2011 Summer Classes

Summer Performance Team:

Our Summer Performance Team will perform at various community events including: Relay for Life, KLiC Cancer Walk, and the Duchesne County Fair Parade. Dancers will learn modern jazz & basic ballet technique. A performance tank-top will need to be purchased in order to perform at these events. Dancers will also need black shorts, white socks, & white gym shoes.

Jazz/Ballet Classes:

We have two age grouped classes in jazz/ballet. Pre-Jazz/Pre-Ballet is for ages 2-7, and Jazz/Ballet I is for ages 8-12. Dancers will learn modern jazz & beginning ballet technique.

Gymnastics Classes:

We have two ability based gymnastics classes. Gymnastics I is a “Beginning/Pre-Walkover” class. This class is for dancers who are very new to gymnastics and/or are not yet able to perform back-walkovers or front-walkovers. Gymnastics II is a Intermediate/Advanced class. This class is for dancers who are already able to perform back- walkovers and front-walkovers.

Ballet Technique (Intermediate/Advanced Level):

This class is strongly recommended for any drill team member or any Intermediate/Advanced dancer wanting to improve their ballet technique. Dancers in this class will work on ballet technique at the barre as well as various leaps, turns, extensions, & more.

Drill Technique (For current or soon-to-be drill team members):

This class is strongly recommended for drill team members (or soon-to-be drill team members) wanting to improve at an intermediate/advanced level. Dancers will work specifically on steps/movements that are in drill team routines such as: back leaps, side leaps, fuettes, headstands, toe rolls, etc. *All dancers who completed this class last summer, made the cut for all THREE drill team competition routines.*

SCHOOL ASSEMBLY

2011-04-14T09:40:00.002-06:00

Attention Dancers & Parents:

We have recently been asked to perform THIS FRIDAY (April 15^th) at the Duchesne Elementary School for a school assembly. Mr. Young has informed me that the assembly will start at 1:45 pm. Dancers (at the Elementary) will be excused a little early to get ready & possibly rehearse on the stage, if time permits. SENIORS: IF YOU ARE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND ARE PLANNING TO PERFORM, YOUR PARENT WILL NEED TO CHECK YOU OUT OF SCHOOL TO BE ABLE TO COME TO THE ELEMENTARY & PERFORM. Please make sure you have enough time to get ready and be to the Elementary school by 1:15 pm by the stage. If your parent does not want you to perform because you will be missing school, please let Dana know ASAP!

All levels of the competition team will perform, however, due to limited time we will NOT be performing all routines. Minis will perform “California Girls” (pink/white polka dot leotard, white wrap skirt, tan tights, and tan dance shoes), Petites will perform “Calling You” (purple/black dress, purple headband, tan tights, and tan dance shoes), Seniors will perform “Popular” (green dress, black slashed top, black shorts, green hair tie, tan tights, and tan dance shoes), Lyrical Team will perform “Already Gone” (white dress, black leotard, black shorts, tan tights, and tan dance shoes), and our Hip-Hop Team will perform “Crash ” (black leotard, black shorts, green net, tan tights, hip-hop socks, and white shoes). All dancers need to wear their hair competition style. If you are not able to put your hair in a french braid, you still need to have your hair pulled back into a messy bun. Performance Make-Up is recommended, however because it is for a school assembly, you are not required to wear full performance make-up. Please wear your warm-up jacket to school to support your team for their performance.

Parents: If you are willing to take pictures before and during the performances, or to record the performances, please let me know. Thanks!

REMINDER: THIS SATURDAY MARCH 16^th IS MANDATORY GYM PRACTICE AT THE DHS OLD GYM FROM 9 AM TILL NOON.

