Remember this weekend (July 29-31) is our Boot Camp! We hope you are all excited and ready to dance!

On Thursday, Varsity will begin at 9:00am with lunch provided at noon. Then the JV team will join us at 12:30pm. JV, please be on time and eat before you come. The camp will continue for both teams until 6:00pm. We will have a water break in the afternoon and everyone will receive a water bottle. If students are worried that they may be hungry in the afternoon and would like to bring a snack they may do so.

On Friday, both Teams will meet from 9:00am – 6:00pm.

On Saturday, we will have a Car Wash from 10:30am – 2:30pm.

Saturday Evening we will be having a Party at Brad and Michelle’s house from 6:00-11pm! A wonderful parent has donated dinner for the party at 6:00pm. We will need an RSVP for dinner on Saturday night. Please let us know Thursday if you are able to come to dinner.

Please come ready to learn with your best attention span and high energy levels! We will be doing a lot of dancing throughout the weekend!
