State Fair audition!
Saturday, July 28 at 11:30 AM is the time slot we have been assigned. And yes, we are dancing Magic Carpet Ride.
Here is the tentative schedule for those of you who are involved:
Saturday, July 14 - practice and shopping for costumes.
Saturday, July 21 - final practice.
We'll have to see what time we can get the studio and go from there. I'm flexible so if these dates don't work for you, please let me know ASAP. (If you are going to compete, you must attend both practices.)
Thanks all! :)

WRC this week....
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
This Tuesday we will be working on Turbo Polka, C'est la Vie, Mission Temple Firework Stand, and Big World. If there's time we'll review the songs we worked on last week too.
Thursday we'll finish I Play Chicken with a Train and review Country Roads, MCR, and Hit Me.
For the state fair comp - I signed us up with three choices for an audition and I'll let you know what they give us as soon as I know. Hopefully we'll get our first choice as that is the only day that everyone is available....
On a different note, I'm stuck in the choreography of Cheetah Girls' Strut. Whoever gives me a cool new step first wins a prize! :)
WRC moment of the week:
Sean coming back to practice and gobbling on the turkeys like only he can. Haha! :)
TTFN!

Pat Peare recital!
We were asked last night if we'd like to dance in the recital this year. Yay!
I would like to do MCR and Cry of the Celts, and we will dance both Friday and Saturday nights, June 15 and 16 (Fathers' Day weekend). If you would like to dance in the recital, you must hit the comment button below and sign up. (Remember, this is the summer of empowerment!) :)
Miss Pat and Miss Tammy also asked us to dance with them again in their 4th of July show. Please let me know if you're available for this too. Thanks!

WRC this week....
Hi all!
Monday night is graduation for the beginners' class at Sky Oaks Elementary starting at 7 PM. Please come if you're available.
Tuesday night we will continue reviewing: Car Wash, All Shook Up, Time for me to Fly, Big World, Turbo Polka, Banjo Boy, Cry of the Celts, Bop to the Top, and C'est a Vie.
Thursday night we'll start/review Country Roads, I Play Chicken With a Train, and any of the above dances that need work.
Please remember that you need to sign up for competition this year. If you don't sign up, you might not be able to dance since we pay per person....
And finally....I've decided to select a memorable WRC moment each week. Last week we had Kenzie dancing an entire show in two right shoes. This week we had Laura going through the Wendy's drive through with me and her sisters -- trying to order a McChicken sandwich. :) Ah good times....

Last call for competition!
I need to register us this week for the State Fair comp. Since we did Hit Me last year, let's do Magic Carpet Ride this year!
I need to know if:
- you want to compete and
- what dates work for you to audition.
Please choose from July 16-19 and July 23-29. We get to request a first, second, and third choice. (All times would be after 5 PM.)
The number of people that audition determines the entry fee, so you need to let me know ASAP if you're interested. Right now only two people are signed up so if you want to be added to the list you need to let me know!
Thanks! :)

WRC this week.
Monday is the second to the last beginner class of the season. If anyone on the performance team can come to their "graduation" next week that would be awesome!
Tuesday is our Ebenezer show at 3:30. Please wear our typical "nursing home" outfit. (Black pants or capris and either WRC shirt.) Practice tonight as usual.
Thursday there is NO PRACTICE due to the GSCA demo. If you want to ride with me to the demo, please let me know this ASAP. (And see the post below for more info.)
Great job this weekend with our shows!!!! And mad props to Kenzie for dancing Saturday with two right shoes! :D

Next Thursday!
In all my shouty-ness lat night I totally forgot to remind you of the demo next Thursday! Instead of class, we have the Gopher State demo up in Maple Grove. We can meet at the studio at 5:15-ish and go from there. Please wear black pants and plain, brightly-colored t-shirt. You can get the shirts at Michael's or Wal-Mart for like $3. Pleeeeease don't wear a little top that has a different colored cami under it -- just go buy a t-shirt! :)
As always, lemme know if you have questions! And if I hadn't already mentioned it like a dozen times, both dances we practiced last nigth were AWESOME! I'm so proud to be your teacher!!!! We're definitely gonna rock their world tonight! :D

Welcome to the new and improved WRC website!
Hello WRC!
Isn't this exciting?! Our website has a new look and now I can keep you up to date on things without sending out five e-mails each week. Yay! :)
Please check out the calendar for upcoming events and I will keep this blog up to date with the latest additions and changes. I will also announce what dances we'll be working on in class and post what costumes you should wear for which show!
Once last thing: if any of you want to post something in the blog for the team to see, just send it to me and I'll put it up! It can be an announcement, a "why I love clogging" poem, or anything at all!
And finally, to Amanda -- THANK YOU SO MUCH for spending the time updating the site! It looks so awesome and I'm so excited about it!!!! :) YAY YOU!!!!
TTFN!
