Saturday! The food was so great! We had a great time! We love and will miss our graduating Seniors so much! We will have refreshments on Wednesday, May 16th for all of our Graduating Seniors from 8:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Everyone is invited to join us for the festivities.

We are excited about performing in Atlanta. There will be many great studios that we have not competed against before so let's all be prepared to do our very best. We want you to have a wonderful time in Atlanta but get in bed early and be ready to dance. Check all of your costumes and accessories. It's a long way back to Nashville from Atlanta. Double check your lists!

Let's work hard this week. Please try to attend all of the ballet techniques this week.

The Promise and Earth need to come earlier on Thursday for rehearsals. SpitFire Company Workshop is cancelled on Thursday. We are leaving on Thursday at 7:00 pm to head to Atlanta in the big truck. BombShells will not have class on Friday.
Shawn's cell 708-0194, Janie's cell 708-0936. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any problems while in Atlanta. Thanks!

Stage One Nationals Information - Grease and FootPrints

I have been working with Stage One on qualifying Grease and Foot Prints for Nationals. They will not let us send a video to qualify so whoever can come to Gatlinburg and dance in the qualifications on Thursday, June 28th, that will be great. If you cannot come and did not plan to come until Friday, June 29th, it's ok. We will just do the dance the best we can and at least qualify. Everyone will pay $35 for the qualifications (whether you can make it or not on the 28th, sorry) and then the $45 for our nationals. NexStar really spoiled us last year by not requiring all dances to qualify as long as the student was qualified. Sorry about this. Let us know immediately if you will not be able to be in Gatlinburg on Thursday, June 28th to dance in the qualifications. Thanks for all you do! See you all at the picnic on Saturday!

Stage One Nationals Fees - What to Expect

Time is flying by. We would like to get the Stage One Nationals fees in before their deadline. The Atlanta competition filled up so quickly that they had to cut off registration early. Below are the fees for the Stage One Nationals. They will be on your May bill which will have to be paid in full to receive your recital tickets. Some of you (not the BombShells) have already paid $125 toward these fees. This amount will be deducted from your Stage One Charge on your May bills. Thanks! If you do not pay, you will not be entered. This applies to paying for groups as well. We do not have the money to be paying competition fees for you. Thanks for understanding this.

I have a call into the competition to find out if we will have to pre-qualify Grease and Foot Prints. I expect to the answer to be yes, so plan on Grease being $35 for the regional qualifications and $45 for the national entry fee, same for FootPrints. I will pass this information along to you when I hear back from the director.


2012 Stage One National Finals Entry Fees
Solo $100.00 per entry
Duet/Trio $110.00 per entry
Small Group $45.00 per person
Large Group $45.00 per person
Line $45.00 per person
Photogenic
$40.00 per entry (Solo only, maximum two photos per entry,
and will be judged before the solo division for the age group begins)

Stage One TENTATIVE Schedule - Atlanta

Hello Everyone! Hope you are enjoying your break! I received the Stage One Atlanta schedule today and it is 3 full days. They have over 500 entries registered and they had no other choice other than to make Friday a full day and night. Please email me immediately if you have a problem with attending on Friday. They said they would refund your money if you are a soloists and cannot attend on Friday due to school or other activities. This is a nationals qualifications but if you are a soloists and cannot attend on Friday, you can pre-qualify at nationals by doing your solo in Gatlinburg before the competition begins.

Very important! Please help us out. We have alot of money tied up right now in costumes and competition fees due. The lady making the Grease costumes is wanting $50 per costume deposit. Please pay $50 plus your ShowStopper Fees before leaving to go to Spring Break next week so that she can begin our costumes. We would love to get them back in time for Company pictures which is the week of May 7. This $50 deposit applies to all female students. If we do not receive your deposit before Sunday April 1, we will assume that you are not planning on participating in the dance. 60 x $50 is $3,000 and we cannot front that and everything else right now. Thanks for your understanding on this.

IMPORTANT INFO

We are so excited about the new line dance! We are doing a hip hop version of Grease. All Companies and Production Line Members are invited to participate in the line dance. Please email us immediately if you do not want to participate in this dance. We are hoping to compete this dance at nationals. We will be rehearsing some during your normal class times and on Saturdays. We do not have many more Saturdays left before recital to rehearse so we will be starting the line dance next week.

