Competition News!

Message from Misty
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break! Now its time to work, work, work! We have less than 8 weeks til our first competition. For those of you who it is your first year on Competition, this is when things get crazy busy. It is absolutely critical that the dancers do not miss any practices from here on out. Even with one person missing it is really hard to have a 100% successful practice. It was your choice to let your daughter tryout for the team so please be responsible in making sure that they don’t miss class! If we all work together I know we will be as successful if not more as the past 7 years competing! Thanks you for all of your support!

Costumes
All of the costumes have been ordered and some have already arrived! I will be sending them home with those who have paid all of their costume, competition, and tuition fees! I will have them try them on during class to make sure they fit like I want them to. Please do not let the dancers play dress up in their costumes for we want them to be in tip top shape for performances. Please put them in a safe place for I will not be able to order another one if you are missing a part of your costume.

Fees
I am still missing some costume, competition, and tuition fees. These are all over due! Please pay them immediately or your dancer may be spaced out of their dance and will not be able to compete. Thank you so much to those who have paid on time or have made payment arrangements with me. I really appreciate your responsibility!

Mandatory Dress Rehearsal
Please mark your calendar for these rehearsal dates. It is critical that everybody is there so that we can use the whole dance studio and space the dances as if they were on a stage! Parents may attend if they would like. Parents are encouraged to come for the younger dancers so that they will have help to change their costumes. Dress rehearsal means full costume including hair, make up, tights, shoes etc. Please come in your Jazz costume first.

Mandatory Competitions
Here is a reminder of all of the competitions that we will be attending this year as well as the address! Please remember ALL OF THE COMPETITIONS ARE MANDATORY! I will not receive lineups or times until the week before the competition. As soon as I receive them I will post them on the blog ultimatedanceetc.blogspot.com . so please check frequently for last minute updates and information.
Most competitions do charge an admission fee at the door usually $5 or $6, so please be prepared for that.(I know, I think it is absolutely ridiculous as well.) The Thanksgiving point competition this year will have FREE Admission! Yay!
Most solos are on Friday nights and most team dances are on Saturdays. These usually take up the whole day so please keep these specific Saturdays clear from other activities. It is not mandatory to stay for awards, but it is so much fun for the girls. So, if you can attend the awards ceremony please do!

Competition Team Newsletter

COMPETITION TEAM NEWSLETTER

I am so excited for the progress I have seen on every team! I can’t believe that the fall session is almost over, and we will soon be into the competition season! Every Team has either learned both dances or are very close to finishing both dances. It is very critical that from here on out that the dancers do not miss any classes, unless it is an emergency. We will begin really cleaning all of the dances when we get back from Christmas break. We appreciate all of your support and are very excited for the competition season! Have a happy holiday and we will see you soon!

Winter/Spring Registration
The last day of classes for the Fall Session is on December 11th. Please remember you do need to pay for the upcoming winter/spring tuition. However, you do not need to register online for the class. Winter/Spring consists of 5 month instead of 4 and will begin January 4th. I will not let anyone with a balance compete if tuition is not paid!

Class Change
Due to building and teacher scheduling conflicts, I had to change the time of both the Excite and Dynamite Teams on Mondays. Dynamites will be coming on Mondays from 4:00-5:00 and Excite will be coming from 6:00-7:00. All other days and times will remain the same. Sorry for any inconvenience. These time changes will take place beginning January 4th.

Competition Fees and Costume Fees
Both competition and costume fees are extremely over due! I cannot buy costumes or register for competitions unless I have been paid. If I have not received all your fees by December 16th we will space your dancer out of the dances. (unless other arrangements have been made with Misty). Everybody was aware of these fees back in May at tryouts, you have had a very long time to plan for them. Competition fees are $140 per dancer and Costume fees are $90 per dancer.


Have a great Christmas Break and Happy Holidays!

Attention!! Excite and Dynamite

Due to lack of studio space I had to change the times for both Excite and Dynamite on Mondays!
This will all begin with the new winter/spring session that starts in January!
Excite will be coming on Mondays at 6:00 pm-7:00 Pm and Dynamite will be coming on Mondays at 4:00 pm-5:00 pm. Sorry for any inconvienence, but this change was a must. Dynamite will still come the same time on tuesdays.

If you want to stay at either one of these hotels you can call and let them know you are with Ultimate Dance and you can get this special rate! Please be advised that we have 150 dancers going to st. George so please dont wait til March to book these rooms for they will be gone.

The Holiday Inn $92/night has an indoor pool and hot tub and has a restaraunt on site, I think kids eat free!

La Quinta $74/night is really nice just brand new last year. They have a free hot breakfast w/ waffles, eggs, etc. They have an outdoor pool and an outdoor hot tub.

You do not have to stay at these hotels. You can make your own accommodation. These are just the ones I like and they gave us a really good group rate. This is the peak season for st. George so Hotels are usually well over $100/night.

Please remember You will want a room for friday night for sure and maybe saturday night if you are competiting in the 9 and older teams! Please fit this into your budget now, it is still 6 months away and is super fun and Mandatory for all dancers!

