Flatirons Year at a Glance:
In this year at a Glance, you will see our first shot of entirely scheduling out the year! If things change or we have to update the calendar, we will let you know and update this Google Sheet.
We recommend you look at the online version so any changes we make are the current version! You will see many events for the competition team; all of the events are mandatory competition team events, with the exception of the Sheer Competition, which is a solo/duet optional competition that you may sign up for later. Please lock these dates in.
We do not get the full schedule for competition and convention weekends until seven days before the event. Make sure to keep your whole weekend open for those weekends since we do not have a say in when your dancer will be competing! All of these events will also be updated on the Google Calendar.
For competition weekends, it is not a requirement that you stay at the hotel. However, we do require that all dancers arrive two hours before their scheduled performance time. We have been two hours ahead of schedule in the past years, and we will communicate this to you on BAND. Your dancer may likely perform early in the morning or late at night for full events, so please plan as needed. Please also ensure you are on our BAND page for all day-of-event communication. Dancers may join these pages, too, to stay up to date!

Competition Team Expectations:
Your dancer must attend every rehearsal, they have three absences allowed and any absences over the 3 will result in a $50 fine.
Please have your dancer arrive 10/15 minutes early to warm up appropriately and prepare for class. We have a lot to do in a short amount of time!
Being a Competition Team Dancer:
Throughout your weekly classes, we are confident your training will be exceptional. This progress we are about to see (and have seen this summer) makes us SO excited! Being a competition team dancer means holding yourself professionally not only in rehearsal but also in class. You are going to be the role model for all of your classes! Because of this, we expect you always to come prepared and on time, focus, and go full out. This is your training, and while we are here to help you every step of the way, we also know that it takes giving 100% to every class for this training to succeed. And oh boy, if anyone can do it, it is you all.
We are so proud, excited, and ready for this upcoming season.
Time to get fired up, let's go, competition team!!!
Talk soon, everyone!
