We will be attending two major competitions this year. We need to register for these competitions in early January, so your competition fees are due January 2nd. Please give your money to us at class before the break, or bring it to Fit For Life by that date. Make checks out to Fit For Life. The fees are $151.00 total. The following is the information about each of the competitions:
Nampa Kick-off Classic:
$50.00
February 14
We will be performing all three dances. The times will be available closer to the date of the competition, but plan on being there early and most of the day. The fee for this competition covers your registration and a picnic lunch. You will need to drive down or have a parent drive you. If you need a ride, we will be trying to arrange carpools closer to the competition.
Lagoon National Competition:
$101.00
May 8-9
We will most likely only be performing on the 9th. We will know for sure closer to the competition date. We will be performing throughout the day, all three dances. Your fee covers registration for the three dances, entrance to park (with ride pass) and dinner together with the team. You will need to drive down yourself or with a parent. If you need a ride, we will be arranging carpools closer to the competition. You will also need to make arrangements to stay in Utah the night before the competition, as we may be competing as early as 7:00am. Several of our team members have family near the competition site, so if you need help arranging accommodations we will also be trying to get that figured out closer to the competition.
If you have any questions about competitions or fees, please get in contact with us as soon as possible! If you have a conflict with dates, we need to know now so we can figure out what we are going to do. If you are planning on doing a duet, these are the competitions we would like you to perform them for. The fees are $20/person ($40/couple) for each competition. If you were to do both competitions, you would need to pay $40 by January 2nd along with your other competition fees ($80/couple).
Keep practicing!!!

Competition Duets
There is an opportunity available to participate as a duet at our Lagoon competition and at our other performances. You can select your music if you would like to, just bring us at least three choices on a CD so we can select the best music for your dance. If you do not want to pick the music, let us know what dance (or dances) you would be interested in performing and we will select your music. The fee for the duet will be as follows:
Choreography: $40
Instruction (includes 4-one hour blocks of time): $25
Additional instruction: $10/hour
Competition Fee: $20
Total per person: $85
These fees are per person, so each member of the duet needs to pay this much. You will also be responsible for your own costuming, but we are willing to help you out with suggestions or advice.
We will not begin choreography on your piece until we have been paid in full by both partners. You each need to fill out the form below and give it to us with the money. Please make your checks out to Krista Hobbs.
If you would like to do a duet for our performances, but not for Lagoon, your fee will be $20 less (so $65/person).

November 5th Performance
October 21, 2008
Dear Students and Parents,
We are very excited to let you know about our first performance of the year. We will be performing at the Elks Club in Ontario for a Father/Daughter event that they hold every year. This event is important not only for practicing performing, but also they have told me that they will pass around a donation envelope after we perform in order to get some money for us. We can use this money for competition fees and costumes!
The performance is for November 5, 2008. Performers need to arrive by 6:45pm, and we will be performing sometime between 7:00-7:30. We are only performing the Cha Cha, so this performance should be really quick. We hope to have you out of there by 7:45-8:00.
We do not yet have our costumes for this year, although we hope to get them soon. For this performance we will be dressing as follows:
Men: Dress slacks, button down dress shirt, colorful tie, dress shoes (hopefully black). Hair combed straight back, Latin style.
Women: Black knee-length skirt, colorful top, dance shoes or black heels. Hair pulled back in a low bun, no bangs.
If you cannot make it to this performance, you need to let us know NOW! If you do not show up you will be letting down your partner and the team because your spot will be empty! If you let us know ahead of time we can make our formations work.
If you have any questions or need a ride, an outfit or any kind of help to get you to this performance, call us or email us or leave a comment on the website!
Thanks guys, we are so excited to start showing you off!

Shoes, Sponsors and Competitions!
Youth Performance class is getting ready to purchase shoes for all of the men and women. If you would like to see what the men's shoes look like/cost, please look at the following link:
http://www.allaboutdance.com/Bloch-Ultraflex-Split-Sole-Jazz-Shoe-for-Adults-S0403L?sc=2&category=685
I know we had talked about the women who had already purchased shoes last year not buying new ones, but Brian and I have decided to order new shoes for the ladies as well as the men. These new shoes should be more comfortable, and it will ensure all the ladies have the same shoes for performances. If you would like to see what these shoes will look like/cost, please check out the following link:
http://www.dancewearsolutions.com/dance_shoes/character/938.aspx
Don't order the shoes yet, we will order them together in order to offset shipping costs. We'll get everyone's size and money collected in the next two weeks and order the shoes as soon as we get those things.
Remember to look for your potential sponsors this week! We'll be getting the letter to you next week, and if you would like to get your sponsors now, I have already posted the letter on this blog...so feel free to copy/paste to your word processing program so you can print it out yourself.
Also, remember to think about/talk to your parents about the opportunity we presented for individual competition to replace our December 6th competition in Rexburg. We are tentatively looking at a December 13th competition in Idaho Falls, Idaho at Hillcrest High School. Costs would be very similar, we will let you know. It is a great opportunity!
See you at class!!
