Let's have an extra lyrical rehearsl on Sunday, April 3 at 5:30 pm. Plan on staying a couple of hours. Thanks!

Summer Schedules Posted

The June summer schedule is posted on the website along with the July tryout prep workshop and the 2011-2012 tryout date.

Since our nationals is not until July, we will be dancing in June and the first week of July. We will take the week off after recital to rest. The company students will be billed your regular monthly rate in June and that will also cover the first week of July. For example, if you are in small group, you will pay the $90 and this will cover the unlimited classes for the 5 weeks of the June/July classes, all others will pay the $75 regular monthly rate. This includes your rehearsal times and unlimited classes for your age group at no extra cost. Solos, duo/trio and small group rehearsals are not on the June schedule yet.

We have also scheduled the July Summer Extreme Workshop. This workshop is open to all Legacy students and students outside of Legacy Dance. We will be bringing in guest teachers to teach along with our normal staff. The workshop will be July 25 thru July 29. We will also use this workshop as a tryout prep workshop and follow up with the 2011-2012 Company Tryouts on Saturday, July 30.

What to expect for the 2011-2012 Competition Season? We have all worked very very hard this year and have accomplished much. We are so proud of each of you! Thank you for your committments and hours and hours of rehearsals.

We like to keep offering options for all of our dancers. We know some of you want to dance as much as possible to prepare to dance at the college level while others only want to compete at more of the recreational level. For the 2011-2012 year, we will be offering different levels of participation. We will provide more details later.

COMPETITION INFORMATION - IMPORTANT

We are not going to compete in Nashville or out of town April 15th weekend. Sorry we tried but just too many conflicts.

Birmingham Comp Cancelled

We will not be attending the Birmingham competition. It is only on Saturday and we have several with prior commitments for that Saturday. We will find another comp and let you know soon.

Special Thank You

A very special thank you to our Moms and Dads! Prop Dads, thank you so very much for helping with the props! And Moms, 2 costume awards 2 weeks in a row! You have spent so much time making these beautiful costumes. Thanks to you all!

Getting There

Well things do not always go our way. I know it has been tough on everyone attending back to back competitions. Thanks for hanging in there! We will start our new lyrical dance this week. Please try to attend as many ballet technique classes as possible. Technique will help us maintain the platinum awards. Again, Nationals is going to be really tough this year so let's really try hard to work on technique since you are all finished with basketball season now. Attending more than 1 day per week will help strengthen and tone your body. I know you do not like to attend multiple nights per week but to advance to the next level you really need the ballet more than 1 night per week to stretch and lengthen your muscles.

REMINDER: The studio will be closed for spring break March 21 - March 25. We will start back on March 26 with the new hip hop dance.

Thanks!

Lauren Doyles Black Pedinis

Could everyone please your bags for Lauren Doyle's black pedinis? She was kind enough to lend them to another studio but unfortunately, they were not returned to her as instructed. The shoes have LD's initials on the inside of them. Thanks so much!

Birmingham Competition for B52s and Phantoms

The Birmingham competition registration deadline is March 15. Solos are $85, Duo/Trios are $95, groups are $35 per student. Please be ready to pay this on Wednesday March 16 or before if possible. PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND THIS COMPETITION. This is for the Phantoms and B52s only.

Competition Dates

We would like to take the B52s and Phantoms to Birmingham April9 and April 10 if it's not too late to enter the competition. We would not do the StarSystems competition which is April 15 weekend since many of you have prom that weekend. We would take the younger groups to the April 15 competition and not take them to Birmingham. Please let us know asap if it would be a problem for you to attend the April 9 and April 10 competition in Birmingham. Soloists, Duos and Trios let us know if you would want to compete at the April 15 competition here in Nashville. We will not be taking our B52 and Phantom group dances to the April 15 weekend competition if we go to Birmingham on the April 9th weekend. Thanks!

Accomplishments!

Do you realize how much you have accomplished in less than our 2 years together? Second highest jazz routine out of the entire competition, Two platinums and a high gold in our first weekend is very good and we still have alot of improvements to make. We competed against studios that have been in business for many more years and dance many many many more hours than the majority of you and we hung with them. Thanks to the few of you who do make the effort to attend all ballet technique classes that are available to you.

I feel that I have been very understanding and lenient on your attendance to ballet technique but now I must enforce the 2 ballet classes per week to all the small group members since you did agree to this when you tried out for the small groups. Lindsey has been telling me that her attendance has been very very low. I know you are all tired and have studying to do, so please let me know if the small groups are not going to work with your schedules any longer. I know basketball is over for most of you now, please take the time to come to as many ballet techniques as possible. It will be mandatory from this day forward for all small group members.

Enjoy This Weekend

You are all such a blessing to us. We are so excited for you all this weekend. Enjoy this time with your daughter and sons. When they are 25 years old, they won't remember if they won or lost dance competitions but they will remember all the love and good times you had spending this time together and how hard their parents have worked to create their costumes. You are making a difference in the lives. Parents, thanks to you all for all your support to Legacy Dance Studio and to your children. You are a wonderful group and we are truly blessed. Let's have a fun weekend!

Request for Prop Crews

Live and let Die and Sweet Child both have props that we will need to carry on to the stage within a 2 minute time period or we will be penalized. This weekend we have Kenny and Andy that can help but we will need 4 more Dads for Sweet Child and at least 3 more Dads for Live and Let Die. These dances perform at 9 am and 10:20 am on Sunday morning. Please let us know if you can help. Thanks so very much!
