It’s Competition Time!
Wow! I can’t believe it is competition time already! I am more than excited for our first competition. The girls have been working so hard for this all year! Our first competition is on February 27th at Thanksgiving point! We have a lot of new competitors this year, please talk with them often about the competition and what goes on so that they will be prepared. Thanksgiving point is not charging admission at the door this year! YAY! So you can bring whoever you want. Please remember our first competition we call our “practice Competition” because this is the competition where the girls get all of their nerves out and we see what works and doesn’t work with the dances. This is usually our not the best performance for the teams but one to get them into the groove with the Competitions! Although, we usually still do pretty good!
I usually do not get lineups until the week before, but I will post them as soon as I receive them!
The next competition is on March 20th @Timpview and March 27th @ St. George. Please remember all competitions are Mandatory!!!!!
If you have not got your room for St. George call now because there are two different dance competitions and lots of conventions there that weekend. I called La Quinta last week and they only have 9 rooms left!!!

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.

Expressions Team
After trying on jazz costumes I think it is very important that the expressions team has black Gore shoes instead of Tan. If you just bought some from me I will exchange them!
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

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.
