WEDNESDAY CLASSES: Reminder THIS Wednesday is DRESS REHEARSAL for our Christmas Performance for Parents.

THIS THURSDAY is our Christmas Performance for Parents at 6 pm. Dancers need to be at the fair building and ready by 5:30 pm.

NOTE ABOUT CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE FOR PARENTS:

Attention Dancers & Parents: Our Technique Classes (Non-Competition Classes) & some of our competition team members have been learning Christmas routines during the month of December. They will be putting on a small performance of these routines for their parents on December 16 (Thursday). The performance will be held at the Duchesne County Fair Building. This performance is for parents only, due to limited seating. Please do not bring other relatives, etc. However, you are more than welcome to video tape your child's performance. The performance will start promptly at 6:00 pm and will last roughly 20 – 30 minutes. Dancers performing in this Christmas recital need to be at the building and completely ready by 5:30 pm so that we can stretch and make any last minute preparations as a group. Parents will not be allowed for seating until 5:45 pm.

Listed below is what dancers need to wear as their costume for this performance. We have tried to come up with costumes with items that most dancers already have on hand. If you do not already have an item, such as a Santa hat, please let Dana know ASAP and she can let you borrow one. We do not want anyone to have to buy costumes.

Costumes:

Pre-Jazz/Pre-Ballet (Wednesdays 3:30 – 4:15 pm): Please wear any clothes that you can dance in that are CHRISTMAS COLORS (preferably red, green or white). You can wear a Christmas colored bottom or black bottoms (shorts, capris, or pants). Also, please wear a RED Santa hat. If you do not have a Santa hat, let Dana know ASAP.

Beginning Jazz/Ballet Technique I (Wednesdays 4:15 – 5:15 pm): Please wear a winter hat, scarf and gloves of any color. Please wear dance clothes to coordinate with your hat, scarf and gloves. Example: You can wear a black leotard and skirt with your winter hat, scarf and gloves OR you can simply wear Christmas colored clothes with your winter hat, scarf and gloves.

Beginning/Intermediate Jazz & Ballet Technique II (Wednesdays 5:15 – 6:15 pm): Please wear black bottoms (shorts, capris or pants) and a CHRISTMAS COLOR shirt or leotard (red, green, white or silver). Also please wear a RED Santa hat. If you do not have a Santa hat, let Dana know ASAP.

Hair/Make-Up:

Dancers can wear their hair and make-up however they would like for this performance. However, please make sure that your hair will be pulled away from your face so that we can see your smiling faces when you perform. Make-up is optional.
