Dance Results

Ok Spinnies so for dance tryouts we have 19 that's we have picked but the routine is choreographed for 24 so if your name isn't on this list you are fighting for the last 5 spots in the routine tonight. We feel like the rest of you are good just maybe need some work on technique or need your aerial so we have to fill those 5 spots. I will be watching tonight and seeing who is picking up on the choreography and working super hard. Hopefully we will have those 5 spots filled tonight. xoxo love you girls!

A Note From Emmy The Photographer

Hi ladies!

I am so excited for Saturday

The studio is located at 500 West and 230 South in the Art Space studio building. It will be on the West side of the street just south of gateway. When you park, park in the gravel area, NOT in the numbers. (your car will get towed) 

For your payment, you can make it tomorrow by card, check, or cash. I am fine with either. Checks need to made out to Emily Lowe. 

PLEASE arrive on time. We have a ton of girls to get through so we need to make sure we are running smoothly. 

Last but not least, when you get there park in the lot and the North East side of the building is where the entrance is, go in through those doors and go to the sign that says lobby. Go into the lobby take the elevator and then turn right and you will see me! 

I will be able to see you from the window also!

Try Outs

Dear Spinnies sorry to make you wait. I will post all results either late tonight or tomorrow morning.... but as far as dance goes..... I need to see more to feel good about making a final decision so we will make a final decision after our technique class during survivor week so until then hold tights with that one. Love you girls. I will text you as soon as I post results. XOXO

Next Weeks Schedule

Dear Spinnies here is the schedule for next week and for our Spinnie Night and the day after. This is going to be a really awesome week. I can't wait.
 
Please make sure to bring lots of water everyday. You will be provided with a healthy snack each day about half way through practice. Also bring....shoes to work out in and shoes to dance in. Most importantly a good attitude and lots of TEAMWORK!! xoxo
 
 
Monday - Practice 3:30-8:00 pm
 
Tuesday - Practice 3:30-8:00 pm
 
Wednesday - Practice 3:30-8:00 pm
 
Thursday - Practice 3:30-8:00 pm
 
Friday - Practice 3:30 - For The Rest Of The Night. 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
 
Time Slots -
 
            11:00 - Alexis C, Alexis S, Alexis G,  Gracee, Kassidee, Nash, Makenna, Sadee, Taylor, Alyssa.
           11:40 - Anna, Avi, Cali, Cameo, KayLyn, Primm, Riley, Sierra, Myranda, Shayla
 
           12:20 - Bailey, Kaili, Hack, Hanna, Britt, Elicia, Liz, Katie, Kayeliann, Lexi
 
Emmy wanted me to remind you that her studio isn't huge so parents you are welcome but it might be better that once you are done you leave until the team photo shoot at 1:00
 
    *We will also be doing class pics/ officer pics, but if you would like pics with a friend or sister let me know and I will ask her about cost.
 
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I AM SO EXCITED!!!
 
Right after the team pic we will be heading to the new Cinemark just off 5600 west and I will try and get a movie time as close to the end of the shoot as possible. We will then take the girls home after.
 
Hope you are all ready for a fun week Please text me so I know you read this. xoxo

REAL PERFORMANCE INFO

So excited for this!! The Spinnies will be doing their Zombie Edge Routine at the halftime of the Real Game. All Details Below.


REAL/BDT Performance

October 22, 2014


COST: The cost is $25 per dancer  (We will be paying for this from U of U fundraising so parents you do not need to pay the $25.00)

TICKETS: All spectators (friends and family) need to get their tickets through Jen Petrosky at REAL. Her contact info is: 801-727-2728, jpetrosky@realsaltlake.com. I need one parent to be in charge of all contact with REAL, they just want one point of contact per school. (Let me know if you are willing to help me out please and thank you) Spectator tickets are $20 and need to be purchased by Sept 10th.

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

Tryout Reminder

Hey lovelies! Just a reminder tomorrow for tryouts wear you black pirate tank with black spanx, tan tights and tan gore boots. Hair pulled back looking professional. Also bring a treat to share. Be in the dance room at 4:00 to get warmed up. We will start right at 4:30 and hopefully will be done around 7:30-8:00 xoxo!

Register My Athlete

Dear Parents and Spinnies. I need all of you to go login and register at my registermyathlete.com . If you already did and paid the $50.00 that it was saying you had to at first then they will just refund you or we can apply that to your drill fees let me know what you would like to do. That shouldn't be an issue anymore but we do need you girls to get all your paperwork done before the blue and gold game. Let me know if you have an problems or questions. Thanks. You are all amazing. Have a fantastic day!
