Whether your young dancer aspires to become a Highlandette or just wants to have a day of fun and meet some new friends, this is the week to register for the annual Dancing with the ‘Dettes event. This year’s dance clinic will be held Monday, February 20th in the LHHS gyms and dance studio (it’s a school holiday), giving your girl a chance to experience the life of a Lake Highlands drill team member on her own home turf.

The clinic is open to kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade, and they’ll need to wear comfortable clothes and dance or tennis shoes. Pizza and drinks will be provided for the all-day event (they’ll need their strength to dance from 9am to 3pm), and all participants receive a matching t-shirt. The final 30 minutes will be a Parent Show Off, allowing family and friends to see what the kids have learned.

Registration forms are available online here, and the price is $55 if you sign up by this Friday (you can register after Feb. 10 or at the door, but you’ll pay $65).

Best of all, dancers get to take the stage at the big 50th Anniversary Highlandette Revue April 20 & 21 in their own special number. Sell-out crowds are expected for the big show as ‘Dette alums gather from all over the country to reminisce and meet the current line, so this will be a special year. Break a leg!
