PreTeen Meeting and Info for BYU/Nationals March 14th, 2014

Pre Teen Parents Meeting 6:45, Monday March 10, 2014

Enlight Pre-Teen Nationals Itinerary

Friday March 14^th

·       All students need to arrive at the BYU Marriott Center Sports Arena (500 East University Pkwy) at 10:00am. Please meet Adam promptly at 10am in front of portal A up top in the concessions area.  If you can’t find him please call his cell at 435-757-4049. It takes about 2 hours to get to Provo from Logan and there will be rush hour traffic so plan accordingly and leave Logan no later than 8am.

·       All students and any other spectators attending the competition will need to purchase a ticket for admittance to the event.  Tickets can be purchased at the Marriot Center ticket office which is by the Marriot Center parking lot where you will be parking anyway.  General admission tickets are $12 for all ages including the students competing.

·       Please pay close attention to the following information: The first event the students will dance is the Elementary School Syllabus American (F/CC) at 11:26am.  After this event, you may take your student for a quick lunch break or just eat the concessions there at the Marriot Center.  Then we will all meet again at Portal A just as before at 3:00pm.  At this time students will dance in the Junior High Syllabus newcomer swing event at 4:18.  After this event, the students will stay together as a team and get ready for their team formation dance.  They will dance the first round of Pre-Teen Latin Formation at 6:07 and then depending on which division they make, they will dancing again within the next hour.  After the team has dance both rounds and all the costumes have been cleaned up and accounted for, students can leave the competition or stay and watch the older Enlight teams. 

·       Costumes/syllabus items to bring: It is very important that students where the exact clothing specified for syllabus or they will be disqualified from their events.  We will have the new costumes for the team formation event there with us.  Students should come to the competition wearing their syllabus clothes and have dance shoes ready to put on.  

o   Girls: black latin skirts with black trunks under, tan dance tights not fishnets, dance shoes, plain white shirt or leotard (must have at least cap sleeve, must be completely plain, literally nothing on it), no jewelry or hair accessories.  Girls also need to come with hair slicked perfectly into a high pony tail and curled in ringlets and with blush and red lipstick.

o   Boys: black latin pants, black dress socks, dance shoes, plain white long sleeve dress shirt (can’t roll up sleeves), plain black tie or bow tie.

***We know this is going to be an amazing experience for the students to be surrounded by so many kids their age doing ballroom and competing as individuals and as a team.  But we need your help parents to make sure this runs as smoothly as possible by having your students arrive in the correct places at the times we have given.  Thank you for your support and we wish the best of luck to all the Enlight teams competing this next week.
