Senior Contest!

We have amazing compeition teams this year. All of the girls get along so well and are such great friends even outside of dance! Which it shows in dance class as well because all they want to do is talk! Especially our seniors So we had to come up with some type of motivator. What could you do to motivate 16 year old girls? Well freeze dance works 3 and 4 year olds, candy works for anyone under the age of 10...and we had to make it worth it all year long. So we reached a conclusion: All 16 year old girls LOVE clothes! Why not give a gift card to the mall?!

Here's how it works: Whichever girl has the most points by our first competition wins. How do you get points you ask? Well it's pretty simple really...

1. Come to class. The girls have decided that you are only allowed 2 excused absences. Each time you come to class you get 10 points. If you miss even if they are your excused absences you still won't get the points.

2. Wear the right dance attire. You have to wear black, with your hair back and bangs out of your face. The girls decided that at the last practice of each month you get to wear whatever you want! If they come with their right dance attire they get another 10 points.

3. Be to class on time. If they come on time they get another 10 points.

4. Daily Sit Ups. As a team, the girls decided they wanted stronger abs (which make stronger dancers). They have already made a team pact to eat healthy but they are taking it further. Everday they have to do about 15-20 minutes of straight ab crunches and sit ups. If they do this everyday they get 50 points a week.

5. Extra. If we have any extra practices, dress rehearsals, activities...anything, they can earn extra points!

We are very excited about this and so are the girls! The winner will be announced in March! Good luck girls!