We will be working on statements for April next week and handing those bills out a little early. This will include the May competition fees. We will be needing these fees paid BEFORE APRIL 10TH. Since we will be closed April 2 - April 8, it's going to be cutting it close. This is really important to pay these fees on time this time. All the competitions are set up on-line now and they close down the on-line entry 28-30 days before the show. This doesn't leave us much time. We have a HUGE receivables balance, so we will not be able to cover anyone's competition fees. If you do not pay the fee by APRIL 10TH DEADLINE, you will not be able to attend the competition. Please help us out with this.

We would also like to have a Senior Recognition Luncheon on Saturday, April 14th at the studio. We have 5 Senior Company members who will miss so much! We love them so much and appreciate all their years of hard work and dedication to Mrs. Cathy and to Legacy. Legacy will provide the hamburgers and hot dogs. Bring your tents, coolers and chairs and we will set up to have it outside. If it rains, we will move it to the inside.

Way to Goooo BombShells!

You guys did a great job! Platinum and 1st place overall! So proud of you all! We will continue with Aye Caramba rehearsals on Monday from 6:00 - 7:30 for a little longer. Everyone did an awesome job! Parents, thank you so much for all your hard work and being so supportive of your children!

IMPORTANT-NO PRACTICE FRIDAY! PLEASE READ

Thanks for coming to the dress rehearsal and helping us stay on time. I am a little worried about everyone being on the same page with tights, shoes, hair and accessories. This was to be a full dress rehearsal and we had many that did not have their snaps on their shorts to their skirts, no tights when needed, no shoes, hair falling every which way. The point of dress rehearsal is to make sure there are no costume malfunctions and also to make sure we all look the exact same and I am not sure that was accomplished. So below is a check list for each dance. Please make sure you check this list when packing for this competition. YOU WILL NOT GO ON STAGE IF YOU ARE MISSING PIECES OF YOUR COSTUME OR IF YOUR COSTUME IS NOT FINISHED

Please remember you are to arrive 2 hours early as ready as possible for your first dance. Please do not come in without makeup or hair done and spend the entire 2 hours getting ready. Space is limited at this venue for dressing and makeup and they could possibly be running 2 hours early. So it would be in everyone's be interest to come as ready as possible. We will try and rehearse each dance before going back stage....this practice time will only be for students and teachers. Parents, family and friends will be asked to finish any pictures and socializing before we break away for this practice, so the dancers can fully focus before heading backstage. Parents, please make sure you fully secure all hair pieces and hairstyles with tons and tons of pins and spray/gel. Judges will count off for hair falling out or any piece of the costume falling off. We need to make sure we safety pin any part of the costume that could possibly come unsnapped or fall off. Please bring tons of body tape...the good kind is from Performance Studios on Thompson Lane. Please make sure there are no holes or rips in your tights. Its always a good idea to bring a back up pair of each kind you wear. We WILL be wearing donuts with any kind of bun. This will need to be secured with a hair net also. I understand many of you are opposed to wearing the donut, but there is a good reason for it, or we wouldnt go through the trouble of wearing it. Eyelashes are MANDANTORY for all female dancers. NO exceptions for this.

It's really sad on Saturdays when we have to spend 30 minutes after rehearsals throwing about trash left all over the building. Please help us try to keep the building nice.

Again, label all your costumes. It's going to be crowded but let's enjoy our time together! It's going to be a great weekend! Love you all!

BUSY WEEK!

It's finally here! So thrilled about our first competition! Please see the competition schedule in the post from last week below. Remember to arrive 2 hours before your time on the schedule or when the doors open if 2 hours puts you there before 7:00 am.

Thanks to everyone for their hard work. Parents thanks to you all for all your hard work on costuming and props!

Our dress rehearsal is this Wednesday. Please come as ready as possible. Please label all your costumes and make sure everything gets back into your bag. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE A CHECK LIST. We do not have any extra costumes, so if you loose it you will not be able to be in the dance.

Please make sure that you wear tights with NO holes if you are wearing tights. All head pieces should be secured in with zip ties. It is mandatory for ALL girls to wear eyelashes.

Please email if you have any questions. Thanks to you all!
