What a great time we had in St. George- I am so proud of everyone! Woo Hoo! Here is how our cute girls placed……..
Oakley-1st, Shaylee-2nd, Jami-1st, Kylie Shaw-2nd, Stevie-1st, Hannah-2nd, Jessie-3rd, Lexi-1st, Brianna, Emma, Lindie-1st, Kourtney/Ashley-1st, Hannah/Ashley-2nd, Aspen/Kennedie-1st, Kendell/Tori-1st, Magic Carpet Ride-1st, You Belong with me-1st , Kylie/Aspen-1st place High Gold.

Our dance concert is now set in stone…….May 12 at the Riverton Community Center.

We will have class the first week of May, and then just the dance Concert the following week. Only ½ tuition will be due, but all dancers will need to pay a $10. Recital fee, this fee pays for the building rental, programs, and awards.

I honestly can not believe we are to the end of the year. Time flies! Let’s enjoy the next month and get ready for an AWESOME concert!

Oh my goodness! Remember there is no dance the week of competition, so PLEASE remember to try and practice your dance at least once a day before competition- If I gave you a back up cd, remember to bring it to St. GeorgeJ

Please remember to wear your make-up as we have instructed. Last year girls performed without lipstick and I wanted to cry- You need your pretty faces to be seen on stage! (FYI- Glitter is good! Glitter is our friendJ) Claire’s has some great glitter makeup!

Below are the times the competition has estimated your performance- you need to be to the convention center ONE HOUR BEFORE your estimated time in full costume and make-up- They do have a tendency to run ahead soooooo please do not be late!

Thursday “Magic Carpet ride”

From 11- noon
Oakley solo

Ashley/ Kourtney

There will be no class the week of competition ( the dress rehearsal counts as your class)
If you are doing a solo, duet, or trio…….PRACTICE!!!! I love you guys and think you will all do awesome, but do not expect your dance to be to perfection if the only time you are practicing is during your class. Even in small spaces you can practice! Get to the point that you do not have to THINK what comes next, then you are ready!

Woo Hoo! All information will be given out at the dress rehearsal. If you can not make the dress rehearsal all competition information is available on the Americaonstage.org website. Just look under Dixie Spectacular. You will need to be to the Dixie Convention center one hour before your estimated time. Be in the building, in your costume ready to go one hour before you are scheduled to dance. These competitions can run way ahead of time ( and behind) so just please do not be late.

I will have my phone with me, 801-604-0629- Texting me is the best way to get a hold of me.

I will give hair and make up instructions at the dress rehearsal!

I love you guys and am so super proud of you! Now let’s go enjoy some fun in the sun, and dance our tooshies off!

Dancers-
First, please know I have NO CONTROL over the times and changes each competition makes. On the last schedule they said all solos were on Friday, they just sent me an email and they have moved my our solos to Sat. The solos are scheduled (right now) on Sat. between 2pm and 5pm. My 2 teams are scheduled for Sat. between 5pm and 7:30pm. This is an estimated schedule. Ten days before the event they will have a better time estimation.

We will be having a dress rehearsal on Monday March 22 from 5- 8 pm at my house. All competition info will be given out then. All dancers who would like to practice on their own, the studio will be open that Monday March 22 from 3-5pm.
