My Project

The beginning of the year is always an exciting time, but it also comes with many needs. To ensure our dancers start strong, we are requesting basic supplies such as:

Paper, pencils, pens, index cards, and a stapler will help with choreography notes, scheduling, and team communications.

Cleaning supplies like wipes maintain a fresh and safe practice space.

Hair ties and magnets are for last-minute hair fixes and to secure items in our rehearsal area.

These seemingly small items play a huge role in keeping our team organized, prepared, and focused. Whether it's jotting down corrections, reviewing formations, or ensuring our space stays clean, these supplies will directly support our daily routines.
