Spirit Week
Let's see your Starpath Spirit!
|
|
From January 31 - February 5, dancers will wear purple or green to class and participate in fun dance contests and games! The week will culminate in a BIG REVEAL of our 2022 Recital theme!
Your spirit color this year will be based on your home address number. If your street address is an even number, you wear green. If it’s an odd number, you wear purple.
Get your purple and green clothes, posters, and accessories ready because the dancer with the most spirit will announce our recital theme!
Don't have any spirit wear? Start with our Spirit Shirt below for only $15!
