Showcase Routines: Now that we are getting closer to our June 19th and 20th Showcase, held at the South Milwaukee High School PAC, each class will be working on their new dance starting in mid-February. They will still be working on technique, across-the-floor combinations, jumps, and turns. If your child is not participating in our Show, they will still learn the dance, and will be strategically placed in formations so we do not have any gaps at the performance.

Please remember it is very hard for us to get siblings to perform together because we have 6 different Showcase times. We run an enrollment report from families that register prior to June 15th and TRY to prioritize in the order that you register.
