Winter Concert
Dancers and Parents!
I am excited to announce that we are offering an opportunity for all our dancers to participate in a winter concert! We are unable to present our annual Nutcracker this season but I know how important performance opportunities are for providing inspiration and motivation! The Nutcracker is usually an audition based performance but this will be a unique opportunity for all students to participate. As it is not possible to rehearse in the traditional way, each class will learn either a variation from the Nutcracker or a piece with a winter theme. There will be no outside rehearsals required but consistent attendance to class will be very important.
Registration for participation in the concert is available on our website.
Participation is not required. Learning and remembering choreography from week to week is an important skill so all students will benefit from this process regardless.
Classes will begin learning their piece in October and we anticipate recording each class in the beginning of December. Recording will take place at the studio during their regular class time(s), dancers will wear their “costume” for class that week. The pieces will be edited together and broadcast and then offered as a recording. We will announce the broadcast date in the near future.
In order to help cover the costs associated with the recording, editing, choreography and production we are asking each dancer for a $40 participation fee which will include a tank top that each dancer will wear for the show. This amount represents the usual minimum costs incurred for the Nutcracker (tights and shoes) for each dancer. We do not usually charge a fee for the Nutcracker but we are not able to collect ticket revenue this season.
As always, if you are able, any additional donations are appreciated. As a non-profit organization we are still supporting any dancers that wish to pursue this art form but are not able to afford tuition.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!
