Winter Wonderland

Hi everyone, plans for our winter performances are shaping up.  Rehearsals started this week, and things are looking great!

Here is the schedule as of now:

Friday Dec.6  Open rehearsal for all dancers available to come.  We will set a schedule for each dance to be rehearsed, starting around 4pm..  This is an idea that is popular with other ballet schools, so I thought we could have a go at it.   I am thinking that this will be mostly for the older dancers.

Monday, Dec. 9 dress rehearsal for all dancers, starting with the youngest dancers at 4 pm (this will be in place of the 3 earliest classes).  Pre-teens, teens and adults will start at 5pm.We will rehearse in costumes and possibly with stage lights!  This might be a great time to take some photos of your dancer!

Classes will continue as scheduled through that week.

Performances

Weekend one:

Friday, Dec. 13, show at 6 pm

Saturday, Dec.14, I would like to do 2 shows, at 1 pm and 4 pm, rather than 1 show at 6pm.  This is also a day of the Winter Arts Fair at the Mateel.  Families can combine enjoying both events on the same day.  I believe we have done this successfully in the past.

Weekend two, with our guest dancers!

Friday, Dec. 20, show at 6 pm

Sunday, Dec.22, two shows, 1pm and 4 pm

Please note that our youngest dancers will be divided into two groups, each group performing  3 shows only!

Details on arrival times for each group of dancers will be available later.

 

Winter show rehearsals to start soon!

After Halloween, rehearsals for our winter performance will begin.   Each class will be participating in a dance, some classes joining up to dance together.  Most rehearsals will take place during class for convenience, though some classes will merge to rehearse as the show dates get closer.  There will be one, perhaps two, group rehearsals.  There is currently one scheduled for Monday, Dec. 8 at 4pm.

Five shows will take place over the course of two weekends to ensure that all family members and friends will get to see the show.  Our youngest dancers will not be required to attend every show,.  Parents can review their schedule, see what dates work best for their family, and teachers will create a cast list for each show.
