Thank You!

Thank you all for participating in the Senior Recognition on Saturday! The food was so great! We had a great time! We love and will miss our graduating Seniors so much! We will have refreshments on Wednesday, May 16th for all of our Graduating Seniors from 8:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Everyone is invited to join us for the festivities.

We are excited about performing in Atlanta. There will be many great studios that we have not competed against before so let's all be prepared to do our very best. We want you to have a wonderful time in Atlanta but get in bed early and be ready to dance. Check all of your costumes and accessories. It's a long way back to Nashville from Atlanta. Double check your lists!

Let's work hard this week. Please try to attend all of the ballet techniques this week.

The Promise and Earth need to come earlier on Thursday for rehearsals. SpitFire Company Workshop is cancelled on Thursday. We are leaving on Thursday at 7:00 pm to head to Atlanta in the big truck. BombShells will not have class on Friday.
Shawn's cell 708-0194, Janie's cell 708-0936. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any problems while in Atlanta. Thanks!

Stage One Nationals Information

I have been working with Stage One on qualifying Grease and Foot Prints for Nationals. They will not let us send a video to qualify so whoever can come to Gatlinburg and dance in the qualifications on Thursday, June 28th, that will be great. If you cannot come and did not plan to come until Friday, June 29th, it's ok. We will just do the dance the best we can and at least qualify. Everyone will pay $35 for the qualifications (whether you can make it or not on the 28th, sorry) and then the $45 for our nationals. NexStar really spoiled us last year by not requiring all dances to qualify as long as the student was qualified. Sorry about this. Let us know immediately if you will not be able to be in Gatlinburg on Thursday, June 28th to dance in the qualifications. Thanks for all you do! See you all at the picnic on Saturday!

Stage One Nationals Fees - What to Expect

Time is flying by. We would like to get the Stage One Nationals fees in before their deadline. The Atlanta competition filled up so quickly that they had to cut off registration early. Below are the fees for the Stage One Nationals. They will be on your May bill which will have to be paid in full to receive your recital tickets. Some of you have already paid $125 toward these fees. This amount will be deducted from your Stage One Charge on your May bills. Thanks! If you do not pay, you will not be entered. This applies to paying for groups as well. We do not have the money to be paying competition fees for you. Thanks for understanding this.

I have a call into the competition to find out if we will have to pre-qualify Grease and Foot Prints. I expect to the answer to be yes, so plan on Grease being $35 for the regional qualifications and $45 for the national entry fee, same for FootPrints. I will pass this information along to you when I hear back from the director.


2012 Stage One National Finals Entry Fees
Solo $100.00 per entry
Duet/Trio $110.00 per entry
Small Group $45.00 per person
Large Group $45.00 per person
Line $45.00 per person
Photogenic
$40.00 per entry (Solo only, maximum two photos per entry,
and will be judged before the solo division for the age group begins)

Stage One TENTATIVE Schedule - Atlanta

Hello Everyone! Hope you are enjoying your break! I received the Stage One Atlanta schedule today and it is 3 full days. They have over 500 entries registered and they had no other choice other than to make Friday a full day and night. Please email me immediately if you have a problem with attending on Friday. They said they would refund your money if you are a soloists and cannot attend on Friday due to school or other activities. This is a nationals qualifications but if you are a soloists and cannot attend on Friday, you can pre-qualify at nationals by doing your solo in Gatlinburg before the competition begins.
