We will start back on Monday, January 2. This includes all ballet classes. Hope to see you all there!

Saturday, January Rehearsal and Other Info

Happy Holidays to Everyone! We hope you are all enjoying your break.

Please try to catch up on all outstanding balances. The $15 late charge will be added to the January statements for all outstanding balances. Sorry to have to mandate this but we have to get our receivables under control asap. We can no longer finance anyones costumes, comp fees or monthly tuition. We have been burnt too many times lately and can not afford to continue running our business in this manner. So please catch up to be current as soon as possible to avoid the monthly late fee. Thanks in advance for understanding this and thanks to those of you who always stay current on your balance. We truly appreciate this.

Also, the January statements will have the March 2 NexStar Competition Fees. If we waited to put the fees on the February statement, then we would not meet the deadline. Solos will be $85, title will be $30, group dances will be $35 per student per dance and $95 for duo/trios split between 2 or 3.

WCDE in February competition does not have soloists competing their solos. Soloists compete for scholarships during the auditions on that Sunday. You will audition with the dance you learn at the workshop and not your choreographed solo. Duets and Trios will be competing at WCDE. The cost is $49 per dancer. Since we do have any other full groups attending, we will only compete The Promise and Prettiest Girls. This fee will be added to your January statements. Please email if you have any questions on this.

Happy Holidays

Too many times, I take things for granted. I can be myopic and fail to see all the blessings God gives me.

At this Christmas season, I am reminded again how blessed I am to work with you all. You are some of the most gifted people I have ever known. I do count you among my greatest gifts.

Have a wonderful, safe and joyous Christmas season! We love you all! Merry Christmas and a very happy happy New Year!

Saturday, November 12 and Sunday, November 13

Sorry for the schedule changes for the weekend of November 12 and November 13. My good friend is a Nurse Practitioner at Vanderbilt and she left on Friday for a mission trip to Kenya to help with surgery for heart patients there. She also coaches Brentwood High School's dance team and she asked me to attend State competition with them on Saturday morning at MTSU. My friend does so much always for so many people that I definitely want to help her out. So here is our schedule for the weekend of Saturday, November 12 and Sunday, November 13. Please let me know if there are any concerns:

Group 1 and Group 2 - Phantoms and B52 Production - Saturday, November 12 2:00 - 4:00
Graduating Senior Small Group Saturday, November 12 4:00 - 5:00

Reagan - Sunday, November 13 2:00 - 3:00
Cassie - Sunday, November 13 3:00 - 4:00
Hot Notes - Sunday, November 13 4:00 - 5:00 pm

Sorry, I generally try to avoid Sunday rehearsals but feel that we should rehearse to keep moving along.

Thanks!

Some Updates

Nolensville is having a Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, Nov. 5th at 11:00 am. Please make sure you leave in time to reach the studio for your rehearsal time.

I have a very very large outstanding receivables balance due to costumes and outstanding nationals balances from last summer. Please help me try to reduce this balance as soon as possible. I don't mind paying up front for your costumes but many of you haven't paid me all year and your balances are getting out of hand. From now on if you have a large balance, you will have to pre-pay before I can order your costume on an individual basis. I just cannot operate my business with this much outstanding. Also, if you have not paid all year, please decide immediately if you should be dancing this year. We are going into our 4th month now with no payment received from some of you. I don't mind helping out sometimes but this is not cool.

Thanks!

Workshop and Tryout Info

Hope everyone is enjoying their week off! Mel and Alex will be flying in on Sunday and they are very exciting about the workshop. Please give them your full attention at ALL times! They are very very well trained dancers and you can learn so much from them. Mel and Alex both trained at Larkin Dance Studio in Minnesota and I have so much respect for their dance teachers and studio. They are one of the best studios in the country.

We will be split up by age groups. If you are trying out for the B52's, you will be in the Seniors group. If you are trying out for the Phantoms, you will be in the Teen group. If you are trying out for the SpitFires, you will be in the Junior Group. If you are trying out for the ThunderBoltz and BombShels, you will be in the mini group.


Alex and Mel will be judging you for placement. Always perform and do your best. Please wear dance attire. No big t-shirts please. You can wear loose clothes for the hip hop classes. Bring ballet shoes for ballet and tap shoes for tap if you are in mini-Extreme.

Please bring drinks and food. We will take a 30 minute break to eat. No one will have enough time to leave and run to Sonic, so please bring your lunch and snacks with you. We will have some light snacks and waters for you.

The studio will be open on Thursday and Friday for open rehearsals from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm on Thursday night and Friday during the day. I will post Friday hours later on.

