It is now time the time of the year we have to clean and polish dances to make sure they are competition ready. Please understand the teachers are working hard to make sure dances are ready and all changes are for the good of the team. If your student needs extra help please get with the teachers.

Stones for all Costumes:
Stone orders will be placed tonight. We have the new process in place!
Each costume was assigned an amount by gross in size 20 or 30.
As an addition to the stones you order, we ask every student to order an additional 1 gross 20’s and 1 gross 30’s for miscellaneous costume belongings (earrings, chokers, bows, belt buckles) and any stones that might get lost.
A great way to stand out and, is a lot of fun for the girls, is to stone their tops, shirts, leo’s and warm-ups. If you would like to do so please order an extra gross for these projects.

Props:
We need a parent to volunteer to be in charge of each of the following props. The role will involve working with the teacher to get the props ready for competition. Then checking the prop the Thursday before the competition and the Thursday after the competition. This will ensure the props stays in good shape.
