NEW AMOUNTS DUE SOON!  $15.00 July Dues & $50.00 Summer Credit Fee will be due by the last practice in June.  We do not come back to practice until into August  - so these fees will be due at the end of June prior to our moritorium!!  You can pay these any time between now and then. :)

Hip Hop & Saturday the 26th

Hip Hop Clinics for Friday May 25th will go from 3:15-7:30 @ Infinity Dance.

Saturday May 26th practice will go from 7:00-10:00 A.M.@ Infinity Dance.

...Lyrical Routine...

Okie Dokie :) We are off and rollin' for the year.  It was good to see everyone on Saturday and get right to work. Nice Job everyone!

The new lyrical routine is very contemporary and the difficulty of the routine comes in with the movement quality.  The coreographer auditioned it on Saturday so that she can get it set on Tuesday.  Like I said...It is very difficult.  This routine as of now has a very small number of dancers in it.  That may or may not change over the course of the year. We will absolutely watch for growth and improvement. We love every one of you and are proud of each one of you.

*****PLEASE REMEMBER - Every DANCER and PARENT was made aware prior to auditioning for the team of the competition routine process and also signed papers agreeing to support decisions of coaches in regards to the team.  This is very stressful for the coaches as well as the dancers and parents.  It is a difficult position to be in and dancers are suited differently for different dances along the way.  Coaches do not take phone calls, texts, or emails regarding placement in routines - as explained prior to auditioning.  If the dancer on the team would like communication on what she can improve on, we are there to coach and help her along the way.  We would love to talk to her.  This is a Varsity level high school sport. If TEXTS or EMAILS are received from parents regarding the placement of competition routines, they will not be responded to - because it was all explained before hand.  Thank You for your cooperation in helping us to coach this team to the best of our abilities.

...Friday May 11 Practice...

We will not have practice on Friday May 11. We WILL hold practice on Saturday May 26.  Time & Location TBA.

Dance Shoes...

I will be posting shoe information very soon.  Please keep in mind - You are REQUIRED to keep one pair of the dance shoes we use in good performance condition.  The condition of shoes used for performance from some dancers last year was unacceptable. You need to remember this and allow yourself enough time to order shoes and keep some extras on hand.  Thanks!

Lyrical & Hip Hop Routines -READ CAREFULLY

Please remember that everything about competition routines for Rockettes was explained to you in detail before you auditioned for the team.  You have a chance of being in both of these routines, not being in either one, or being in just one of them. 

EVERY team member pays the clinic fees - whether or not they are selected to compete in the routines.  They will still be learning and growing from the experience.  This was also explained prior to auditioning for the team.

...YEARS ON THE TEAM, NEW MEMBER, or RETURNING MEMBER - Does not affect who will or won't be in routines.

-The coreographers will be auditioning who they feel best fits their routines at the time.  The routines will be set for pretty tight groups in the begining.  As time goes on and practice continues....more members may or may not be added in.

...Camp Deposit & Dues...

* Remember your $100.00 Camp Deposit & $15.00 Monthly Dues for May are due @ Roll Call at practice on Monday May 7. NO EXCEPTIONS.

...Your camp balance will be due on our last practice in May (no exceptions).  I do not know the total balance due yet...Plan on the total for camp being approx. $250.00 - So you will owe another $150.00 (approx.).
