EDF dance camp

We have run into some issues with choreographers for dance camp which is going to require us to change the date.  We are now looking at September 4th, 5th, and 7th.  If anyone has any major conflicts with this date please let me know ASAP.  I can not guarantee that I will change the date, but I will see what I can do.

travel suits

I am ordering swarovski crystals to put on my girls travel suits.  Please let me know before July 9 if you would like me to put crystals on your travel suits so that I can order enough crystals.  The crystals range in price from 8 to 25 cents a piece depending on size and color.  I am going to use 4 different sizes in crystal, black, and red.  I think it will cost about $40 a travel suit, but I am not sure.    Also, if you don't have a travel suit and you need to order one please let me know by July 9th so that I can get yours ordered.  Thanks!   HUT HUT!

EDF COSTUME FEES

The fee ($95) for your jazz costume is due July 2nd.  If anyone wants me to include this amount in their EFT please let me know ASAP.  All teams will do at least one jazz routine, so this fee is due from every student who plans to compete this year.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  Thanks!   Hut Hut!

IMPORTANT NOTES FROM EDF

*SUMMER ATTENDANCE* We have had many calls, texts, and emails from parents, students and teachers regarding summer attendance at dance.  We realize summer is a busy time full of family fun, but we do have to require some attendance in the summer to make it fair to all dancers, parents, and teachers.  Summer is an important time where the dancers can focus on technique and skills and not so much on competition routines.  It is not fair for the dancers who attend and improve their technique and master some skills to then have to be on a team with dancers who took the summer off and did not master those same skills.  We will be taking roll everyday,  and it is required that company kids attend AT LEAST Monday or Wednesday and one ballet class a week in the summer.  Xtreme dancers must attend AT LEAST one day a week of their classes in the summer.  Of course we would like to see all the dancers in all their classes over the summer, but we know that many of you have fun family things planned and we understand.  If you have a vacation planned that will require your dancer to miss a week or more of dance please call the studio and let us know ASAP.  As parents Misty and I both do our best to make sure that our own girls attend as much class as possible during the summer.  If you don't feel like you are able to commit during the summer, please let Misty or I know and we can move your dancer to a different team.  Thanks for understanding and respecting our attendance policy.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. *BALLET INTENSIVES/POINTE* Cati is coming to EDF to teach a ballet intensive.  (dates and fee info is coming)  If you want to be considered for pointe, you MUST attend the ballet intensive.  Keep in mind that just because you attend it does not mean you will be put on pointe, but you must attend to be evaluated by Cati.  She will decide who is ready and will let us know.  Her decisions are final. *TEAM OUTFITS* I will be placing the order for team out fits on June 25th.  Team outfits are not required, but are highly recommended.  It is always nice to have an outfit that the entire team has to use for basketball games or other performance opportunities.  It is also handy in costumes in case we need to add a shirt or shorts (as we saw in last years costumes).  Team costumes will be $57.50 for black sequin top and black hot shorts.  They come in sizes 4-6, 6x-7, 8-10, 12-14, XS, S, M, L, XL.  They have to be paid for by June 25th or they will not be ordered.  If you have any questions let me know.  Thanks!

EDF SUMMER SCHEDULE

Here is a copy of the summer schedule.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know ASAP.  As always if your dancer made a team that is too high of a commitment level for you, let me know and we will move them to a more appropriate team. The summer tumbling schedule is Tuesday & Wednesday 10AM-12PM & 5-7PM.  If you didn't attend in May and would still like to it will be $100 for June, July, and August.  Tuition for tumbling is not included in dance tuition.  It is an additional fee. Cheer teams will be announced by this weekend.  Please remember your $10 music fee is due on Monday.  Misty would like the Elite Smalls to do a jazz and a hip hop this year, and she would like all the Xtreme teams to do a lyrical in addition to their jazz and hip hop.  That is the goal.  We will see how things go this summer.   EDF 2009 SUMMER SCHEDULE ELITE TOTS TUESDAY 4:30-5:30PM JAZZ-MR/AB ELITE TINYS TUESDAY 4:30-5:30PM JAZZ-AB/MR ELITE SMALLS TUESDAY 4:30-5:30PM JAZZ-LK TUESDAY 5:30-6:30PM HIP HOP-MR XTREME MINIS TUESDAY 5:30-7PM JAZZ-AB THURSDAY 4:30-5:30PM HIP HOP-MR THURSDAY 5:30-6:30PM LYRICAL-MR XTREME PETITES TUESDAY 4:30-5:30PM JAZZ-LK TUESDAY 5:30-6:30PM HIP HOP-MR THURSDAY 4:30-6PM LYRICAL-AB THURSDAY 6-7:30PM BALLET-AB XTREME JUNIORS TUESDAY 5:30-7PM JAZZ-LK TUESDAY 7-8PM HIP HOP-MR TUESDAY 8-9PM TURNS & TECHNIQUE-MR THURSDAY 4:30-6PM LYRICAL-AB THURSDAY 6-7:30PM BALLET-AB XTREME SENIORS TUESDAY 5:30-7PM JAZZ-LK TUESDAY 7-8PM HIP HOP-MR TUESDAY 8-9PM TURNS & TECHNIQUE-MR THURSDAY 4:30-6PM LYRICAL-LK THURSDAY 6-7:30PM BALLET-LK THURSDAY 7:30-9PM JAZZ-MR COMPANY MONDAY 4:30-6PM JAZZ-MR MONDAY 6-7:30PM HIP HOP-MR MONDAY 7:30-9PM LYRICAL-MR TUESDAY 7-8:30PM COMPANY BALLET & POINTE-AB WEDNESDAY 4:30-6PM TURNS & TECHNIQUE-MR WEDNESDAY 6-7:30PM JAZZ-MR WEDNESDAY 7:30-9PM HIP HOP-MR THURSDAY 6:30-7:30PM LYRICAL-MR THURSDAY 7:30-9PM COMPANY BALLET & POINTE-AB

