Russell Dancing Queens

Good morning! I had a talk with the girls yesterday. After days of mulling our situation over I've decided that we will not be competing this year. I didn't come to this decision lightly, I assure you. I really wanted to take this great group of dancers to Westerville. However, for the past two months I haven't been able to make progress with them. Every week we have to work on changing routines for performances due to absences therefore we cannot get our dances finished, cleaned and competition ready. We now only have four practices left before competition and will not have everyone at those practices. I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall and that there is not a perfect solution. So, instead of stressing the girls and myself out this holiday season, I've decided we will enjoy our time together working on the dances we already have and finishing out the basketball season. I truly am upset for those girls who have been committed and working hard every week not missing practices but know that it hasn't gone unnoticed. I love these girls very much and look forward to the rest of the dance season. If you have already paid for your jazz costume, I will send the money home on Tuesday December 18th after practice. Thank you for all you have done and allowing me to work with your beautiful girls. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
