FAQ:
What is the time commitment like?

Answer:  The Sussex Stags Dance Team will rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:30-10:00 at Gold’s Gym Flanders. The team will perform at all Sussex Stags Football home games. The Major League Football season runs from July through October. The dance team members will also be expected to do community events and fundraisers throughout the season.

The fine print…
Participation in the Sussex Stags Dance Team is considered volunteer. No professional compensation will be provided. Dancers will purchase uniform dress. Dancers are required to supply white sneakers, tights, black leggings, appropriate undergarments, makeup, and earrings. All other items will be provided by the Sussex Stags, but will be cared for by the dancer. Dancers will be financially responsible for lost or damaged items.

We look forward to seeing you at auditions! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Cheers!

Deborah J. Nelson founded Satin Stitches® in early 1978, as a one-woman venture after working as a Fashion Designer/Patternmaker for a high-end woman’s apparel company for five years in Minneapolis, MN. By 1979, Deborah added a team of  costume design professionals to help create the very best custom dance performance costuming available. Satin Stitches moved to its current location in 1989, and expanded to double the space in 1994. Although many changes have occurred at Satin Stitches in its nearly 40 year history as a high-quality, custom dance/performance costume manufacturer, the company still remains true to its beginnings, by consistently creating both completely original and customizable costumes for all types of performers including individuals and groups of any size.
 
 
Deborah’s 40+ years of professional design, fitting, alterations, and pattern-making experience hails her as a leader in the industry. A Bachelor of Fine Arts (Major: Fashion Design) graduate and former instructor at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), Deborah continues to share her knowledge and experience as both a speaker and writer on topics related to the design, selection, and care of performance costumes and uniforms. Her articles and designs have been featured in magazines including Dance Spirit, Dance Teacher, Survival Guide, Cheerleading/Dance & Drill, Synchronized Skating, and other national publications. Deborah also presents informational seminars at dance, skating and music educator clinics across the country, is a member of United Dance Merchants of America and served on the Editorial Advisory Board of Dance Spirit Magazine for its first five years.
