Taking These Lemons and Making Lemonade

Dear Parents as you probably heard we will no longer be competing this Saturday at the Juan Diego competition. We would have had to dance with holes due to circumstances within our team..... with that said if we were to go and dance with holes no matter how well the girls did they would have a hard time getting a good placement due to loosing points for formations and routine. If these girls weren't a first place team I wouldn't stress about it as much but these girls have set goals and have worked so hard to get there and we have had some crappy things come up but I truly believe to be a true champion you have to learn how to overcome these obstacles and let nothing get in the way of your goals. So that's the mentality we are taking. We are starting fresh today ready to work hard so when we take that floor on the 20th this is a team that is confident, ready, and all there, so that this competition can be a positive experience and not a disheartening one. I deeply apologize for any and all inconveniences this has caused but we are still going to practice Saturday morning form 7:30-10:00 then we are going to head over and observe the competition taking notes and learning a ton while watching. Please call me with any questions or concerns. Sara and I truly appreciate the love and support that has been shown as this is a tough situation for the team but the love and support makes it so much easier to get through these obstacles so thank you for being the greatest parent ever and I'm so excited for the 20th and for these girls to be able to finally show their amazing talent, skill, and ability - we fixed all costuming issues so the girls will truly be phenomenal.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Alyssa! We Hope You Have A Great Day!! Love You! XOXO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday Riley! We Hope You Have A Great Day!! Love You! XOXO

Tonight's Situation

Dear Spinnies

                      As you all know Alysaa hurt her knee pretty bad last night she went to Urgent Care after and she has torn some ligaments in her knee. If she is going to 100% healthy by Tuesday for our preview she needs to keep her brace on and not bend her knee at all for 3 days. She has been doing everything at home to make it better for tonight but she is still in a lot of pain so I don't want to risk causing more damage and having her out next week. WE REALLY NEED EVERYONE HEALTHY EVERY DAY NEXT WEEK!! So I am so sorry you to do this again but because we need alysaa for multiple parts in this routine to make it work we will not be dancing tonight. I know your probably sad but we still have lots of games to dance at and we have our preview on Tuesday to perform all of our 3 routines we are competing Saturday which still gives you that advantage of having performed before competing which a lot of teams don't get. So the plan for tonight is we are still going to do flag and you girls are all still required to go to the game. I need everyone to meet in the dance room at 6:30 we will have our team meeting- flag 3 will do flag - and then we will be having an officer meeting. After the officer meeting I will stay the entire game in the dance room if you girls would like to come in and I can help you with anything you would like to work on. Tonight at the meeting you will be getting your dance shoes tights and all other things minus costumes. You will get costumes Tuesday because I need to finish putting lights on kick and rhinestone dance. We will have practice tomorrow morning and will be going to comp. Ladies don't let this stress you out. Look for the positives and after we have kick solid tomorrow I just know next week will be amazing I can feel it. Love you girls and I am so sorry for the craziness of the last couple weeks with injuries and me being gone. I honestly believe to be a champion though you have to learn how to roll with the punches and make the best out of these situations because stuff like this always happens to every team.  Please text me so I know you got this and I will see you all at 6:30 tonight xoxo.

P.S. I have all parent spirit wear from Backstage so you can pick that up from me tonight as well!! xoxo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happy Birthday Gracee! We Hope You Have A Great Day!! Love You! XOXO

This weeks schedule

ladies from here until state we all need to make sure we are winning every hour at practice and all being team players.

Wednesday - Practice 3:30-8:00 pm

When you come to practice you need to have hair done for performance (details to come soon) Please make sure to bring your Blue Spinnaker top with your gold shorts, tan tights, tan gore boots, and tape. Also everything you will need for our sleepover. Britt is making a packing list for you girls. You girls will be dancing at the blue and gold game and we will stay and watch until the end. After we are going out to dinner at Chili's. You do not need money. After we eat dinner we will be heading to Brittney Jacketta's house to do our Spinnie Night. This is a long-standing tradition and is a really fun team bonding night. I am so excited.

 

Saturday - Breakfast around 7:30 then head home to get ready for our TEAM PICTURES. This was kind of a last minute choice but we thought it would be the perfect time to do it since we would all be together. We got an awesome photographer who is giving us a great deal. We will be doing the pictures at her studio. I will attach her package/pricing list. We are starting the photo shoot at 11:00 so if everyone leaves Britt's by 8:00 that will give you a good three hours to go home and get ready. She will send me directions to her studio later this week and I will post them. She will also have a hair stylist/makeup artist there to help touch you girls up as needed. Below I will post the times you need to show up. After you photo shoot time you are welcome to grab lunch or leave for a little bit but everyone needs to report back at 1:00 pm for team/class pictures. She is estimating to be done around 2:30. After we will all be heading as a team to the new Step-Up movie. You do not need to pay for this. After the movie you girls will be excused to do what you need to do for the rest of the day. I hope you girls are excited because this will be a really fun day.

