Upcoming dates and information for PDC

Hi again!

 

The State High School Dance Festival is rapidly approaching!  It is all day Saturday Feb 8th 2014 at BYU.  We will be sharing a bus with Lehi.  This festival will only cost you $10 for the whole day!!!!!!!!!  You will need to bring your own lunch, costumes, etc.  Parents/chaperones are welcome to come and help at no charge.  (I would love help, since I am in charge of State, and will be running around the whole time).  You will be getting a permission slip with details, etc. shortly.

 

I'll attach the schedule of just our technique class and adjudication.  I'm still working on the master schedule with all of the other elective classes.

 

After school practices:

We cannot have anyone miss ANY after school practices these next 2 weeks, since our time is short and we need every rehearsal to get our dances good for adjudication.

 

GRADES:  

Dancers cannot have an F in any current class or he/she cannot participate in trips or competitions (like state or nationals or field trips or performances).  

 

FUNdraiser at Classic Skating! 

All dance company is required to help promote and attend at least one of the nights partying at Classic Skating.  We will get a percentage of the money brought in by Lone Peak students when they go on the following days:  March 14th (country dancing) and 15th (decades roller disco).  

 

We will be doing proposals for new dances right after State.  Those dancers wishing to choreograph, be prepared with 1 minute of movement, a proposal sheet, and any research or supporting materials for your idea.  

 

PAYMENTS - IF Late, you will be charged/added $5 per day onto your total.  Please pay on time. 

 

SCHOOL SUPPORT:  PDC wants to go together on the school bus to support our school Drill Team at State this upcoming Friday.

 

SHOUT OUT:  to Cierra (awesome new and dedicated PDC President), Jaiden (for stepping up and picking up Brad/Tara's dance), and Abby and Ninoska (for being our sweet and wonderful newest members: welcome to the family)

 

Luv ya,

"Enjoy the Journey"

PDC Dance Practice Schedule: After School Student Choreography

Please make sure you and your parents are aware of which dances you are in.  You MUST be at ALL practices for the pieces you are in!!!  Every practice is essential.

Every Friday B8 in class we will do showings.  Parents and others are welcome to come and watch and give feedback of our works in progress during our showings, which will start at 1:30 pm.

Nov 1:  Dances need to be half choreographed

Nov 15:  Dances need to be finished choreographed

Nov 25:  Dances should be cleaned

Soon after is the Thanksgiving Break.  Upon returning we go into the 2 weeks of concert prep staying after school doing spacing, tech-ing, lighting, dress rehearsal, etc.  

PDC Practices.... After School Reminder

In case you forgot, our regular PDC times are:  

Mondays:  1:30-2:40 pm
Tuesdays:  2:30-4:40 pm
Wednesday-Fridays: 2:30-3:40 pm

EVERY PRACTICE IS WORTH PARTICIPATION POINTS.  Absences, leaving early, or being tardy result in a lower participation grade.

You should have scheduled and requested those times off from when you auditioned for PDC last school year (the times were the same as above and set).

You may have times/days when you don't have practice (especially when we start auditioning for student choreographed works, after Shakespeare), but these times were supposed to be blocked off.

You cannot miss practices 1 week before any performance, or you will get multiple demerits.  This is in the contract and demerit paper.

You must be at our scheduled practices, especially since Shakespeare and Homecoming is so close.  No more leaving rehearsal unless it is a deathly emergency and I have received notice from your parents.  This lets the whole team down, wastes a practice, and requires us to have more practices.  Please remember your commitment to the team, and this busy stressful time with both Homecoming and Shakespeare that require excellence on our part, which requires actual attendance on the part of each individual.
"The Sum of Us is Greater than the Individual." (Fish poster in the dance room)

Love you,
Let's enjoy the journey, which means being positive and finding joy in hard times, and finding purpose through working through those tough and stressful spots!  It's these times that show and define our character.

Week One: First week of school!!!!!

Hello lovelies!

Here is our schedule for the first week of school.  Don't forget to wear and bring your dance clothes, binder, aesthetics quote, healthy food choices, water, etc.

Get your time off work and other activities for these times!  If you cannot make it, you will not be in it.  Both choreographers are from out of state, so don't miss out!

Andrew:  We need you first week of school at lunch time to start the hip hop/breakdance club!!!

Monday Aug 19th
3-5:00pm (Bollywood)

Tuesday Aug 20th (A-day)
2:30-5:00pm (Bollywood)

Wednesday Aug 21st (B-day)

PDC this week, and our upcoming CONCERT!!!

Hello lovely ladies!

Good job to those that tried out for PDC for next year!  The list with the new member's names has been given to the counselor to put in.  Leave it blank, B8 (B-day 4th period) on your schedule.  

New Members, you will be performing Nat's combo in the dance concert.  Date and time of a short 1-2 hour rehearsal tba shortly.  Also, Congrats to Akaysha Greer, next year's PDC President!

