BLACK SCD TSHIRT
BLACK SCD JOGGERS
CLEAN WHITE TRAINERS (MUST BE 90% WHITE)
TRAINER SOCKS THAT CAN'T BE SEEN ABOVE THE TRAINERS
DUOS:
Do not need to have exactly the same outfit, just similar so that the judges can tell they are a duo.
SOLOS:
You can wear pretty much anything, as long as you are comfortable. If you feel you really have nothing else to wear, feel free to use TEAM uniform.
Please make sure all outfits are packed and ready to go!
FOOD AND DRINK:
We suggest bringing snacks/lunch with you and plenty of water! We see on google maps there is a Tesco express and Greggs nearby - I’m not sure how long the break is during the day so I would advise not solely relying on this!
PHOTOS AND SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE DAY
We love to take photos and videos at important days like this. Please be ready to join with any photos - including parents / family members if asked!
If you take video on the day and believe you have good footage to share please send to us using this link, rather than using the WhatsApp groups. Thanks.

COMPETITION DAY PRACTICING - FROM JAEDA
'My aim is to rehearse with all solo duos and crews on the day, before they compete. All the pieces are spread out, this means at any moment where there are no dancers for me to watch and support as they compete, I will gather certain people to practice. To help me with this, it would be great if all dancers and parents stay in the SCD area or with me to support the solos/duos/crew so that I can gather everyone quickly and practice whatever needs practicing next. This also means that I will need to know about any snack breaks, toilet trips etc (just drop me a message) just so I’m aware of where everyone is.
On the day please also keep an eye on the group chat for any messages like ‘ so and so, we will be practicing outside in 5 minutes’
The main aim of the day, is to support both crews in this exciting event throughout the day!
Thanks in advanced for all your help and support 😊'
