Good Luck to our long-time friends at Dance Arts Centre in Chanhassen, Minnesota who is kicking off their competition season this weekend! The Line Up began designing costumes in October 2011 for the upcoming season, so we couldn’t be more excited to finally see all the costumes on stage. Thanks to Jane Foster for another great season working together – The Line Up is grateful to have been supplying costumes to Dance Arts Centre for over 15 years!

Platinum Dance Center was brand new to The Line Up this year and was very successful in creating their new costumes! For most of their designs, they used online styles and picked out their own unique fabrics to incorporate into the costumes. These dancers look great! We had a lot of fun working with owners Erica and Lexi this year and look forward to future projects!

DanceWorks Performing Arts Center had very themed routines this year for their high kick teams, and had some great ideas on how to incorporate those themes into their costuming! For their Extreme Team they had a Beatles theme and selected Sgt Pepper style tops in multiple colors. For their Dream Team they had a Ninja theme and selected a faux wrap top. They look so great!

Thanks to coach Stacey Walters with the Minnesota State University Mankato Dance Team for sharing great pictures of her girls at the NCA-NDA Nationals. The team traveled to Daytona Beach, FL to compete in Division II and took home 1st Place! It was the first national title the MSUM Dance Team has had since 1999. There are only three graduating seniors, so it looks like the MSUM Dance Team will have a very bright future. Congratulations!

The Mandan High School Kachinas Dance Team from Mandan, North Dakota created their first custom costume through The Line Up this season and they look fabulous! Thank you to Lacey Long for working on these with us this year. They received them for their home Invitational and wore them throughout the rest of the season!

We love working with the Tennessee Titans and head coach Stacie Kinder! They created a couple of new items this year - most notably new signature shorts and a custom winter uniform!

The Hutchinson High School Dance Team looks sharp in their newly designed kick tops. They created a custom design playing with many different flashy fabrics in gold, silver and black. Their coach Stephanie has been great to work with and we're so happy the tops are looking good for the routine! Thanks for sharing your photo with us!

The girls from Little Chute High School in Wisconsin look fantastic in their new custom pom uniforms! Thanks to Beth DeBruin and Maggie Farley for sending this great photo.

The Colorado Eagles Chicks perform at every Colorado Eagles home game and are very involved in the community. Erica, their manager, has been great to work with! The girls look wonderful in their new Kristen Biketards customized in their colors. Individual pictures of the Eagles Chicks in their uniforms can be found at their website.

We are busy making new rehearsal apparel for the 2012 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders! We will post pictures of them very soon.