Thursday is when we should have our dances cleaned, as per our calendar.  Please work hard!  

Costumes:  It is almost past the deadline to purchase costumes that will need to be shipped.  I hope we can use things we already have, or find some cheap things in nearby stores.  Choreographers, please be on top of costuming your dance.

Choreographers:  Whitney is working hard trying to put together the concert program on her own time.  Please get all information to her as soon as possible, including title, music artist, dancers, and any notes.

Choreographers, have your music cut by this Thursday.  If you need help, Mrs. D, Akaysha, and some others may be able to help with music editing.  If you have a mac and garage band, it is really easy.

Finale:  Natalie and Kalli will be working with you on the finale and should have the music cut this week.  Grade levels, have your sections of choreography completed this week and cleaned as much as possible.  We will be doing some of this in class.

Natalie's Dance:  we will be working on this in class, (as well as the finale).  

Extra practices:   your choreographer may have called an extra emergency practice to finish off or clean their dance.  Now is crunch time, and you need to attend and be on time to every practice.  

I know this Saturday morning Natalie, and Whit/Kenna are having an extra practice.  Please check with your choreographers.

Mandi's Practice:  Due to Junior registration, Mandi's practice was changed from Monday to this Wednesday, right after Autumn's dance. 

Nyah's Practice:  Due to missing dancers, also because of registration, Nyah will be having a practice this Thursday following Autumn/Kalli's dance, right at 3:40pm.

Poster:  Ashlyn, Akaysha, and Natalie, please send your outline drawing of how you want the poster, along with the picture/photo to Mrs. Di Lello as soon as possible, early this week.  If you can do it on your own without my help, in photoshop or some other program, please do so.   

Slide Show:  Please send your favorite photos from this past year to McKenna.  I think Kenna and Whitney were going to put together the slide show, with a Vegas section.  We can show this at intermission or right before the finale.

Tickets:  Who was making these?  We will also need volunteers (parents) to sell/take tickets and concessions both days of our concert.

All info for concert (poster, slideshow, program, tickets):  please approve and run a draft by me, Mrs. Di Lello for approval, then they will be sent off to the printers.  You do get NHSDA points for doing this, as you are helping "put on" the concert!

National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA):

If you want to be inducted or get extra points (starts) please turn in your packet no later than Friday of this week for processing.  If you have not been inducted you will need to pay the induction fee.  If you are graduating and want honor cords, please also pay the according fee and get all of your info in to me so I can order them.

SCHEDULE for CONCERT WEEK:

I hope you have gotten off your work and made appropriate arrangements for these upcoming 2 weeks.  If there are some extenuating circumstances, please let me know no later than this WEDNESDAY the day and the latest you can stay at the school, and the earliest you can come back to the school.  I know that things sometimes come up and I will try my best to arrange certain dances to be at the best times.  I will try to have most of our practices done no later than 8:00pm, but this all depends on the techies and your patience.  Guest choreographers, please get me the all the times you are available to space and light your piece.  I want to get our schedule out to everyone by the end of this week (fingers crossed).

Remember, when you are not spacing or lighting on the stage, you will be cleaning your dance in the dance room.  

Parents:  We would love to have parents bring some snacks and drinks on the nights of our lighting and tech-ing.  We will have a sign up in the dance room and will be asking the dancers to sign you up for a certain day for either a snack or drinks.  

Our concert (not recital) is only as good as you make it.  You are all beautiful and talented!  Let's put forth the little extra effort to show everyone how amazing we are!  This does require work, and work pays off :)

More and updated info will be posted often here on our blog.  Keep checking!

Love you all!  Keep being amazing!

We're IN!!!!

GREAT NEWS!  We are Going to Nationals!

After being on the wait list for months to attend "The National High School Dance Festival" we received news yesterday that we are off the wait list and all set to go!  There were so many schools and dancers that registered that there was enough for two festivals!

This festival only happens every other year and rotates between Miami and Philadelphia.  This year it is a Philadelphia.  This is BIG.  Many fine arts, magnet, and charter schools attend this festival, as well as schools from Australia, Canada, Hawaii, and Europe.  There are auditions for graduating seniors during one of the days for University and summer program scholarships, as well as professional company.  One such recruiter is Julliard.

This festival is so great because it is arts based and is not competitive in the sense that there different ratings such as first, second, third place.  It helps foster talent and artistry to the highest level in our dancers.  Every single time I have taken my dance company, they have been blown away at the talent and choreographic level of other high school students their same age from across the nation.  It is good to get out of our bubble sometimes.

MORE GREAT NEWS!
We were also accepted to perform in an informal concert featuring student choreography!  Our PDC President Beth Covey's dance "Dollhouse" was accepted into this performance.  It is a huge honor to be able to perform at this festival amongst all the other amazing schools.  I usually have to tell my dancers not to expect to have any of our pieces accepted or to get their hopes up because we are just a normal public school.  Seriously, some of these other schools are so good and have original Paul Taylor or Graham works re-created on them.   THIS IS A BIG COMPLIMENT to us as dancers, performers, and choreographers!

