We're still unpacking the boxes, hanging the pictures, and creating the displays, but here is a sneak peek into our new office space.

DanceXchange studio in Edina, Minnesota sent us some great pictures from a competition this past weekend! They designed quite a few fun costumes for the 2013 season! For their production number, they had a tribal theme and selected three online styles but used the same fabrics and custom changes to coordinate all together. They selected the Suki, Shadow, and Leandra Solid, and also ordered some custom boy's tops. They also had a smaller group that did a Circus routine, and selected our online Ringmaster jacket and 580 shorts with custom fabric and changes. They had two solos as well. The first was the online Hadley, and the second was one of our new tryout tops and 580 shorts and they added their own bustle onto the back of the shorts.

Ramapo College Dance Team recently competed at the NCA/NDA Collegiate Cheer & Dance Championship in Daytona Beach, Florida and are National Champions in Division III for the second year in a row! Similar to Sacred Heart, they also had a Newsies theme. Since they were in separate divisions, we knew this wouldn't be an issue but when teams compete against each other and want similar costumes, we do try to confidentially steer teams in different directions. Ramapo went with a one piece unitard with layered mesh and hologram fabrics. They also added suspenders and a newsboy hat to keep with the theme! We are honored to have created their championship costume again!

We are so excited for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut for placing 3^rd in Division 1 Dance at NDA Nationals! Coach Deirdre Hennessey sent some great photos of the girls in their “Newsies” themed costumes. We love working with SHU and are very proud of their achievements!

Cherry Hill West High School from New Jersey was new to The Line Up this year and created two custom garments. The first was a Jazz Geisha costume. We special ordered a pretty printed fabric and added a large sash for a kimono inspired look. This was paired with our high school fit shorts for an incredible costume! Their second costume was a Super Hero Hip Hop biketard. We love the arm and leg gauntlets to really achieve a Super Hero effect. The team added their own belt buckle logos to complete the superhero look. The girls are headed to the USASF Dance World Championships in Florida soon and we wish them the best of luck! We also want to send a special thank you to coach Shelby Smith for being so great to work with!

Christopher Newport University Dance Team recently competed at NDA Nationals and placed in the top 5, which is a first for their team! Coach Amy Tully said their costumes, based on the online style Devlyn, looked phenomenal on stage. We are so excited about their amazing season and cannot wait to work with Amy again!

Salisbury University Poms Dance Team sent us this great picture of them with equipment from all the sporting events they perform at! The girls are wearing the Carolina Dress with lettering in their school colors. They look so beautiful and we love working with President of the group, Halsey Hayes. Thank you for sharing the picture!

We received some great photos from the New York Lizards recent photo shoot! The team just debuted their new uniforms based off an online top and skirt, but with custom rhinestoning, logos, and modifications. They also were on a SportsNY talk show, The Wheel House, last week with some of the NY Lizards Players! We cannot wait to see these women in action!

West Bend West High School in Wisconsin created a gorgeous custom pom dress for this past season. Their dress involved different shades of blue and white and a faux cami look on one side. Coach Kelly Delie says the girls love them and she does as well! We are excited to see what they do this year!

Vernon Hills High School in Illinois sent us some gorgeous pictures in their new costumes! They selected our online Blake and biketard and customized the Blake to make it their own. We love how they added rhinestones for extra bling to the tops! Coach Beth said they placed 4th in the 2A division (the 2A division has 90 teams!) at Illinois High School Association's inaugural competition in January. Congrats ladies!
