Travel Schedule

Friday January 29 Leave Ohio

12 NOON Leave from studio -  ETA to hotel approx 3:30/4:00

Workshop 5:30 - 8:30

(there will be some sort of dinner - either ordered in room (pizza etc) or we might go somewhere right after which is another reason I want us to look put together if we stop in somewhere)

Saturday January 28 Return

We would leave at approximately 3PM,  it just depends if there are things I need to take care of for current Indiana members.  It takes about 3 ish hours (not counting gas and potty stops to get to and from) - and it depends, we may leave on Sunday if we find an additional spot.
 

What to wear/pack for ALL CURRENT MEMBERS

  • Please bring your black white and pink MID gear for the workshops, NOT competition shirts, NOT St. Patrick's shirts

You will be participating as a dancer as well as an instructor and I want us to look like a team and professional, not a bunch of hobos  : )

  • If you don't have  "Official" MID gea then plain black white or pink clothing

  • I would prefer black leggings if you have them or black shorts. 

  • Make sure shorts are an appropriate length. 

     I have been noticing some of the shorts at the Dayton studio are getting a little too short.

  • Both pairs of shoes

  • Gym shoes you can dance in, in case your feet get tired and sore

  • Air mattress/sleeping bag pillows/blanket

  • Spending money for dinner/lunch/snack and incidentals and your travel money if you are travelling with me