cheer tryouts

Don't forget cheer tryouts are tomorrow at 10AM.  The audition/registration fee for cheer is $15.  If you already paid an audition/registration fee for an EDF dance team we will reduce you fee to $5.  If you bring a new student with you to auditions your fee is waved.  Auditions will be about 2 hours long.  Teams will practice one and a half hours a week and tuition will be $30 per month.  If you have any questions please let me know.  Thanks!

TAGGED: BEWARE!

Hello all!  Today I am being swamped with messages from a "social networking" site named Tagged.com.  This site is a known spam site at best.  At worst, they could do some real damage.  They make out like they are above board (owner is a Harvard grad they say...  SO??).  However, their privacy policy has a lot of holes in it.  Also, they ask you for your email account password.  If you give them the password they will read all your contacts and send them invites on your behalf.  If you sign up then they will make all your constacts friends....  It goes on.  Think!  If they have your email password then they can log on and read your email.  Do you have "sent mail" with account and credit card info?  Guess what!  If you signed up PLEASE change your email password.

This site is BAD!!!!!

Audition results

Here are the results you have all been waiting for.  Please know that ALOT of thought, care, and concern went into all the team placements.  Audtitions are always hard because we love all the girls and the parents at EDF.  The team placements were based off of what was best for each individual dancer and also what is best for our EDF team.  Age, ability, height, maturity, personality,  etc were all taken into consideration and we think we have formed some amazingly talented teams. Over the summer Misty and the other teachers will be watching the teams closely.  If it is necessary to make adjustments in any of the teams they will do so in the summer.  Please be patient and allow the teachers the time to see how all of dancers work together on their teams.  Please respect and trust in the choices that we have made. I sometimes make mistakes when typing out these lists.  If your dancers name is not inclued on a team please email me so I can add them.   ELITE TOTS CRESIDA HANSEN NEVAEH PEREGINA TRYSTAN EGBERT DALLAS SMOOT SAIGE SNEDDON HANNAH BILLS RYLEE KIER ASHLEY NOAR ELLA TAMS   ELITE TINYS IZABELA MARSHALL MCKENDRIE MASSINGILL LAUREN MAY HADLIE EPPEL SOPHIA HERRICK GRACIE EAST KAMBRYELLE HOSKINS CHLOE TAMS   ELITE SMALLS GRACE TAMS ADDY LEFEVRE CORA BUDGE MADDY KOFFORD JACY BENNETT ANNA TAMS   XTREME MINIS PAYTON TUCKER MEGAN EGBERT ALEXYS RANEY WILL BAXTER KATELYN SNEDDON MCKINLEY STEWART MYLEE MARIOTT JAXX BAXTER SYDNEY SATTERTHWAITE YESENIA GIL   XTREME PETITES KENNADEE POULSEN KATE NELSON GRACIE REDD MOLLY HANNON ZANDRA GAJEWSKY-LEE JAMI COMBE BAILEY MILES   XTREME JUNIORS --ALEXX BAXTER --KAMRYN KIMBER ALEXA CHRISTIANSEN *CASSIDY STEWART BRIELLE REDD ABBY SMOOT AUBREY AINGE --company dancers *may be asked to compete in one or more company routines.   XTREME SENIORS KASSIDY THOMAS ABBIE KIER *SHANIA STEGAN ANNALEE CHADWICK *CASSI TURNER KENNEDY MADSEN KAYSHIA PULSIPHER *CHELSEY HOLDEN COURTNEY AINGE *may be asked to compete in one or more company routines.   COMPANY ASHLYNN SNEDDON CHLOE EGBERT LAUREN GRIFFIN ALEXX BAXTER MCKAHLL STRONG KAMRYN KIMBER RYLIE TUCKER MEGAN CASHMORE HAILEY MAY MADDIE MASSINGILL MCKENNA WARD MYKELL SWARTZ COURTENEY MITCHELL ABBIE LAYTON SAMM BAXTER TASIA CHESHIRE SABRINA PICKETT BAILEY BARTO KENADY KIMBER CHALEY DIARTE JESSIKA WATANABE LEXI KIRKBRIDE GABBY LEFEVRE MIRANDA RAMSEY   Thanks so much to all the dancers who auditioned!  You are all very talented and should be very proud!
