Moonbeam, Stars and Starlette Units-Extra Friday Choreography Dates

Since adding in a 6th unit, there is a bit of a time crunch to fit in all of the classes. Your classes weekly are just 75 minutes long starting in October. To make up for the extra 15 minutes of time lost in a month’s worth of classes, once per month you will have an hour class on Friday nights.

Here is the schedule for those Friday nights

5:00-6:00 Moonbeams

6:00-7:00 Stars

7:00-8:00 Starlettes

October 23rd, November 20th, January 8th, February 12th

March and April will TBD based on the competition schedule and overlapping practice schedule to get ready for recitals

Dancers should arrive in their opening costumes and bring all other costumes they will wear in the Christmas show. Hair should be in a low ponytail, no makeup is necessary. Hip Hop and Comp Hop classes will practice during the rehearsal, so no regular classes on this night.

Advanced ballet technique will still be held after rehearsal,

it will just be from 8:00-9:00

Christmas Party!

Tuesday December 15th 5:45-8:00

Each year we celebrate the hard work the dancers have put in so far and the celebration of the holiday season with a potluck/gift exchange party for all the competition line dancers. Dancers are asked to bring an item to contribute to the party. You will get an email with a sign-up link for what your dancer’s group is responsible for bringing. Dancers are encouraged to wear fun holiday gear/ugly sweaters etc.. There will be a gift exchange if you would like your dancer to be a part of and lots of games planned! The Shimmers/Twinkles/Moonbeams will do the gift exchange with each other and the Sparkles/Stars/Starlette groups will do the gift exchange together.

*If you would like to be in a gift exchange, bring a $10.00 to $12.00 gift. *

We have always included family members at the party as it has been tradition. Back when the competition line Christmas party started, there were 25 dancers in the competition lines, so accommodating all the families was not a big deal. As the show unit continues to grow, Christine has made the difficult decision to just have the dancers in the studio for the party as there is simply not enough room anymore. She kindly requests that no parents be in the studio during the party.
