�� MID Christmas Break Practice Challenge Starts Dec. 21!

Shelagh Mcgovern

Hi MID Families,

We’re excited to kick off our Christmas Break Practice Challenge running December 21 through January 5! This fun and structured challenge gives dancers an easy way to stay active over the break — and also keeps their skills sharp as we head into a very busy spring. Full challenge details, point info, and the practice logs can be found in the packet we shared.

⭐ Why Participate?

• Helps dancers maintain stamina and technique
• Encourages self-motivation and accountability
• Makes practice fun with holiday-themed bonus challenges
• Keeps Nationals dancers (February!) on track with daily consistency
• Builds confidence for all levels when classes resume in January

⭐ How It Works

Dancers earn 1 point for every 15 minutes of practice, with bonus points for videos, festive backgrounds, and wearing MID gear.
The dancer with the most points wins:
• One FREE extra practice session
• A $5 gift card
• Bragging rights as MID’s Most Dedicated Holiday Dancer!

Practice charts must be turned in by midnight on January 5.

Whether your dancer is brand new, building skills, or preparing for CRN North American Nationals, this challenge gives them a positive way to stay connected to their goals during break.

Thank you for supporting and encouraging your dancers — we can’t wait to see their progress heading into 2026!

Warmly,
Shelagh & The MID Teaching Team 💚✨
