Director/Head Coach: Monica Fredrickson

Location: Lakeville, MN

Dance Style: High Kick

Check out some awesome photography by MN Prep Photo from the recent Minnesota State High School League's 2017 State Dance Team Tournament!  

A few trends we spotted?  Plenty of sequin lace, jewel tones, and romantic looks still rule for jazz costumes.  

For kick, leggings are still the favorite to emphasize lines!  But we loved spotting a few costumes that pushed genres like St Charles' football kick routine with a hip hop edge, and Chaska's Odyssey themed high kick costume with a jazz feel.  

Here are a few of the teams we were proud to have outfitted with their #LineUpLook:

University of Michigan Synchronized Skating team took the Collegiate National title!

The synchronized skating season came to an exciting conclusion this past weekend with the 2017 US Synchronized Skating Nationals in Rockford, Illinois!  Teams competed for the national titles and a chance to go to Worlds!  What's next?  The Haydenettes and Crystalettes will be headed to ISU's Synchro Worlds in Colorado Springs this April, representing Team USA!  Congratulations, ladies!

Check out these fun highlight reels from US Figure Skating, plus a few customer photos from around the web!

Check out a few photos from around the web at this past weekend's NBA All Star game in New Orleans!!  

Did you know each basketball team also sends one NBA dancer to the All Star game in addition to the players?  It's quite an honor for these talented ladies to be chosen, so we sent a special outfit to the dancers to celebrate! 

We had fun watching everyone represent their teams this past weekend!  Congrats ladies!

It was a whirlwind weekend two weeks ago for Synchronized Skating Teams!  Skaters competed at the Midwestern,  Pacific Coast, and Eastern Synchronized Skating Championships in hopes for a competition spot at Nationals!  

These events are some of our favorites for watching synchronized skating dress trends!  From thematic to traditional, skate teams always know how to put a feminine twist on any costume!

The NDADD State Competition and NDTC Nationals brought competition season to an exciting conclusion for our high school dance team friends in North Dakota this month!

The state has a small yet vibrant dance community that KNOWS how to do custom high hick unitards.  We've also noticed that these ladies aren't afraid of the velvet, which is perfect because we predict velvet is making its way back into dance fashion!

Competition season officially came to an end last weekend for our Wisconsin high school dance team friends, at the the 2017 WACPC State Dance Championships!  If we can say anything definitive about these lovely teams, it's that they KNOW how to do custom costumes! Brightly colored Pom uniforms, edgy High Kick costumes, flowy Jazz costumes, and innovative Hip Hop looks - there's a wide variety in Wisconsin!

Check out this awesome end-of-year coaching tips checklist from our guest writer Tami Krause, Head Coach and Director of the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders!  

Can you believe it!  You are done.  Weren’t tryouts just yesterday?  Another season has come and gone.  As I sat watching the Super Bowl on Sunday I was reminded of all the things that happen once the “big game” is over.  It really is just the beginning of another “season” – the post season.  It is a time that is very important to the success of your upcoming season. I have put together a checklist of items to help you wrap up the end of your dance team season.  Congratulations on another great year!

It was a whirlwind couple of days for high school teams this past weekend at NDTC Nationals!  If you're a dance fan like ourselves, odds are you skipped the Super Bowl and were live streaming UDA Nationals instead!  

With so many teams coming together at the largest national competition for dance, it's always fun to see the wide range of costume styles!  Here were a few of our favorite dance costume trends from the competition!  While we can't take credit for creating many of these costumes, we were lucky enough to work with quite a few teams!!
