Small Group Teams

Please do not forget that when you decided to try out for small group teams at Legacy, you committed to working hard and being dedicated to dance. I think I have been very very fair in allowing many absences that are not school related, but when less than half the team shows up for a small group rehearsal I feel that I am required to put rules in place. It is crunch time for us right now. If it snows out one or more rehearsals in January or February, there will be no way that we will be ready for NexStar regionals the first weekend in March much less the one we are thinking of doing in February. Also, there were only 2(two) students that attended Lindsey's Wednesday 8:30 pm ballet class this past week. Some of you are not attending any ballet classes and that will no longer be tolerated to continue to be on the Legacy Small Group Teams. It's going to be tough competing locally much less at the nationals that we are planning on attending if you are not going to commit to one or two ballet classes a week. I know it is a tough time of year at school but let's try to work hard and show up for all the rehearsals that we have planned so that we can move on to our line dance.

You will be allowed 2 excused absences between now and February. No unexcused absences unless they have already been pre-arranged will be allowed. If you need a ride to the holiday practices, ask a friend for a ride. Not having a ride will be unexcused.

If you plan on participating in the Phantoms/B52 line dance, same rule will apply. We will have to choreograph this one quickly and it's hard to choreograph when people are missing.

Also, you are forgetting that your hair must be pulled back from your face. Do not wear your hair down to class. Make sure you are following attire rules as well. No baggy clothes at all please.

I hope you all understand my concerns.
