The girls all appear to need a mental health day, so there will be no team practice on October 2, 2020. We will still have open gym from 8:30-10pm on Friday and 6:30-8:30pm on Saturday.

If you need help sizing, ask Amy. Please submit orders promptly. Can print out the order form or there will be some at the front desk. Get your boo on!

If you missed today’s routine clinic and don’t know the routines, you must schedule a private lesson with Amy ($50) 414-303-5195 (text) or one of the other coaches in the next week because we will begin doing the full routines during practice. We will not be “teaching” the routine during practice just working on perfecting it. Be sure to pick up a handout with the words at practice.
