One of the competition shoe selections that was initially TBD for BRAVO has been added on the Shoe Buying Guide (new listing is highlighted in orange).

The Competition Tights list has also been updated for multiple groups.

Please click here to access the Shoes and Tights Buying Guide web page to access both of these updates.

REMINDER:  Please make sure that you select the correct dance group for your dancer, and make sure you are choosing the correct color to purchase.

ALL dancer’s shoes and tights for this competition season should be in hand no later than Monday, January 17, 2022.

ANOTHER REMINDER: Showcase Tickets will go on pre-sale via our online ticketing website to Vibe members tomorrow, Wednesday, January 12 at/around 9am.  Please be on the lookout for an email from the Vibe GMAIL account (not a web post) with Ticket Sales information.

A couple of updates on Make-up and Earrings:

1. The “Items Needed for Competition” document has been posted to the Member Information section of the website.  Please make sure you review this document ASAP.    You will see the “**NEW**” indicator beside this document. 
2. It is time to order your dancer’s competition earrings and competition make-up.    Click here to access the Competition Make-up & Earrings Order Form. We need all orders placed by Friday, January 14, 2022 end of day.  IMPORTANT NOTE as of 1/8/2022:  YOFI, the makers of the competition make-up we use, is having inventory issues and is not getting back to Cheryl on what quantities they have in stock. Below are the guidelines on whether you need to place an order for an item: 
   • Returning members, please take an honest assessment of your dancer’s YOFI make-up from last year…if it’s usable, then you are fine. If you must have a replacement of one or more of the makeup items, please place an order on the order form by the deadline.  We are hoping to get more inventory information from the company soon. 
   • New Members in Vibe…Cheryl has enough Yofi make-up items (blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick) from the prior year for you. You will get the make-up items at Hair and Make-up Day.  New members with a sister in Vibe, we ask that you share make-up items with your sister until we can get inventory in from Yofi.
   • Earrings are also included in the Order Form. Please place an order by the deadline if you need another pair or 2.   Members should have 2 pairs of earrings for competition (one to wear and one as a backup).     
3. For new members, we know this list may look ‘large’, so feel free to reach out to your group mom should you have questions regarding any items on the list.

The Competition Tights List has been updated on the Shoe & Tights Buying Guide webpage.  EACH GROUP should review the spreadsheet to see what type and color of tights your dancer needs. Other costume/tights selections are still being finalized for some groups since costumes are still being delivered. We will add other tights selections to the list as soon as they are known.   We will send out another blog post when we have updates.

Please click here to access the Shoe & Tight Buying Guide web page.   You will see the Tights Buying Guide listed at the bottom of the web page.  Please purchase these ASAP, so you have them in hand for dress rehearsals.

REMINDER:  Please make sure that you check the correct dance group for your dancer, and also make sure you are choosing the correct color of tights to purchase.