Attention Dancers & Parents: THIS Saturday (March 12) we will be having MANDATORY Gym Practice/Mock Competition from 9 am till NOON at the Duchesne 1^st & 3^rd Ward Church Gym. THIS PRACTICE IS MANDATORY, DANCERS WILL NOT BE EXCUSED FOR MISSING THIS PRACTICE! Dancers need to come wearing their team warm-ups over their team practice attire. Bring ALL of your costumes, costume accessories, shoes, tights, warm-ups, etc. Come with your hair & make-up in competition style when you arrive (see below for required make-up & hair styles). If dancers need help with their hair and/or make-up they need to meet at the church building by 8:15 am! Bring all of your own hair & make-up supplies. Come as ready as possible. If you only need help with hair, make sure you already have on all your make-up & vice versa. If any moms are willing to help with hair and/or make-up, please come at 8:15 am. We will practice all routines the first 1 ½ -2 hours and the last 1 – 1 ½ hours will be our Mock Competition. We will also be taking team pictures throughout practice. There will be judges to critique the girls on their performances. We need to be as prepared & professional as we would be at competition. DO NOT BE LATE!

TEAM MAKE-UP: ALL Dancers need to wear DARK eyeshadow (browns/grays), BLACK mascara, BLACK eyeliner (top & bottom), dark RED lipstick, and LOTS of blush! Performance make-up is much heavier/darker than you would usually wear it. ABSOLUTELY NO GLITTER!

HAIR: All dancers need to wear their hair parted on the LEFT side (2-3 inches back) and FRENCH BRAIDED from the “part” to the edge of your forehead right as it starts to curve. Secure the braid with a CLEAR hair elastic. NO BANGS, braid them in! Then (after the french braid is in) MINIS need to slick their hair back into a TIGHT HIGH ponytail with lots of BIG CURLS. Then (after the french braid is in) PETITES & SENIORS need to slick their hair into a TIGHT ponytail in the middle of the back of your head. Then pull the hair into a TIGHT messy bun.

Make sure you do not have any “fly-aways”. Use lots of bobby pins, hair spray, & hair elastics that match your hair color. Practice doing your hair before our Mock Competition and make sure it will stay in place tightly for the entire performance.

The Mock Competition will start between 10:45 AM – 11:00 AM. Parents are welcome to watch the Mock Competition portion of practice ONLY! This is a closed dress rehearsal/gym practice! Parents coming to watch the Mock Competition will NOT be allowed to enter the gym or stage area until 10:45 AM. THIS DRESS REHEARSAL/MOCK COMPETITION IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! Only parents of team dancers are allowed to watch the mock competition, no other relatives, friends, etc. Please try not to bring children with you, as it is a distraction to the dancers & we have limited seating.

Costumes

2011-03-10T19:47:00.001-07:00

Dancers & Parents: Your child will receive their costume(s) within the next few weeks IF ALL DUES ARE PAID IN FULL & UP TO DATE, this includes tuition, costumes, tights, shoes, etc. Once your child receives her costume, it is the dancer's & parent's responsibility to keep it clean & undamaged. Please be careful with your costumes. If it is lost, the company may not be able to send a new costume in time for our Spring Recital (which will be held the end of May). Please be sure to put the dancer's name somewhere on the inside of the costume. Also, we ask that you do not have your child wear their costume to class, unless specified for a dress rehearsal. We want everyone's costume to be in perfect condition when it comes time for class pictures & our Spring Recital.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

2011-02-27T10:20:00.002-07:00

Attention Dancers, our first competition is less than 3 weeks away! Make sure you are practicing every day and that you have your routines memorized! Practice makes perfect!

We will be having a few gym practices & a mock competition this month. ALL of these practices are mandatory!!! Watch for the dates listed on your calendars.

As always, all team members need to be in team dress code FOR ALL PRACTICES! Wear your green/white tank, black shorts/pants/capris, & hair MUST be pulled back into a ponytail/bun with NO BANGS! It is easier to perfect a team in uniform.

***If you would like a copy of your music please bring in a blank CD & I would be more than happy to put your music on it for you. You can also have a parent come the last 15-20 minutes of class to record your routines so you can practice them at home & have them memorized.***
