Hi Team,
Welcome back to the 5th edition of your 2024 WAG. I had a fantastic weekend chering Jake Moody on in the Super Bowl but especially watching you all compete at Northwestern. Y’all kicked some serious ass. I couldn’t be more proud!
Announcements for Everyone:
- Sticker Design Competition: Voting for sticker designs is now open! Please use this form to view the designs and cast your votes for your favorite 4 options. The winning design(s) will be added to the store for purchase. Voting closes on Wednesday, 2/14 at Midnight!
- Arnold Dancesport Classic: Get hyped for the Arnold Dancesport Classic March 2nd-3rd! Check your emails for an email from Rachel with information, due dates, forms, and registration. Registration, R&R, and payment are due Feb 23.

- Verified Teachers: Here is the new list of approved teachers for this semester! These are the upper level team members who can answer dance/technical questions at DTS, lesson, or guided practice. Please remember to be respectful of their time when asking for help.
- MichComp Committee: We host an amazing competition during the Winter semester, but in order to organize it, we need the help of you all! If you’re interested in joining the committee, please sign up here!
- MichComp Free Housing Host: Other teams host us for competitions and now this is your opportunity to give back for our home competition! Housing people from other teams is a great way to meet new people and help out the ballroom community. If you have any amount of floor space (even just enough for one person) in your house/apartment/dorm please fill out this form.
- Practice Space Schedule: The spreadsheet for space availability can be found here. It includes availability for IMSB Multipurpose Rooms A and B as well as the Ballroom Club schedule. The schedule can only be done two weeks in advance due to IM policies, so check back regularly. If the schedule is out of date, you may need to call and confirm specifics but the general availability is the same.
