Please send my best to RPI if you think of it. I would love to attend their event next year. It is always nice to support other teams. Kudos to you all.
Can you elaborate a little bit on what would be most useful? There's: "Our team members have no shoes. They dance in socks. With holes in them. And they stand on the sidewalk holding cans begging for spare change." Or: "We have some team members moving up in the ranks and it would be great if we had a nice ballgown or latin dress for competitions."
I tried sending you an email like a week ago, but never got a response so I'm not sure if you're getting my emails? We don't have team meetings too often, probably our next one won't be for at least another couple weeks.
Out of the three, practice clothing would be the most practical. Every semester we have problems getting appropiate clothing on our dancers. We always have a struggle to find affordable clothing that would be good to dance in, especailly at comps. Shoes would be next. Most of the dancers have shoes, but there are several people who cannot afford to buy shoes of their own. Some have gone semesters without appropiate shoes because of this.
We are unable to give away additional merchandise as we have already gone over budget but I am more than happy to offer ridiculously low prices on the practice wear I have in stock. If any teams are interested in maybe 30% off my regular prices you may private message me and I can send a list of what I have. I don't mind dropping prices to help.
Err... not to be argumentative, but shoes should be #1. You can buy (or even make) skirts and dresses cheap at thrift stores, and men should have at least one set of black slacks and button-up. They might not be "dancewear," but they work just fine. Nothing can replace dance shoes.
Hi there! I wonder if it would be possible to put in a request for a non-USA University (England)? There does seem to be one other institution on the list from out of the States. From what I've seen the board is primarily American, but I believe I've seen a few fellow countrymen (and women!) around. I thought it might be worth a try.
Hey Janson, I'm having a clear out this summer and will PM you if there's anything my uni team doesn't snatch up. Are you after anything in particular? I think the team might still be selling off dresses to raise funds for the club.
Exeter University DanceSport Society (England) Hello, I would just like to say that we are also looking for donations of dancewear for use in competitions. Male and female: shoes, syllabus-level practice wear, dresses, shirts, trousers. Anything that still has even a little bit of life left in it. We've so far not built up a wardrobe of team owned clothing, but would love to start. Please contact myself (Team Captain) via DF or on tak202[at]exeter.ac.uk