Solos, duo/trios and small groups will be created throughout the year in 2011 - 2012. Students who come to ballet technique and apply their technique correctly in the choreography will be chosen for these spots. We are looking for everyone to perform and really concentrate on your technique this year. We have got to start turning and stretching our feet. We are very excited about the new year!

There will be some specialty classes the week of August 8th for teams only. Watch your blogs for these classes and times.

Good luck to everyone. We love you all!

Words cannot describe how proud I am of all our teams this year. I just watched the recital video and I see you growing into such beautiful and graceful dancers.

TEAM TRYOUT INFORMATION

2011 - 2012 Legacy Company tryouts will consist of scores from the EXTREME Workshop and Saturday, July 30th tryouts. If you are not planning on attending the EXTREME Workshop or the July 30th tryouts due to uncontrollable circumstances, please contact Shawn this week to schedule a pre-tryout with Shawn and guest judges. We will let you know what the tryout fees will be. Please understand that you will have to pay more than the $12 tryout fee because the judges fees will still apply and the fees cannot be divided by 60 other people. If you are not able to meet with Shawn this week and not able to come to the EXTREME Workshop or attend the July 30th tryouts, we will NOT be able to put you on the teams listed when posted on July 31st. Shawn will be out of town the week after Nationals and will not return back to town until Sunday night before the EXTREME Workshop. We will be glad to work with our students interested in team but please understand that we cannot post you on a team until you tryout for that team. NO ONE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PUT ON A TEAM WITHOUT ATTENDING A PRIVATE OR GROUP TRYOUT.

SO BASICALLY IF YOU WANT YOUR NAME ON THE TEAMS LIST POSTED ON JULY 31 AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE EXTREME WORKSHOP AND TRYOUTS ON JULY 30TH, YOU NEED TO CONTACT SHAWN AND SCHEDULE A TRYOUT FOR THIS WEEK, BEFORE FRIDAY AT NOON.

PLEASE LETS US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS.
Thanks so much!

Appearance at Nationals

Sorry if this sounds like demanding but....

Please please do not wear tights with runs and huge holes in them. We have a few tights left over in the office if you need a new pair please get them. It does make a difference!

We do not need hats falling off or going over the eyes to block the students view. Please purchase the zip ties to hold on all hair pieces and barretts. There were too many accessories flying through the air at recital. Please take the time to make sure this does not happen at Nationals.

Please do not wear bright colored bunched up undies under your costumes. If you are not wearing tights, then cut off an old pair to wear under your booty shorts. If you are wearing tights, this should be good enough.

EVERYONE is to wear eyelashes, no exceptions!

Please make sure you have enough makeup applied.

Make a checklist and start packing your bags. Check it again when you arrive at Myrtle Beach.

We want to look great and dance great and have a great time!!!!!! So excited!!!

More Information About Nationals

Below is an email from NexStar with more information regarding Nationals Week. I encourage you to attend the master classes but they are not mandatory.


BIG SHOW:
Many of you have questions regarding the Big Show. The time has been changed to a 9:00 start time.

The final day of our competition consists of our Big Show. You will receive a schedule for this during the week; it starts at 9:00AM and generally we have everyone out by 3PM.

Throughout the week of Championships, High Scoring Routines will be invited to perform and re-compete on the final day of competition at "The Big Show". Invitations will be given to the following:

NEXSTAR Performance Level- The 3 highest scoring routines from the Small Group, Large Group and Line Divisions from each age group will be invited. Studios will be limited to 1 entry from each age group within each division. Trophies will be awarded to each division/age category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

NEWSTAR/PRESTAR Performance Level- The highest scoring NewStar Group from each age division and the highest scoring PreStar Group from each age division will be invited to perform. More invitations will be given if the number of entries warrants this.

MASTER CLASSES:
Our Master classes are absolutely FREE! They are NOT mandatory; encourage to go and learn and have fun doing it!!

Kim McVicar has been in several television shows and theater productions as a lead dancer, including MTV Video Music Awards. Her specialty is funk/hip hop. She has also choreographed pop videos with many live concerts and commercials.

Mark Burrell has appeared in numerous theatrical productions, and has extensive choreography experience with pieces including the Rockettes. He helps in training soap stars for "Dancing with the Stars" as well as continuing to remain on as faculty instructor and choreographer at Juilliard School, where he received his degree. His specialty is musical theatre and jazz.

Both bios will be available in our National Program; the above information DOES NOT do these Master Class Teachers justice :) It only skims the surface

Nationals Schedule Posted!!!

Sorry for the scrunched up typing. Of course, you all know the drill be there 2 hours before your start time(which is listed below) or when doors open. We will have print outs for you at the studio with more information. We are so excited!

