INFO
JUNIORS AND SENIORS: THE ROAD TO VEGAS
To our talented Junior and Senior Dancers,
While we always love celebrating your successes, we have to be honest about our performance at Knott’s Berry Farm this past weekend. To put it simply: we weren't at our best. There were too many avoidable errors and a level of performance that didn't reflect the true potential of this group.
This is a direct result of inconsistent attendance and a lack of individual practice at home. We’ve seen what you can do when you’re fully "on," and right now, we aren't there yet.
The Clock is Ticking: With the Las Vegas Nationals fast approaching, we are officially in the "crunch time" zone. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, including finishing:
-
Junior Pom
-
Senior Jazz
-
Senior Hip Hop
We want you to step onto that national stage feeling unstoppable, but to be amazing, we need 100% commitment starting now. This means being present at every practice and putting in the work at home so we can use our team time to polish, not just learn.
Let’s lock in, focus, and show everyone the powerhouse team we know you are! 💃✨
Now to a not so pleasant message:
Why Missing Competitions Hurts the Team
Competitions are not optional extras, they are a core part of being on a competitive team. When a dancer misses a competition, it affects more than just that individual.
-
Formations & spacing are impacted. One missing dancer changes visuals, timing, and floor patterns for the entire team.
-
The team loses confidence. Dancers rely on each other. When someone is missing, it creates uncertainty and stress on competition day.
-
Extra pressure on teammates. Other dancers must adjust on the spot, often with no rehearsal time, which isn’t fair to them.
-
Judging and scoring can be affected. Judges notice missing dancers, uneven spacing, and last-minute changes.
-
Team commitment matters. Competitive teams depend on everyone showing up and being reliable. Missing competitions breaks that trust.
Being on a team means committing to the team, not just practices, but competition days too.
Why Arriving at Call Time Is Critical
Call time exists for a reason. Arriving late, even “just a little,” causes a ripple effect for the entire team.
-
Warm-ups are missed. This increases injury risk and affects performance quality.
-
Run-throughs can’t happen. Teams need full attendance to clean spacing, timing, and transitions.
-
Stress levels rise. Late arrivals create unnecessary anxiety for dancers, coaches, and parents.
-
Hair, makeup, and costumes are delayed. One late dancer can hold up the entire group.
-
Respect for the team and staff. Being on time shows respect for teammates, coaches, and the work everyone has put in.
Call time is not a suggestion, it’s the time the team must be fully ready and present.
BOTTOM LINE:
Competitive dance requires discipline, responsibility, and teamwork.
-
Missing competitions hurts the team’s performance and morale.
-
Missing call time disrupts preparation and adds unnecessary stress.
When everyone shows up, on time and prepared, the team can perform with confidence, unity, and pride.
MISSED COMPETITION POLICY:
If a dancer misses a scheduled competition, they will not be permitted to participate in the following competition. In addition, coaches will adjust and rework routine formations as needed. Upon the dancer’s return, placement within the routine is not guaranteed, and the dancer may not return to their original spot.