 

Attire : Team Picture - You must wear all black but can accessories with anything gold. Please wear something professional and classy. We are wanting more fancy than casual. For the team pic no boobies, booties, tube tops, or tummies showing. You can wear a tank as long as its not a spaghetti strap. For your action shot we would also like you to wear all black. It can be whatever you want obviously something you can dance in. The backdrop will be all white so its will be a really pretty contrast. We decided if you would like to wear high wasted shorts and just a little bit of your tummy above your belly button was showing that would be fine, but no full tummies showing, booties, or boobies. Keep it classy and professional. For your headshots/full body shots you can wear what you want I just need one in what you wear for team pic. If you get more than that you can wear whatever you want. They are you pics. :). Hope this will work great for everyone. I apologize again for it being only 8 day notice but its hard to get the girls all together on a Saturday without prior commitments so we thought this Saturday would be great since you already had it scheduled out for our activity. Let me know if you have any conflicts or if financially you need some help. Emmy said you can pay....cash, check or card. She would like to have a count of what package each girl is doing before the shoot. So if you could text me as soon as you know that would be great so I can give her a count. Also she said you can add on to any package anything you would like.

 

For your action shot please have a few ideas before you get there. Google some pics spotlight the things you are amazing at. xoxo

SCHEDULE: Practice will start at 6:30-8:15am at Soccer City 757 West 11400 South in Draper. It is a huge Soccer Complex that they have rented out to practice at since High Schools are in session and need their gyms. We will space everything at this time.

 At 8:15am we will head to REAL to practice until 10am. They only allow us 1.5 hours on the field, and this particular time only.

 At 10:15am we will go back to Soccer City and practice until 12:30.

BREAK from 12:30-5:00 At this time we will be eating lunch together as a team and getting ready for performance.

We will practice at a High School near the REAL stadium (hopefully Jordan)…just waiting on a few details. I will keep you posted. We will meet there at 5:00pm-6:00 to get ready and warm up, 6-6:45 we will review.

We need to be at REAL at 7pm.

Game starts at 7:30pm

Performance around 8:15pm.

COSTUME: (Note from BDT) Come prepared with your zombie costume. Reminder to keep the colors more earthy and not neon. They can be ripped, burned, dirtied up, etc. We just do not want any blood. You could have wedding dresses, tutus, overalls, button up dress shirts, pants, skirts, capris, t-shirts, or whatever your creative minds can come up with. Just make sure that each dancer has their own costume and you do not do a team costume that matches. All dancers need to bring their own makeup. Just simple black, gray and white.

When we practice we will wear a team practice outfit that will be assigned later.

This is going to be such a fun performance. Let me know if you have any questions xoxo

How to Get Higher Leg Extensions

     

Kat Black

Kat Black is a professional writer currently completing her doctorate in musicology/ She has won several prestigious awards for her research, and has had extensive training in classical music and dance.

Improvement in the height of leg extensions requires strong hip flexors and flexible hamstrings and adductors.

Strengthening the Iliopsoas

The iliopsoas muscle complex consists of three muscles -- psoas major, psoas minor and iliacus -- that work together to flex the hip joint. Weakness in these muscles will make it impossible for you to lift your leg higher than hip height, or 90 degrees. To strengthen the iliopsoas, sit on the floor and extend your left leg in front of you. Bend your right knee to place your foot on the floor. Lean back slightly, placing some of your weight on your hands. Inhale deeply. When you exhale, bring your right knee toward your chest. Slightly lower your thigh and bring it back up four times before lowering your right thigh and returning your foot to the floor. Repeat four times with the same leg. Then, switch legs.

      
 

Tips and Tricks for the Iliopsoas Exercise

When you begin to strengthen your iliopsoas, perform the exercise with your pelvis slightly tucked under by transferring more of your weight onto your hands. As you gain strength and awareness of your iliopsoas, keep the pelvis in a neutral position with less weight on your hands so you work the iliopsoas while maintaining proper dance alignment. To focus the work on the iliopsoas, make sure you don’t lift your right hip to bring your right knee toward your chest. Lifting the hip indicates you are contracting your gluteal muscles. Contracting these muscles will make it more difficult to perform high leg extensions. Instead, feel your sit bone, or ischial tuberosity, on the bottom of your pelvis dropping into the floor.

Hamstring Flexibility

Flexible hamstrings allow you to straighten your legs when you lift them to the front or side of your body. Targeting all of the hamstring muscles is necessary to prevent imbalances in the flexibility of the muscles on the backs of your legs. Begin by lying on the floor. Bend your right knee and place your foot on the floor. Grab your left foot with your left hand and straighten your left leg. Bring your leg as close to your torso as possible. Hold the stretch for several breath cycles. Then, move your leg to the left of your body as far as possible. Hold this position, which stretches both the hamstrings and the adductors, for several breath cycles. Finally, bring your leg to the right, crossing it in front of your torso. Hold for several breath cycles before repeating with the other leg.

Adductor Flexibility

Your adductors are on the inside of your upper thigh. Flexible adductors are necessary for leg extensions to the side. To stretch these muscles, sit on the floor and open both legs to the side as far as possible. Place your hands on the floor in front of you and walk them away from your body. Lower your torso toward the floor as far as possible. Hold the stretch, breathing regularly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Happy Birthday Kay Lynn! We Hope You Have A Great Day!! Love You! XOXO
