So Excited!

So very excited for the B52s this week!  Every single one of you are so talented and have worked so hard this year!  I am so proud of you all for being such great leaders and setting the example!  Let's stay focused this week and really perform and enjoy the week!  I love you all!

Sell Old Costumes?

If you would like to sell any of your old costumes after nationals, please put  your name, your price and the size of the costume in a plastic zip lock bag.  We will gather all costumes and send them to California to try to resale for you.  They charge 25% of the total fee and ship to the customer fee so keep this in mind when you are pricing your costumes.  You will not receive your money until the costume is sold. 

For example, By Your Side Costume - $150, State of Shock Costume  - $175

Naitonals Videos

Good morning... I talked to the folks who are doing the videos at Nationals and they let me know that based on our 31 entries and 32 families (so far) that the cost per video will be $35.00 each. If we get up to 40 families, the price will go to $32.00 - not a super big savings.

Each family can either write a check for $35.00 payable to Take 2 Video and give to me or whoever is at the desk and I will collect them tonight OR they can go to the video table at the competition and give them a check or credit card. They need to tell them they are part of the Legacy Dance Studio team.
On the first day, I plan to give them our form with all of the dances and the families listed that have signed up in advance along with any checks that I received.
Hope this makes sense!!! Let me know if there are any questions...
Thanks!!!!

Naitonals Info

I know it's summer and alot of you are ready to rest, but let's keep in mind we only have 2 more weeks to feel really really good about our dances. This year's nationals is going to be really tough. It's going to be a great honor to make it to the Shootout. Please come to your rehearsals for the next 2 weeks and then we will take a break.


Phantoms and B52's are welcome to come to as many ballet techniques and leaps and turns as they would like to attend. B52's can attend the Phantoms and Phantoms can attend the B52s. We have invested too much time and money not to excel at nationals. Thanks to you all!

National Finals Shootout Championship Information
The Shootout Championship Show will take place at the end of the regular National Competition and consist of (at least) the EIGHT top scoring routines in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior). Shootout numbers will be chosen from all performance levels and from small groups, large groups and lines. A studio may only be represented once in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior); thus each studio may have a maximum of FOUR routines competing in the Shootout. Shootout Champions, 1st and 2nd Runners Up will be presented in each age group. Shootout Champions will receive $250 cash plus a $250 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition. First Runners Up will receive a $200 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition, and 2nd Runners Up will receive a $100 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regionals.

Secondary Qualification:

A studio may qualify a SECOND Shootout routine in each Age Group if:
1. The routine's score would have originally qualified it for the Shootout.
2. The two qualifying teams have completely different performers.

No previously-qualified routines will be eliminated due to Secondary Qualification. If Secondary Qualification occurs, the Show will consist of more than eight routines in each age group.

Saturday, June 16 Rehearsal

I would like to have as many come to Saturday, June  16 rehearsal if possible.  Andy is still in AAA and coming to Nashville to play on Tuesday, June 19th.  We will still have classes but I will have someone else running classes Tuesday thru Thursday.  I hope that's ok.  I have only seen Andy for 3 days since March and I would love to spend time with him while he is in Nashville.  I know many of you wanted to attend his games as well.  He is not getting to play much on this team yet but it's ok.  We can still be there to support him.
So the nationals schedule begins everyday at 7:00 am and goes until 11 - midnight everyday and ends Sunday night at 8:30 pm.  This competition has never been this large.  I want us to be prepared and do as much rehearsing as we can.  Please attend these rehearsals if at all possible. 
Saturday, May 16
9:00 am - 10:00 am ALL Soloists
10:00 am - 11:00 am ALL duet/trios

Plan on this same schedule for Saturday, June 23.  Let's be as prepared as possible for nationals.  Thanks so much!

Thank You!

Thank you is not enough to express the gratitude for the amazing gift from you all.  I do not expect or deserve such generosity.  I am truly blessed and so thankful for you all.  I could not have received a better gift for the studio.  My laptop is definitely on it's last few days.  I can't wait to start using this.  Thanks also for the gift cards for me and Jane for the spa!  We love you all so much!

Hair for Sea of Dreams

B52s - Please wear your hair down all LIVE and DEAD Pirates for the recital and rehearsal. 

Put it back up for Earth, Iris and By Your Side.

Then down again as always for Rumors

Down for Grease. 

Sorry for the hair changes.  I just think some of the dances won't look good with the hair up the entire show.

Thanks for all you do!  You are the best and we love you all so very much! 

Dance, Inc. Meeting

Please bring your lawn chairs for the 1st Dance Inc. meeting on Monday, June 4.  The meeting will be on the dock behind the studio.  Thanks!
