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.

NATIONALS!

We are so excited to be in our last few days of preparation for nationals! Thank you all so very much for all your hard work and dedication over the past couple of weeks in preparation for nationals.
Please try to arrive at the competition at least 2 hours before our compete times. A couple of the dances will be competing early (just like in Atlanta) due to costume changes. Arrive at the competition with hair and makeup done for your first dance.
Double check that you have all your costumes and accessories after packing your bags.
Please check with Shawn if you have any broken accessories. We do have a few extra accessories if needed.
Please buy new tights if needed. We want everything to look great!
Always be polite and complimentary of the other teams and of your teammates at all times.
We are so proud of everyone. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication in making this a wonderful first year.

We had to modify the summer schedule just a little. Andy was moved up to California last night and Shawn would like to go visit him the week of July 13.

Please visit the website to view the updates, www.TheLegacyDance.com We also moved the junior / Senior Tryout Preps to the week before tryouts. Thanks for understanding!

Summer Intensive Prices Lowered

We have lowered the summer intensive prices in hopes that more students will be able to attend.

Change to June 14th Week Schedule

We have changed the intensive schedule around a little for next week's intensives so that maybe more of the younger students can attend the leaps and turns class. This is a very important class to attend. We understand that it is alot on the younger students with rehearsals and the intensives, but they will learn alot in the leaps and turns classes. Not complaining about the attendance, just trying to work out the schedule so that more of them can attend this class. Thanks so much!
