Coming Up

Dancers & Parents,
Keep checking the blog calendar for updates.  Fall Football and most Soccer games have been added.  July team bonding has been added.
Junior Belles will be Monday - Wednesday from 1:00-4:00pm.  We need dancers there one half hour early to set up and stay one half hour late to clean up.  We have 80 kids signed up!  Therefore, five JV gals will help each day.  We would love to have parents pitch in with crowd control and craft/snack.  An e-mail sign up was sent out yesterday.

Team Bonding - We look at bonding as being as important to our team health as practice.  Therefore we are putting the bonding dates on the calendar as soon as we can, so dancers can plan around the dates.  We have explained to the team that these are mandatory.  (We understand that July is an exception to this, as many families use this month to travel.) 

Pom Bags - Coach Karen and I decided to knock these out wearing our "mom" hats.  Thanks to AJ and Stacy for their help too.  They are coming along and they are super cute!  We may ask for help with the final touches (drawstrings and rosettes) at the end of the week.

Camp Clothes - Dancers will receive most of their camp clothes tomorrow.  They will need to wear assigned outfits each day to Junior Belles.  We will communicate what to wear with dancers.

Stoning - Be looking for an e-mail giving details about uniform stoning.  We will look at the end of this week and the beginning of next week.  We need a lot of help with this!

We will get a camp packing list out to dancers by the end of the week.

Captains have been selected.  We had a wonderful set of ladies who applied for captain.  It was a very tough decision as we have so many talented leaders.  We thank everyone who applied and will continue to look at each young lady for other opportunities to lead.  We took into account what we have observed in and out of practice, the way the cadidates led stretching.  We also had an interview process.  Finally, the team members had a questionnaire to fill out with their thoughts on which candidates had strengths in various areas.  Our Captains for this year are...Madison & Megan!  Congratulations to these great ladies.

Thank you for your continued support.  We love working with our dancers!  We have a fantastic team!