Beginner Ballet Classes

Please try to attend the beginner ballet classes on Wednesday at 5:00 pm. These classes are included in your June package payment. Thanks!

Thank you! and a couple of other things

Thank you all so much for the beautiful rug! It is perfect and exactly what we needed for the front door. It looks great! Thanks for all the flowers and gift certificates and numerous other gifts. You all are always so generous!

We have received many many compliments on the show that I want to pass along to you. YOU ARE THE SHOW! It doesn't matter what kind of props that we use or how many lights are flashing, it's the dancers and their emotions that create the moment. Always smile and perform no matter whether you are on stage, in the school gymnasium or in the studio, someone is always watching you.

Have a wonderful week off. We will begin again on Monday, June 6th. Please visit the website under the Summer of Dance Link to find your rehearsal schedules along with the combo and Open classes.

ThunderBoltz, I have created an extra technique class on Wednesdays from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. I would like for only the students who want to attend and take this class serious to attend. We will not be talking and goofing around. It's time for you guys to learn some tricks and really learn to stand at the ballet bar without slumping and slouching. Parents, please do not let your student attend this class if they are not interested in working hard during this time. There is a $10 fee for this class that is payable before each class.

I expect to see you all at the 1 hour combination class before your scheduled rehearsal time. There is no extra cost for these classes. They are included in your June tuition. Let's really work hard these next few weeks. Nationals will be really tough and we to be as prepared as possible. I love you all and feel so blessed to be a part of your lives!

TPAC Stage Door Entrance

Due to circumstances beyond TPAC's control, the typical stage
door entrance to Tennessee Performing Arts Center on
Union Avenue will be closed during dance show season this
year.

The alternative stage door entrance to be used by all dancers
will be on 5th avenue between the loading dock to your left
and the entrance to the Tennessee State Museum to your
right. Please note that 5th avenue is a one way street heading
north. Please adjust your driving/drop-off patterns
accordingly, and be sure to observe all traffic laws. There are
a good number of stairs leading down from the street to the
glass doors of this entrance. Specific needs for our disabled
patrons will be made on a case by case basis.

There will be plenty of signs inside the building once you
have used the temporary stage door entrance. These signs will
lead you and your dancers to the dressing room area of your
respective hall. The enclosed map will help to display these
instructions as they pertain to your event.

We’re terribly sorry for this change, and we thank you in
advance for your cooperation.

We will have maps and printouts at the studio for you to take. Thanks!

Helpful Hints

We received an email that was sent to all studios that participate in the ShowStoppers Competitions. We thought it would be helpful to pass this along to the students:

Tricks of Champions
1. Unless you have a major costume malfunction a la Janet Jackson in the Super Bowl, Keep Going!

2. Save the lip synching for driving in the car.

3. Staring matches with the judges don't earn you extra
points. A quick glance won't hurt but keep your focus on the audience, not the panel scoring you.

4. Be happy! Your personality counts for more than you think.

5. Participate in every part of the competition, classes, awards....live in the moment. The team that plays together stays together and it shows on stage!

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.

So Proud!

So proud of the wonderful job our ThunderBoltz did this weekend! You all did a very awesome job!

Parents, Grandparents and Kristi's Mother, thanks to you all so much for adding all the extra accessories to this costume. They look great! Let's try to figure out how to keep their bustles on. We may even have to stitch one side to the belt and then pin the other. Also, please do not wear undies with this dance. If they feel uncomfortable, please cut off an old pair of tights to the crotch and wear them under the tights.

Awesome job! We received a choreography award for this dance. We will listen to the critiques tonight! Thanks to you all!

Enjoy This Time

You are all such a blessing to us. We are so excited for you all this weekend. Enjoy this time with your daughters 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 and make sure they get to their dance classes. 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!

Cal Girls Update

The capri tights won't be in the studio until Friday. We will bring them to the competition with us or you can drop by the studio on Friday and Andy or Kenny will give the tights to you. They will be at the studio from 4:30 pm until 6:15 pm. Still not sure if the flowers are going to make it. I have ordered from 2 different companies now. We will keep our fingers crossed on the flowers.

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!

Pink LipStick for Funky

Thanks to all the funky parents for continuing to add to the costume. Sorry we have gotten down to the last few days to finish up the details on this costume, but after this week there will be no more costuming until next year! Thanks to you all for being so helpful to each other and working as a team. We will need the Pink Nouveau lipstick for Funky. This is a MAC lipstick. I will pick up a couple of tubes at the mall today.

California Girls

Flowers and matching capri tights have been ordered. We will update the blog later in the week and you can stop by the studio or we can bring these items to the competition.

