Tumbling begins on Thursday, September 6

We are adding back tumbling on Thursdays from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm for $5 (pay the teacher as you attend). Our new teacher is Mrs. Meredith Roberts. Mrs. Meredith was a former University of Tennessee Knoxville Cheerleader. This class is not mandatory but we like to offer it so that we can add tumbling into our dances.

Vegas and South Carolina Info

We called today to make our reservations for Vegas. If you tell them you have more than 2 people in your room, they charge you $30 - $35 more per day. We decided that we just had 2 people in our room! When you call be prepared to pay the first night plus tax which is $128. It is refundable if you cancel wthin 48 hours of your arrival date. The number to call for reservations is 1-800-627-6667


We have made our February reservations for Greenville, SC as well. They do sell out and they do overbook so be prepared to make your reservation soon and arrive early in the day on Friday to get the type of room that you want (double bed vs King). number to call is 1-800-891-3797 for Greenville Hyatt reservations.

Neither trip is mandatory. The students really enjoyed the workshops and watching the competition last year. It was a great experience. Cost of the workshop has gone up to $210 per student this year. We will need to start collecting the money soon and send it in to make sure the students that are interested get to participate.

You can checkout the West Coast Dance Explosion website for more information.

Let's Get Started!

I know we are early this year but I would like to get us started on our Saturday schedule beginning on Saturday, August 25. The Saturday schedule is posted on the website under the 2012-2013 link at the top of the home page.


We will begin working on parts of the line dance on Saturday. I only need the SpitFires for the 11 and under line this Saturday and I will contact a few people to start the beginning of the 12 and over line dance.

Please attend your company workshops with Alex every Saturday unless told otherwise. Small groups have been contacted and notified of your practice schedules and should attend Thursday or Saturday Rehearsals this week. Graduating Senior small group will begin a little later due to their busy schedules.

Music Requirements for This Year

The SpitFires, ThunderBoltz and BombShells will be dancing to the greatest version of Proud Mary!  Thanks so much to our music producer for always creating amazing music for our students!  We would like for everyone to get a small cd holder to carry all their music to all competitions.   We will be burning everyone a copy of each song as the songs become finalized.

Viva Las Vegas!

Just want to make sure everyone understands that the Vegas trip is not mandatory or expected at all. We have a few that are very interested in going and continuing with their workshop studies, but no one should feel any pressure to go. Gatlinburg will be our nationals trip. Vegas is just for educational purposes. Thanks so much!