Wear lots of sunscreen!When you are on the practice field only Sneakers allowed. When you are on the stadium field only Gore shoes are allowed. Please remember you need tan tights and tan shoes!

BYU has replaced their football field with brand new grass and astro-turf. Thus they are being extremely protective of this new field. We are only allowed limited time on the actual performance field, but we have a fantastic “practice field” that we are able to use. The “practice field” is located just north of BYU’s stadium at: 2230 N Canyon Rd. (between Canyon Rd. and University Ave.) - Provo, UT.

There will be parking available on the South or East sides of the “practice field”. The parking is limited, so only directors will be able to park and stay. Parent helpers may have to park a block away, but there is plenty of near-by parking lots that will be available to use.

Please Remember to bring snacks, and drinks (maybe Gatorade or something) Water will be available. Wear lots of sunscreen!
When you are on the practice field only Sneakers allowed. When you are on the stadium field only Gore shoes are allowed. Please remember you need tan tights and tan shoes!

Pony Express Parade!

Reminder Pony Express Parade is Saturday June 6th. If you want to dance in the parade (must be 8 or older) meet at the dance studio at 8 AM to learn your parade routine. If you just want to ride in the trailer meet us at Hidden Hollow Elementary school no later than 9:30! Please either wear your dance costume or Warmups! The parade starts at the Elementary school follows Pony Express Parkway and Ends at Smith Ranch Road at the Church right there. You can pick up your child at the Church!

If you want to bring candy to throw feel free! Please remember you dont have to be on a competition team to be in the parade, this is for everyone! This should be fun! If you need me I do have my phone again you can call me at 801-718-6900!

Thanks to the Davis' for driving us in the parade and letting us use their truck and trailer!

Class pictures are at the Dance Studio if you are missing yours!

Exciting Summer!

Wow! Great Job yesterday at the Recital! What a turnout! I thought by splitting the studio in half and having everyone only dance in one show, we would have more than enough seating. I guess I was wrong! We had more than 500 seats and still not enough room! Sorry!

Saratoga Splash Performance!
We have a time for performance at Saratoga Splash! I believe itis 11:30. Is There any Soloists duets, or Trios that would like to perform?? Here is the deal I am going to be out of town but I can have all of the music ready and find someone to be in charge if you would like to do it. I know you all know what your doing we have done this many times! Let me know!!

Pony Express Parade!

Everyone is invited to walk/ride in the Pony Express Parade on Saturday June 6th. The Davis' are letting us use their Trailer to ride on and we want to put Some of our Trophies on it as well! Is there anyone one who has a truck that would like to drive us and pull the trailer in the parade????? I thought it would be cute just to wear costumes from this year (your favorite one). Also I thought it would be fun for some to be dancing down the street. If you would like to be a dancer please meet at the studio at 8 AM to learn just a real easy routine (couple counts of 8) to do down the parade route. Please only 8 yrs+ dancing. 7yrs and Under can ride. This should be lots of fun! I am also going to get some candy to throw!
We will need to meet at the beginning of the parade route at 9:30. Pony Express Parkway and Sweet water dr. in the Ranches. The Parade starts at 10:00!

Please be advised you do not have to be on a Competition team to be in the Parade. As long as you are a dancer or Tumbler at Ultimate Dance Etc. you are invited!!!

Dance Nationals @ Lagoon May 8-9 more info!!

I just got some more information today in the mail about the Lagoon competition. I haven't done this competition for about 4 yrs so I am not sure really what to expect 100%. Some things are still the same so I can help you out with what I know. This competition is supposed to be one of the Largest dance competitions in the world. It is the same company as the Thanksgiving Point competition so it is ran about the same except only more studios, teams and stages. Team places are posted on the wall and Overall awards are given on the stage after each level is concluded. This is America Onstages National Competition. I have recieved the discounted Parking passes but not entrance passes yet. Hopefully I will get them this next week. I can get as many discount passes as you need so please let me or Alicia in the office know if you need extras! I did get some new information that I didnt already know today for solos, duets, and trio. I guess they have what is call "Jr. National All Americans" These are given to the Highest scoring performers of the competition. This is how they choose: top scores in
Novice Beginning Intermediate
1 duet 1 duet 1 Duets
2 lyrical solos 2 Lyrical solos 2 Lyrical solos
2 Hip Hop Solos 2 Hip Hop solos 2 Hip Hop solos
2 Jazz solos 2 Jazz Solos 2 Jazz Solos

Update info!

Hi everyone! just a little update!
I am finding that the practices for Disneyland for some classes are not necessary! I have a lot of people leaving before the 11th of April for Disneyland! Therefore, there will be no practice that day! If you are wondering what they are doing for disneyland, they are doing one of their competition dances so obviously they dont have to learn a new routine or buy an extra costume! We have found that we have not had make hardly any changes to any of the dances which is great! I will run through the dance they are performing with the girls that are going to Disneyland at the end of each class and if I find that there is a need for an extra practice I will let you know! Thanks for all you support!

Here is a new schedule of what I feel is necessary!

Saturday March 21st
8:00- Dynamite

No practice April 11th unless needed. I will keep you posted!

Also I should be getting the lineup for Spanish Fork sometime this week! keep checking the blog!
