Every Spot Matters

In a dance routine, there are no "background" roles. Every formation, ripple, and group relies on every single member being in their designated place. When one person is missing, the team can’t properly gauge spacing, timing, or the visual impact of the choreography.

As we approach our competition at the end of this month, full attendance is mandatory. We practice as a team so we can succeed as a team. Your presence isn't just requested—it's what makes the routine complete.

"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character."

Why Attendance SHOULD BE Non-Negotiable

Safety First: Many of our transitions and lifts require the full team to ensure everyone stays safe and supported.
The "Cleaning" Phase: We are currently perfecting the small details that make the difference between a "good" score and a "great" one.
Team Morale: Showing up for your teammates builds the trust and confidence we need to shine on stage.

PRACTICE FOOTWEAR

Parents, for practice we ask that all dancers wear dance footsies.

Dance footsies help protect the feet while allowing dancers to glide, turn, and point their toes properly. They provide just the right amount of grip and support, which is important as we teach both technique and choreography.

You can purchase them on Amazon here:
