What to Expect

A step-by-step guide for the BIG DAY!

1. Double check your child’s confirmation note for check-in time
2. Arrive 15-20 min before check-in time
3. Check-in time is warm up time. Athletes will compete 15-30 mins after warm-up time.
4. Athletes will be called by groups (ex. 3 yr old sub beg) for stretching. Please walk your child over to the stretching floor and give them a big ol’ good luck kiss! The next time you see them they will be dazzling you on the competition floor!
5. After stretching, athletes will run through their pass or routine until it is time to “compete.”
6. Athletes will be called to the competition floor by groups. Their group will be announced and they will begin.
7. After “competing”, athletes will be ushered back to their parents to await the awards ceremony!
8. For the awards ceremony, athletes are asked to sit in the designated “athlete stands.”
9. Once awards have been presented, the group of athletes will pose for group pictures. Don’t worry, we will have a special area set up for FREE individual pictures too !

What Will Be Different This Year

After last year’s event, surveys were passed out to all willing participants. We gathered information on what you liked and what you didn’t like. We have re-shaped this year’s events based on those survey results. Here are some of the changes you will see!

• Less activity in the “high traffic areas”
• Better signage for stretching, warm-up, competition and seating area.
• Restructuring of our competition schedule
• Huge Sale on Leotards (and more!) two weeks prior to the Winter Showcase! Check out the ProShop for more details!

Flying High appreciates those who took the time to fill out our survey. By doing so they are helping us ensure that we are hosting the best event possible!

FAQ's

When Does My Child “compete”?
Your child will receive a tentative schedule four weeks prior to the event. After all registrants have been added, a confirmation note with your child’s compete time will be handed out in class. (if you have any conflicts with the time, please see our front desk! They will be more than happy to help you!)

Is my child too young to participate?
Absolutely not! If they are enrolled in a class here, they’ve got what it takes!

 

Can I bring a cheering section?
Please do! We run this event so our students can “show off” what they’ve learned! We bring in tons of extra seating! The more the merrier! Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, neighbors, friends, teachers...we’ve had them all!

What is the cost?
$30 per star (includes 2 free admission tickets).

When will my child learn his/her routine? Your child will begin to learn his/her routine shortly after our Holiday break.

 My child cannot make the event. Will he/she still learn a routine?
Yes! Even if your child cannot participate in this year’s Winter Showcase, routines are great to learn! It will help them piece together skills they already know, motivate them to learn new ones, and get a feel for what is necessary in the “competitive” arena.

Do you offer any “extra classes” to help my star perfect his/her routine?
Yes! Keep you eyes peeled for “Winter Showcase Extra Classes.” They will be held throughout January and February!

What should my child wear?
Refer to “Program Specific Info” for exact uniform. But remember, this is your athlete’s big day! Many of our stars do their hair and wear their best outfit! Be sure to check out our HUGE pre-Winter Showcase Sale in our Proshop! Sale stars two weeks before Winter Showcase
