The 2011 Midwestern & Pacific Coast Sectional Championships are in Rochester, MN this year and that means only an hour and half drive from our office in Eden Prairie. The Phoenix Synchronized Skaters and their coaches, Jeannine Weinschrod and Helene Wolf, along with many parents drove in 2 large coach buses to pay us a visit before they took the ice this morning. We gave them a tour of the building and talked them through the process on how we made their skating dresses from start to finish- they were impressed! The little skaters were also very enamoured with Oscar and Jessie and almost took them away on the bus back to Rochester :)

Check out the University of Iowa Dance Team in their new costumes from The Line Up! They recently went to the Universal Dance Association National Championships in Orlando, FL where they placed 9th in jazz- the highest ever for the program! In the Pom category, they placed 7th which is also a huge accomplishment. Head coach, Jenny Eustice, is extremely proud of her team. "The costumes look beautiful out on the floor. We have received so many compliments!"

Check out the Superior High School Dance Team in action! Casey Carlson, coach of the SHSDT in Superior, Wisconsin, recently sent us some great shots captured of the girls. This year, the Spartans are mixing up their performance by competing in the pom category instead of jazz. The Line Up appreciates you sharing the photos with us Casey!

This past weekend, Kristina the MN Vikings Pro Bowl Cheerleader, had a "show off" party of her new tops and bottoms from The Line Up with former Vikings Pro Bowl Cheerleaders before she is off to Hawaii. Here she is with Head Coach Tami Krause's 6 month old daughter Doriana.

This 9 year old is quite the skater! Although we did not make her skating outfit, she certainly knows how to pull off the look!

Katie Bruck, coach of the Elk River High School Dance Team, recently shared some photos of thier competitive jazz and high kick costumes! The girls look great in their Scottish-themed high kick routine. A big THANK YOU to Cheryl for working so hard on the patterns for Elk River. Visit the ERDT website to view more photos.

The All Starz Dance Team took 1st place at the Northern Lights Conference High Kick Meet in Pequot Lakes, MN in December. Their Prince-themed costumes look amazing on the floor! The Aitkin Age Newspaper captured a great action shot of the girls from the conference meet. To learn more about the All Starz Varsity and JV teams, visit their website by clicking here.

Thank you to Erica Abke, coach of the Shoreline Blaze Synchronized Skating Team, for sending videos of their teams in recent competitions. The Beginner 2 team took 1st place at the Dr. Porter Synchro Classic on December 4th. Great job girls!

Sunday night, December 19th, was the Vikings 50th Anniversary Celebration. It was a special evening, honoring 50 of the greatest players.