Just because we don't focus on trophies or halftime performances does not mean we are not doing great things!  Our school's Performing Dance Company is really well known and highly thought of by all the university dance programs around Utah.

Keep up the good work dancers.   We have lots of work to do, but you are doing wonderful, and I hope you do feel recognized for your accomplishments.  STATE and NATIONALS, here we come.

Pre-Performance Video Assessment

Please Watch the Recordings and comment in the survey to get points for this assignment.  Seeing yourself can be revealing.  Being able to watch other dances helps develop a critical eye and helps those other choreographers with a fresh look.  We are all part of this company.  We are not competing against each other.  We are only as strong as our weakest link.  Let's all help each other so we all look amazing and represent the name of Lp Performing Dance Company well.

Showings Videos:
Note:  These are not searchable on You Tube.  Please do not re-post or publish, as these are works in progress and we want to "surprise" the audience (and avoid others copying your dances)

THIS IS AN ASSIGNMENT WORTH POINTS!

Choreographer Form

ALL Choreographers must fill out this information to have your dance info inserted into the program.

Dances and Important Stuff

Reminders and Info:

Student Choreographed Dances: 

Must be 1/2 done on Thursday November 3rd.  

In class showings and peer critiques on choreography.

If dances not completed by set time-frame, or cleaned by set date, dances can and will get cut from the concert.  Same with dancers, if dancers do not show up, they may be pulled from a section of the dance, or the whole dance all together, as per PDC contract.

PDC Daily Homework:  dancers must learn, review, and perfect material learned the previous day in class from his/her choreographer.  You have homework in every class, and this class is not different.  The choreographer does not have time to continually re-teach material, it is the dancers responsibility to have it down so the choreographer can move on with material.

FRI NOV. 4th:  Football Half-Time @ Lp
School wants us to do the big homecoming mash-up routine with everyone this Friday.  We must have 100% participation (if you can't do it, we have some dancers that didn't do it that would be willing to learn your part).  This is great exposure for us and to show we are willing to support our school.   You should remember the routine, it is just formations we may need to review/work on.

PDC BUDDIES:
Don't forget your buddy's birthday or half birthday!
Please remind and help your buddy out with remembering practices, assignments, etc.

Dancer Spotlights:

Officers:  Don't forget to do, present, and turn in your Dancer Spotlight so we can highlight one dancer on our bulletin per week!  This "should" be done on the Monday you teach technique.

 
Vampire Dance:  We will have practice EVERY Friday Morning at 6:15 AM!

Field Trip:  "Complexions Contemporary Ballet" matinee ($3)

November 8th (A-day, school-excused)

Luvs,
Mrs. Di, PDC Officers, and Parents :) 

Email sent out 10/13/11

I am posting this email I sent out just in case some of you don't check your emails or have changed emails.  I want to make sure we are all on the same page.
 
Hello Dancers!

Great job doing your proposals.  I was impressed with the research and effort many of you put in.  I wish we could have more dances, but our time is limited.  I hope some of you propose your dances next semester again! 

Wonderful work at Shakespeare.  Huge thanks to our wonderful parent chaperons!

Heads up, we only have about a month to start, finish, and have your student choreographed dances cleaned before we go into the 2 weeks of concert prep.  Please do not miss class or after school practices, as we are on a tight schedule.  That said, choreographers, always come prepared with material or tasks to do during your hour.

PDC PICTURES:
Your pictures orders are due tomorrow (Friday).  Please have your envelope ready to turn in to me tomorrow.  If you have specific questions, contact Sherry Ward, the photographer.  I also need the picture # of which headshot photo you want me to order for the pictures I am ordering to put up on our bulletin board.

Social: Sadie's Dance
optional, but for those who would like to go to Sadies as a dance co. group.  I will be teaching swing dance at 5:30pm in the dance room for an hour, then I think the dancers will be going to an old diner, then the dance.  Dress theme is 50's / Greece. 

SHAKESPEARE ASSIGNMENT:
One to two page type written paper about what you learned from our Shakespeare trip.
Due: Tuesday October 18th

Halloween Social: ? TBA?

State Dance Festival is confirmed for Sat Feb 18th at the UofU.

Need deposit soon for our big trip to Philadelphia to purchase tickets.  Trip helper moms looking at ticket prices, please keep me informed, we should act soon, contact me once you contact an airline and get "real" prices.

I have also attached our "Dancer Spotlight" so we can start presenting those with the information all the dancers submitted at the beginning of the year (the questionnaire).  If you still didn't do it, please do it :)


You are all wonderful, I am so happy to have you on company! 
Please remember to take time to keep up your dance technique and take ballet classes :)

Publicity Officer: you may want to get out how well we did to the school (school newspaper) or anywhere else that you can think of, or even write up a little thing about our experience there.

happy dancing--
KD
