A Message from the Christmas Party Parent Planners Jen and Molly:
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 show unit dancers. Dancer 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 Twinkles/Moonbeams will do the gift exchange with each other and the Stars/ Starlette groups will do the gift exchange together.
We have always included family members at the party as it has been tradition. Back when the show unit Christmas party started, there were 25 dancers in the show unit so accommodating al 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 just not enough room anymore. She kindly requests that no parents be in the studio during the party.
*If you would like to be in a gift exchange, bring a $8.00 to $12.00 gift. *
What we are asking your help with:
Twinkles/Moonbeams Beverages/Cookies/Sweets
Stars: Appetizers
Starlettes: Main Dishes
Here are the links to sign up"

Stars and Starlette Jazz Choreography Day
Saturday January 7th
Stars: 12:00-1:00 Starlettes: 1:15-2:15 Lyrical 2:30-3:15
Shows At Senior Centers
The dancers will meet at the studio, ready to perform in the costume they will perform in first, hair and makeup done. A bus will take them to the shows and then bring them back to the studio. We will perform all the individual units' Christmas dances, pointe, comp hop and we will scale down the lyrical number and some of the dancers will perform that as well. We will NOT do the opening number at these shows as there are just too many dancers and too much moving/interchanging for it to work in the limited space we are given at these residences.
Thursday December 15th
Meet at 4:00..Return around 7:00
Guardian Angels in Albertville
Legacy in St. Michael
I know that 4:00 time might be hard to get too. I can hold off the bus until about 4:10, they want us to perform at 4:30 so we do not interfere with dinner. If you can't get your dancer to the bus, please talk to me about a possible alternative plan.
Saturday December 17th
Meet at 10:30 …Return around 2:30
Guardian Angels in Elk River
St. Benedicts in Monticello
These are optional shows. However, if they are working towards getting an outstanding show unit member trophy, they need to attend.