Everyone please put our cell phone number in your phone incase you need to contact us. 708-0194 or 708-0936

Ten Hut Hats

Please make sure you have black elastic on the ten hut hats. I noticed a few had white elastic. Also, please make sure the tops are not going to come out from the belt and shorts. Thanks!

Wow!

Everyone has worked so hard and it really showed last night! I am so proud of each and everyone of you! I am so blessed to work with such wonderful families!

Just a couple of things. We can't use enough hairpins. The crystal haircombs are heavy so make sure they are really secured.

If you are wearing a hairpiece, you have to really really use the pins. We do not need hair falling onto the stage.

If you are wearing a hat, use several barretts to clip the hat to your hair. Please do not think 1 bobby pin is going to hold the hat on.

Body tape works wonders for anything you do not feel comfortable in. Please use it.

UnMasked, Please bring your costumes on Saturday to adjust the length of the hem and the sleeves.

The NexStar schedule is posted. Please know when you dance and arrive ready 2 hours before your compete times. This will be a tough competition. Let's all work hard this week on putting alot, alot, alot of attitude in your dances.

Competition Fees and Deadlines

NexStar - Past Due. Please pay these competition fees as soon as possible. We went ahead and paid these fees since it is our national qualifications competition and we wanted to be sure we got into the competition.

Stage One - Due as soon as possible. They will not "guarantee" us a spot if we register later than 30 days out. This puts our pay by date to Stage One on 2/11.


There have been rumors that we are asking for competition fees a month in advance to receive a rebate from the competitions. Unfortunately, we have not been able to take advantage of these discounts due to the number of students with outstanding balances. If we are ever able to take advantage of these savings in the future, we will definitely pass this discount along to the students. And it is usually 35 to 45 days payable to the competitions to receive such discounts. Don't worry we are not making any extra money off of competitions.

We know it's been tough financially with back to back competitions and costumes. We understand it's tough times for everyone. We pray that things will get better for America soon.

We will continue to ask for the competition fees a month in advance to be sure that we get into the competitions that we want to attend. We are sorry if this causes issues with anyone. We do not like to wait to the last minute. We try to be prepared as much as possible and feel this is very important when trying to run a studio with over 200 students.

Please feel free to talk to us anytime with such concerns of why we make the decisions that we make.

Thanks!

Please pay your balances in full before Saturday, January 22. The competitions add %10 late fees to our final balance after their deadlines. We will be forced to split this fee among the students who have an outstanding balance. Our competition fees are over $6,000. This is an extra $600 that we would have to pay. We cannot be expected to pay this money for you. Please catch up on all your balances as soon as possible.

Shawn would like for the ThunderBoltz to do a Daddy or Granddaddy dance in recital. Is this going to work for everyone? Thanks!

Rehearsals Cancelled Monday, January 10

We will have to cancel rehearsal tonight due to the snow covered roads. I would like to rehearse on Friday, January 14 from 6:45 pm - 7:45 pm. Please email me asap if you cannot be at rehearsal on Friday, January 14 so that I can fill the spot with a team that can come at this time. Thanks!

Outstanding Balances

Due to the number of outstanding balances that have built up, we are going to have to start enforcing late fees. If the entire balance is not paid by the 15th of each month, we are forced to add $10 each month that a balance remains. Sorry to have to enforce this policy but we have a VERY large outstanding receivables balance to date. We will not be able to pay any student's competition fees upfront. If the student does not pay by the competition deadline, the student will not be able to participate in the competition. If you have an outstanding balance and "say" you are paying your competition fees but do not pay the remaining balance, we are not able to operate our business. The cost of competition dance should be no suprise to any of our existing students. We do realize times are hard but we cannot be expected to "carry" as many students as we are having to carry at this time. Please pay any outstanding balances in full in the next 2 weeks or let us know when you are planning on paying your oustanding balances. Thank you

Let's Do Costuming!

Hey ThunderBoltz Moms! Here we go with the Cadence Costume. Thanks so much to Kim Bundrant. She has designed the hat and it looks great! I have ordered the rhinestones for the white applique, I have picked up the yellow accents for the cuffs, hat and the collar and I have the tulling for the belts. I will bring my sewing machine and we can sew the black strips for the belts.

You will need to bring the following:
JoAnns has 2 inch wide elastic - you will need enough to go around their waist for the belts.
E6000 Glue
Red Thread
Black Thread
Needle
4 big snaps - the heavy duty kind. We will be using these to snap the belt to the trunks and tops as well.

This will give us a good start.

We have received their line dance music and we will talk about those costumes on Monday.
Have a wonderful week!
