Preliminary Schedule for Platinum Dance Nationals 2024 is available! Click here to view the schedule. 

Platinum Talent Nationals 2024 is going to be an amazing opportunity for our dancers!  It will be an opportunity for ALL of us to see our dancers shine, have a lot of fun, make some memories, and enjoy our dance family! Our girls have worked all year for this.  Let’s bring our FootNotes SPIRIT and loud CHEER voice as we support our dancers and all teams as much as possible throughout the week!

A Grand Championship will take place on Friday evening. We are HOPEFUL that 1 or more of our dances will be selected to compete.  These selections will be determined during Competition Week by the judges. Cheryl will be notified throughout the competition if a dance is selected.  We will make you aware as soon as we know.

We have 2024 NATIONALS t-shirt & tank options to offer to dancers, moms, and dads! We will offer one t-shirt and two tank options with our custom Nationals logo shown below (thank you, Lindsey Shuman, for the awesome artwork!).  We are taking PRE-ORDERS ONLY for all options. If you would like to purchase, please Click here for the link to the order form.    

Order deadline is 12:00pm TODAY, Friday, May 24 to pre-order. 

*NOTE: Please ENTER A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH PERSON you wish to purchase a shirt for (so that we can keep sizing straight). 

Please note that all sales are final.  Be sure that you double check your sizes and quantities before submitting your order form. Once your order form is submitted, you will receive a confirmation email from Google Forms. If you do not receive this email, your order has not been accounted for.  The total cost of your order will be charged by FootNotes to your credit card on file.

Distribution info will be announced as soon as we know when the items will be available for pick-up at the studio.

Crave Cookies is hosting a Vibe Spirit Night (actually, all day!) event for us on Tuesday, June 4 from 10:30am – 9:00pm!   Show your Vibe spirit…grab your dance friends and/or your family and head over for a cookie date!

Below are Recital details for Vibe dancers, so please read the entire post!   Our 2024 23rd Annual Recital Showcase is Sunday June 2 with shows at 2pm and 6pm at the Gas South Theater in Duluth. Dress Rehearsals will be on Saturday, June 1 at 2pm and 6pm.

Click here for Recital Show Order.

For 2pm Show:

• BRAVO & OVATION dancers arrive at 1:15pm for setup of Dream Duffel, etc. for dances in the 2pm show.
• Elite dancer volunteers signed up to help with dressing rooms should arrive at 1:00pm.
• PREMIER, PRODIGY & ELITE dancers (for Proud Mary, Let’s Work & The Business) arrive at 2:30pm. Dancers should be in costume/stage ready, stretched and ready to dance.
• Please note that your dancer may stay at the venue in between shows IF she has adult supervision (if your group wants to bring in food/eat together at the venue).  Dancers need to be show ready by 5:15pm sharp each day for the 6pm show.
• ALL dancers will be released to the check-in/out area in the main lobby of the theater following the 2pm show. (Note: check in area will be down the hallway all the way to the right when you walk through the main doors of the Gas South Theater entrance. This is a different location from past few years)

For 6pm Show:

• ELITE, PREMIER & PRODIGY dancers arrive at 5:15pm for setup of Dream Duffel, etc. for dances in the 6pm show.
• Elite dancer volunteers signed up to help with dressing rooms should arrive at 5:00pm.
• OVATION dancers (for The Business) meet at Check-in area at 7:00pm. Your 6pm show backstage mom (Kim) will meet dancers at the check-in area and escort them backstage. Immediately following the 6pm show finale, she will bring them back to check-in area to be released. Dancers should be in costume/stage ready, stretched and ready to dance. (Do not bring Dream Duffel or backpack with you as backstage space is tight.)
• As a reminder, parents of those dancers that are only dancing in The Business routine in the 6pm show will not be able to sit in the audience for the performance.   

IMPORTANT NOTES TO REVIEW:

• BACKSTAGE MOMS:  If you wish to be backstage during one or both shows, click here to signup to be a Backstage Helper on the FootNotes Signup Genius.  Only moms listed on the FootNotes Signup Genius will be allowed to be backstage.
• HAIRSTYLE: Dancers should wear the competition hairstyle (middle part, low pony) for all competition routines.  Note that all ballet pieces must have a low bun. Dancers will need to transition their hair from bun to low pony or low pony into a bun depending on where their ballet routine falls within the show order for both Dress Rehearsal on Saturday and Recital on Sunday.   The bun must be a neat, tight bun. Hairnets are encouraged and helpful for quick, neat buns.   Once the ballet piece is complete, dancers will transition their hair back to the low pony.  Ovation & Prodigy can keep hair in bun for Contemporary if it helps with timing between ballet routines. For the younger dancers, the backstage moms will handle this task for the dancers.  For the older dancers, the backstage moms will ‘check’ the dancer’s bun to ensure it is neat and secure.
  • REMINDER: ALL dancers must bring your hair supplies…a comb, hairnet, hairspray, and bobby pins to create the bun.  A flat iron and brush may be needed to get your dancer’s pony straightened after the bun is taken down.
• MAKE-UP:  Dancers DO NOT need to wear makeup for Dress Rehearsal on Saturday. For Recital on Sunday, dancers must wear full competition makeup including lashes and our competition lipstick color.  There is no need to change the color of lipstick for ballet.

Dancer Shout Outs are also available for pre-sale via the Square link!! The Shout Out will contain your message to your dancer printed on cardstock with a lollipop attached. Shout Outs will be available for purchase on day of shows as well. Click here to pre-order your dancer Shout Outs!

Lastly…Click here to access the VIBE Volunteer Signup Genius for Recital volunteer opportunities for both parents & dancers including recital/trophy distribution, shout out sales, decorations and clean up (please note several of these roles are for DANCER volunteers) We have a few volunteer jobs that still need to be filled for Recital. Please consider helping out with these remaining tasks.

Our 2024 23rd Annual Recital Showcase is Sunday, June 2 with shows at 2pm and 6pm at the Gas South Theater in Duluth. Dress Rehearsals will be on Saturday, June 1 at 2pm and 6pm.  

To ensure a successful weekend, we are calling on ALL VIBE PARENTS as well as Elite dancers to sign up for Vibe sponsored volunteer positions available throughout the weekend. Positions include decorations, trophy/flower distribution, candy bouquet and shout out sales etc.

Country Club of Roswell

2500 Club Springs Drive

Roswell, GA 30076

It will be a fun evening of dinner and celebrating an incredible year for our amazing dancers and our beloved Seniors!  Because we had such a successful Showcase event this year, the Vibe will pay for both the dancer and one dancer’s guest meals.

Dancers are asked to wear a sundress and dancer’s guest should dress “country club casual.”

A BIG thank you to our EOY Celebration Chair, Deanna Brown, for planning the event!
