DANCE SHOES & TIGHTS

EDE Dancers & Parents, we will be ordering dance shoes & tights in January. EVERY dancer on our team MUST have this same dance shoe & performance tights! This is part of team unity & professionalism, which we will be critiqued on at competition.

Dance Shoes: If you purchased dance shoes earlier this year (or if you were on our team last year) we will be ordering the same dance shoe. All dancers who do NOT have this dance shoe will need to purchase it. The price for these dance shoes is $32. If you have shoes from earlier this year, or last dance season, they will need to be in PERFORMANCE CONDITION or you will need to order a new pair! This means your dance shoes can NOT have holes in them, nor many scuff marks. At the beginning of this dance season, most dancers tried on dance shoes for correct sizing. However, some dancers may have been absent or may have grown. We will have sizing pairs for dancers to try on during class time the first few weeks of January. Parents, if you would like approve of the size that will be ordered for your child, please come 5-10 minutes before their class time or near the end of class to have your child try on a dance shoe for sizing.

Performance Tights: If you were enrolled in classes with 24/7 Dance Company last dance season then the tights we will be ordering are the same performance tights that were used for the recital/competitions last year. ALL dancers on our team MUST have these performance tights. The cost of these tights is $6. If you have these tights from last year’s performances then they must also be in PERFORMANCE CONDITION or you will need to order a new pair! This means your tights can NOT have ANY holes (big or small) or any runs. In order for us to order the performance tights we need to know each dancer’s height & weight. This information is needed in order for us to order you the correct size of tights. Tights are an under garment, therefore we will not have dancers try them on for sizing, therefore is it VERY important that you give us accurate height & weight for each dancer to ensure you get the correct size ordered for you.

***If you are needing to order dance shoes and/or tights, you will need to be fitted for shoes & bring in your measurements for tights by Jan. 14th, we will order the dance shoes & performance tights right away & you will need to pay for them no later than FEB. 11th! Dance shoes & performance tights will be handed out as soon as they arrive, if you have paid for them in full & ALL other dues are paid up to date.***

Solos, Duos, Trios & Quads

Attention Soloists & Parents: Competition time is coming up very quickly! Soloists & Team members need to practice, practice, practice! We do not want to get caught unprepared! PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! The competitions we will be attending as a team are: Dance Spectacular Utah (held on March 27th) and Utah Dance Championships (held on April 30th for solos & May 1st for team routines). Both competitions will be held at Roy High School in Roy, Utah.

If you are competing a solo, duo, trio, quad or entering in the Cover Girl contest, it is YOUR responsibility to complete any entry forms necessary & to send it in to the competition with your payment by their deadlines. If you would like an application for a solo, duo, trio, quad or Cover Girl contest, please specify which competition and Dana will either give you a copy of the application or tell you the website in which you can download their applications. On your application you MUST put the studio/company name: 24/7 Dance Company AND our team name: Elite Dance Extreme. **It is your responsibility to bring your music to the competition, as stated in the applications.**

If you are competing a solo, duo, trio or quad, I personally suggest entering BOTH competitions. In this case after the first competition, you can go over your score sheets with your choreographer to see what the judges liked about your performance, what they suggest you practice, & if you would like to make any changes to your routine. This way you can improve or do just as well at the second competition.

Prices for Dance Spectacular (March Competition)
Solo: $60.00 each Duo: $40.00 each girl
Trio: $35.00 each girl Quad: $35.00 each girl

Prices for Utah Dance Championships (April/May Competition)
Solo: $59.00 each Duo: $35.00 each girl
Trio: $35.00 each girl Quad: $35.00 each girl

At Dance Spectacular Utah (March Competition) there is also a photogenic contest called “Cover Girl.” To enter, contestant must complete the entry form and enclose a VERTICAL 8x10, color or black & white recent photo of themselves. (Photo must reflect contestants age). The cost to enter into the Cover Girl division is $40.00 for the 1st entry and any additional entry of the SAME person is an additional $25.00.

BOTH Competitions state that anyone who competes a solo, duo, trio, quad will receive a trophy. Dance Spectacular states that anyone who enters in the Cover Girl contest will receive a trophy.

Any dancers on our team that compete a solo, duo, trio or quad will have first priority to perform their routine at our year end recital!!!

Costumes & Competition Fees - Lyrical & Hip-Hop Teams

EDE Lyrical & Hip-Hop Teams:
COSTUMES: Lyrical costumes have been ordered. The full price for you LYRICAL costume is $38. We need all Lyrical & Hip-Hop Team members to at least pay a $20 costume deposit by JANUARY 26th. The remaining amount ($18) will not be due until FEBRUARY 9th. For your Hip-Hop routine your costume will be your team t-shirt, black performance shorts (from you Juniors/Seniors costume), knee high socks & WHITE gym shoes! The knee high socks have been ordered and you will be notified of prices & payment dates later this month. PLEASE make sure you have WHITE (bleach white, no gray) gym shoes. These need to be laced shoes that you will be able to tie tight while performing. These shoes have to be ALL WHITE (no pink stripes, etc). If your shoes have even the smallest amount of color on them, it will show up while performing, especially next to other team members that have all white shoes. If you have a small pink strip or any spot of color you may cover it up with WHITE tape (if the tape will stay stuck to your shoe long enough to perform).
COMPETITION FEES: Those of you who have not paid the $40 for competition fees for your lyrical & hip-hop routines then you MUST pay this amount ON OR BEFORE January 12th. If you do NOT pay by this date then you will NOT compete these routines! No exceptions!

Costumes - Minis & Petites

Attention EDE MINIS & PETITES: Our costumes have either already arrived or will arrive in January. The full price for BOTH costumes is $59 total. If you have already paid your $40 costume deposit (which was due in November) then you only need to pay the remaining amount which is $19. Remaining amount is due on or before January 28th.

I have tried my best to find the best quality costumes for the best price! I feel that the costumes we have ordered are one of the best deals possible, because the average price for ONE performance costume is usually between $40 - $50.

Costumes will be handed out near the beginning of February. Costumes will not be handed out to each dancer unless paid in FULL & ALL other fees are paid up to date. Once you receive your costumes they are YOUR responsibility. Please do not loose or damage your costumes. We ask that you do not wear your costumes until competition/performances so that we do not risk the chance of damaging our costumes. We have had each dancer try on all of their costumes during class time to make sure they fit them correctly. Upon receiving your costumes PLEASE put your name on the tags so that your costumes will not get mixed up with others & if they get left behind at a performance or competition, we will know who it belongs to.
*Costume prices do not include dance shoes and performance tights.*

Costumes - Juniors & Seniors

Attention EDE JUNIORS & SENIORS: Our costumes have either already arrived or will arrive in January. The full price for BOTH costumes is $75 total. If you have already paid your $40 costume deposit (which was due in November) then you only need to pay the remaining amount which is $35. Remaining amount is due on or before January 28th.

I have tried my best to find the best quality costumes for the best price! I feel that the costumes we have ordered are one of the best deals possible, because the average price for ONE performance costume is usually between $40 - $50.

PLEASE NOTE: If you were on our team last year and already have the black dance shorts from last year’s costume, then you will only need to pay $26 more ($9 off) instead of the $35 listed above. If you already have the black performance shorts, then we did NOT order new shorts for you. If for any reason you have lost your black dance shorts or would like a new size please contact me ASAP or your shorts will not get here in time for competition.
