Mock Competition

PLEASE MARK THIS ON YOUR CALENDAR:

We will be having a Gym Practice/Mock Competition on FRIDAY MARCH 16 at the LDS 1^st & 3^rd Ward Church Gym. Dancers will need to arrive BY 4:00 pm. Please come with your hair & make-up done in competition style wearing your PRACTICE ATTIRE. Bring your costumes with you, as you will change into your costumes before the Mock Competition begins. The Mock Competition will start at 6:00 pm. Parents are welcome to watch this performance however please do not bring other relatives/friends as there is VERY limited seating. After the Mock Competition is completed we will quickly go over details and any questions about the Vernal competition.

Gym Practice/Mock Competition Details:

• If solos and duos would like to practice their routines they need to come BEFORE 4:00 pm (with their competition hair/make-up ALREADY done). For this Mock Competition the only solos/duos that will be performing are the solos/duos that are competing in Vernal. All other solos/duos will be able to perform at our next Mock Competition.

• Mock Competition: We will perform our routines in the order that they will be competing at the Vernal competition. Our Senior Company 1 is not able to attend the Vernal competition, however they will still be performing one of their routines at this Mock Competition. Lyrical & Hip-Hop Teams will not be competing in Vernal therefore they will not be performing in this Mock Competition. We will be having an additional Mock Competition in April for ALL routines.

Practice Makes Perfect:

• Showmanship: Dancers please practice your showmanship (smiles & facials) every time you practice your routines. Our team has won an Over-All Showmanship Award 3 out of 4 years we have been competing. Let's make this a team goal to win Over-All Showmanship EVERY year!

• Practice: Dancers need to practice their routines, stretches, facials, etc EVERY day. It is very important that each dancer has her routines memorized.

  • Parents are welcome to record their child's routines for practice purposes. Please schedule ahead of time so we will be ready when you arrive.

  • If you would like a copy of the music of your child's routines for practice purposes, please bring in a blank CD and we will be more than happy to put the music on it for you.

TEAM WARM-UPS:

Every team member is required to have the same team warm-ups. We realize some team members have out grown their warm-ups from a previous year; therefore we are starting a “Warm-Up List.” If you have out grown your warm-ups and would like to sell them to another team member, please come fill out your name, phone number, size of warm-ups, etc on the sheet. By entering your information on the “Warm-Up List,” you agree to have other team members/parents contact you about your warm-ups. If you are interested in purchasing used warm-ups, you may request a copy of the list to contact others about their warm-ups. All dancers who do not already have the team warm-ups (jacket and pant) by October 11, will need to pay their deposit toward new warm-ups. *Fund raiser credit can be used toward ONLY NEW warm-up costs.

If you have any questions, please contact Dana Wilkerson at (435) 724-5544 or email her at EliteDanceExtreme@gmail.com.
