Yea ThunderBoltz!

Way to go ThunderBoltz! So proud of you all! Platinums and top 5 in all your dances! Way to start off the competition season!

Thanks to all the parents for working so hard on costuming. They were absolutely beautiful!

Some exciting news...we are starting a new program on Saturdays for the ThunderBoltz from 10:00 am - 11:00 am. This new program will be called Team Workshop. Alex will work with our students to help them set goals and help them accomplish them. We will have more details to come. The first Team Workshop will begin on Saturday, March 17. Alex is a wonderful addition to our staff and she truly is interested in helping our students with their technique. So excited about this opportunity for the ThunderBoltz!

IMPORTANT -PLEASE READ

Thanks for coming to the dress rehearsal and helping us stay on time. I am a little worried about everyone being on the same page with tights, shoes, hair and accessories. This was to be a full dress rehearsal and we had many that did not have their snaps on their shorts to their skirts, no tights when needed, no shoes, hair falling every which way. The point of dress rehearsal is to make sure there are no costume malfunctions and also to make sure we all look the exact same and I am not sure that was accomplished. So below is a check list for each dance. Please make sure you check this list when packing for this competition. YOU WILL NOT GO ON STAGE IF YOU ARE MISSING PIECES OF YOUR COSTUME OR IF YOUR COSTUME IS NOT FINISHED

Please remember you are to arrive 2 hours early as ready as possible for your first dance. Please do not come in without makeup or hair done and spend the entire 2 hours getting ready. Space is limited at this venue for dressing and makeup and they could possibly be running 2 hours early. So it would be in everyone's be interest to come as ready as possible. We will try and rehearse each dance before going back stage....this practice time will only be for students and teachers. Parents, family and friends will be asked to finish any pictures and socializing before we break away for this practice, so the dancers can fully focus before heading backstage. Parents, please make sure you fully secure all hair pieces and hairstyles with tons and tons of pins and spray/gel. Judges will count off for hair falling out or any piece of the costume falling off. We need to make sure we safety pin any part of the costume that could possibly come unsnapped or fall off. Please bring tons of body tape...the good kind is from Performance Studios on Thompson Lane. Please make sure there are no holes or rips in your tights. Its always a good idea to bring a back up pair of each kind you wear. We WILL be wearing donuts with any kind of bun. This will need to be secured with a hair net also. I understand many of you are opposed to wearing the donut, but there is a good reason for it, or we wouldnt go through the trouble of wearing it. Eyelashes are MANDANTORY for all female dancers. NO exceptions for this.
