Break Dance Battle:  They will compete at Frank Hurt Secondary on April 11th and the top two teams will battle again at Outbreak for 1st and 2nd places on April 30th.  Third place will be decided at Small Team event.

General Rules of the Competition:
All dancers must be from the same school (except for break groups at the end).  
Breakers must have 6 members per group.
Junior dancers may dance with seniors, but senior dancers cannot dance with juniors.
Schools may NOT enter more than 2 groups in a division.

All music must be edited for profanities or deductions will be severe.
NEW THIS YEAR:  music must be brought on a flash drive to the computer tech (Will) right after your registration.  Once your music is loaded, your spare CD (with school name and division) will act as back-up. If you have more than one entry, all songs can be on one CD in order of the program.

Costumes must be audience-appropriate or marks will be deducted.  This is a family show so moves should be respectful of the audience.  Judges will deduct for bad taste.

Awards will be presented at the end of the evening. All small teams will receive medals from 1st to 3rd. If categories are large we will give out ribbons until 6th place.

NO morning practices for awhile . . .

Attention all teams (except lyrical/jazz team)

No morning practices untill closer to Outbreak in April.  After school practices will continue to clean and polish dances.  Juniors please note the following change . . .

Junior 9/10 team and Junior 8/9 will now practice on the same day!  Wednesdays after school (3-4:30pm)

That means . . . the studio will be open Tuesdays after school!!!  Can be signed out for small groups, duos and trios!!!  See me for sign up sheet.

The dance room will continue to be open at lunch for practice . . . see me for March sign up sheet!

(Remember Outbreak Small Team Competition is April 11th, and Outbreak is April 30th.)  Last major competition of the year!
