Thank yous, and Summer Arts Fair

 

Thank you to everyone for creating such a wonderful spring performance this year!
 
Next up is the Summer Arts Fair at Benbow next weekend. We are gathering dancers from each class to perform. Both shows will commence at noon on the main stage. Little Ewoks will only dance on Sunday. This Wednesday we will make a list of who wants to participate and hopefully have performer wristbands to pass out as well.
 
The next class is showing interest, so we can perform the Jedi dance, the Comet dance, and the Princess Leia’s garden dance. We will rehearse Tuesday and Wednesday at 4, and also we hope to have performer wristbands to pass out for you as well.
 
I have been making arrangements with some of the moms to be backstage helpers. This is crucial, so be sure and talk to me at rehearsal so we can make a list of parents and the dancers they will be watching.
 
The older dancers are ready, we have made plans and the teens are even choreographing some new pieces on the own to perform.
 
The tappers will perform their dance, there is enough interest to participate. Please come to at least one of the rehearsals.
 
Reminder- all performers are encouraged to ride the shuttle, we only get 2 performer parking passes so we can load in costumes. Believe me, the shuttle seems like the best option, having had to deal with the hassle of the parking situation every year, even with a performer pass!!! Also, parents need to purchase passes unless we have signed you up as a backstage helper.
 
Have a fun week-end, see you net week!

A few more details!

 

Something else helpful for Ewok moms…. if your child is only dancing and not watching the full show, arrive at show time to get ready, as act 1 is 20 minutes long, followed by a short intermission….plenty of time to get costumes on for act 2.

And for the moms of the Tuesday/Thursday girls, arrive 30 minutes before showtime, with your hair and make-up done. I think that will be enough time to get ready for the show. Each girl now has a tub with their name and costume list on it, which will probably stay in the hall by the stage door for all the quick changes they have! On Thursday, after act 2 is over , they can slip to the seats to watch act 3.

All other dancers arrive 60 minutes before show time to dress and warm-up.

Updates

Hello dancers and families, Today we are starting to set up the theater. There is class as usual AT THE STUDIO at 3:30 followed by a run through of the entire show-without Ewoks.

A few reminders- class payments for this session are due. If you still need to make a payment, please do so soon.

All dancers except Ewoks will be using nude tights, which I have ordered from Kevin. The cost is $9 for children and $13.50 adult sizes.

We are hoping to have the concessions table well stocked for our audiences. Brook will be contacting you via email or facebook about setting up the day that works best for you. The money raised is used for scholarships or special activities.

Wednesday rehearsal is at 4pm, for act 2, the act with the Ewoks and Cantina scene.

Thursday is a full run through dress rehearsal at 4pm. This is a good day to take photos and videos.

Tickets will be available 30 minutes before the show. If you are only coming for act 2, after your child is ready to dance, she can stay with Nina and you can slip round to the front and watch from the back until your child is done. Act 2 is about 20 minutes long. For those of you watching the entire show, there will be a brief intermission after Act 1, when you can bring your child around to the dressing room. I suggest that she already have her costume on before the show starts.

We can make plans for backstage helpers on Wednesday.

See you soon.
