Girls' Senior Night BB Game

All of our hard work will pay off tonight! Tonight we perform at the Senior Night Girl's basketball game, during half time. Come and watch! It's free admission!! Dancers need to be there at 5:00 p.m. so we can practice and go over the steps. Afterwards we will touch up our make-up and our crazy hair! The best of luck to all the dancers. Get into it and use those eyes!! Have a great time!! It's such a wonderful opportunity to perform at this HUGE basketball game that KCCI might attend!! The dancers will be performing around 6:30 p.m. I can't wait!!!!! 

Come and Watch!!

In under a week the dancers will be performing at the girls' Senior Night Basketball game, during half time. The admission to the game is free!! It starts at 6:00 p.m. Everyone should come watch the hip hop routine called Disturbia. The kids are working super hard. We had practice at the high school last week and it went okay. We still have lots of work left to do. Tonight at practice we're really going to work on our tricks! Then we're going to work on our tricks again on Sunday. Come out and watch the dancers! It'll be great fun!! The dancers will do great!! 

Practice at the High School

Well, it's official. I've just booked us two days for the High School. We have Sunday, February 1st from 12:30-1:30 and Sunday, February 8th from 12:30-1:30. I've decided that on the 8th we should have a full out dress rehearsal. That means make-up, hair, and costumes! Everyone needs to come to the school dressed and ready. Don't plan on getting there and then getting dressed, we need that full hour to practice the routine on the huge floor. 

That means the original practice we had scheduled at the studio for the 1st will be cancelled, because we'll be practicing at the h.s. gym instead. Hopefully we'll have a full week of classes this week, with no winter storms.

Also, we're taking Disturbia to a competition, and if anyone wants to take their solos, duets or other groups, fees need to be paid by February 1st. 

See you all this week. Remember to bring ALL your dance shoes because we're working on all of the routines! ;) See you soon!! 

Snow, Snow, Snow....

Holy Cow!! Yesterday, due to weather, we didn't have classes. Mother nature is out to get us! Not really, but I heard we're suppose to be getting more storms through out the week. Yikes!! Hopefully classes will still be on! Last nights weather was a blizzard!!! Hopefully everyone saw that there would be no classes. 

We're going to be working on our dance routines again this week. Lots to do! Keep up the high energy and great attitudes! See you this week. Stay warm! It's freezing outside! ;) 

Dance, Dance, Dance

Well, we've got the cage finished!!! The cage we are using as a prop for the routine Disturbia! Thanks so much to Tanner, Jake and Michael. I could not have done it without them. It's painted, sanded (so no splinters) and everything! Woot! Woot!! Tonight we have practice and it will be intense. We have tumbling, which is always eventful. Then hip hop II, intensive stretching, afterwards just tonight we're starting to work on all solos! Anyone with a solo can come and practice for 45 minutes. On Sunday we have an extra practice for the Hip Hop II class. Remember to bring those costumes. It might run a little late, so be prepared. 

Have a great weekend! 

The New Year!

Hey Everyone! It's been awhile since I've last written. Dance just started back up yesterday. We've ordered the dance costumes and they should be here after Spring Break. We are starting to work on our dances for the recital. This Sunday we have an extra practice for Disturbia, and I've got some GREAT ideas that I can't wait to work on. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! I also hope everyone is ready to get back to work on our routines. See you all very soon! 

*Everyone gets an envelope this week!! Make sure you don't forget yours. ;)
