CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to each and every team for your success, but first and foremost for always showing good sportsmanship and always being complimentary of each other and every team. It’s not about where you place, it is about learning to perform and learning to show how much character you have when things do not always go as you expected. Dance is an art and it is very difficult to judge. As we always have said, it is an opinion. Our technique scores were very high and broke many ties. That is why it is so important to attend your ballet technique classes and the workshops that concentrate on technique as much as possible.

Tryouts will be held on July 24 and July 25. We will post a schedule soon on our website. Please wear all black dancewear. We will have the University of Tennessee Dance team members judging our tryouts. Please be on your best behavior at tryouts. You do make an impression on these judges and they will mark your score lower if you enter the room with a bad attitude. We will use their scores to pick our teams this year, so please work hard over the next few weeks.

The Elite teams will also be selected from tryouts. Please understand the commitment if you are considering trying out for the Elite teams. If you need more explanation of the Elite teams, please feel free to email us for more info. We will try to work around school activities for rehearsal times, but we will not work around other dance studio schedules. Again, please understand the commitment to be an Elite dancer for Legacy.

We are very blessed to be associated with such wonderful families. The friendships you are creating will be ties that will last a lifetime.

NATIONALS!

We are so excited to be in our last few days of preparation for nationals! Thank you all so very much for all your hard work and dedication over the past couple of weeks in preparation for nationals.
Please try to arrive at the competition at least 2 hours before our compete times. A couple of the dances will be competing early (just like in Atlanta) due to costume changes. Arrive at the competition with hair and makeup done for your first dance.
Double check that you have all your costumes and accessories after packing your bags.
Please check with Shawn if you have any broken accessories. We do have a few extra accessories if needed.
Please buy new tights if needed. We want everything to look great!
Always be polite and complimentary of the other teams and of your teammates at all times.
We are so proud of everyone. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication in making this a wonderful first year.

Modification to Summer Schedule

We had to modify the summer schedule just a little. Andy was moved up to California last night and Shawn would like to go visit him the week of July 13. We moved ages 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 year old Boot Camp up a week and split the age groups. Please visit the website to view the updates, www.TheLegacyDance.com We also moved the junior / Senior Tryout Preps to the week before tryouts. Thanks for understanding!

Summer Intensive Prices Reduced

We have lowered the summer intensive prices in hopes that more students will be able to attend. We offer these classes in hour increments to have enough time to break down the proper technique in detail to the students. We would like as many of the students that would like to be on competition teams to attend these classes so that they can learn new skills to choreograph into our dances for next competition season. www.TheLegacyDance.com Thanks!

Next Week Intensive Schedule

We have changed the intensive schedule around a little next week so that maybe more of the younger students can attend the leaps and turns class. This is a very important class to attend. We understand that it is alot on the younger students with rehearsals and the intensives, but they will learn alot in the leaps and turns classes. Not complaining about the attendance, just trying to work it out so that more of them can attend this class. Thanks so much!

Legacy Elite Dance Company Information

Legacy Elite Dance Company Information

We have been receiving many questions about the Elite Company that will be selected at team tryouts. Hope this helps. If you have other questions, please email and we will be glad to answer them.

1.What is Legacy Elite Dance Company?
Legacy Elite will consist of up to 9 students selected from each team that will compete as Legacy small groups, duo/trios and solos in the 2010 – 2011 dance year.


2.How will the Legacy Elite students be chosen?
At the Legacy Competition Team tryouts on July 24 and July 25, the student and parent will fill out an application to be considered for the Elite Company. The Elite Companies will consist of the top scoring students within a distinct scoring range.

For example, if 12 students on the 10 year old team would like to be considered for the Elite Company, but only 7 of the students have scored high enough to be on the Elite Company, then only those 7 will be on the team.

Legacy also holds the right not to accept a student on the Elite Company, regardless of score, who does not have a good work ethic, bad attitude or causes problems in the classroom. The Elite Company will consist of students who want to take dance to the next level.

3. What are the expectations of the Elite Company students?
The Elite Company students will attend their regularly scheduled competition team rehearsal time which will continue to be one and half hour with one technique class required per week.

On top of the normal team requirements, the Elite student will also be required to attend Thursday night from 7:00 to 8:00 pm for ThunderBoltz and SpitFires and Thursday night from 8:00 to 9:00 pm for Phantoms and B52’s. We will work on advanced technical skills during this time. Also, choreography and rehearsals will be scheduled for many Saturdays, but not every Saturday.

4. What is the cost to be a member of the Legacy Elite Company?
Elite Team Members will be billed $15 more monthly on top of the regular competition team monthly statement.

LEGACY COMPETITION TRYOUT DATES SET

Legacy Dance Competition Team tryout dates have been set for July 24 for ThunderBoltz, SpitFires and Phantoms. July 25 for the B52s. Detailed times will be posted soon. If you have conflicts with these dates, please email TheLegacyDance@gmail.com and we will set up a pre-tryout for you. Thanks!
