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)

Lp Homecoming Carnival & Halftime Performance

Lone Peak Fight Song

PDC Dancers are so versatile they could be cheerleaders (just don't listen to their singing)

This past weekend was a lot of fun.

PDC participated in the carnival before the game.  We had a booth with henna (by our amazing Jasmine), jedi braids (way to braid Ashlyn and Cierra), nails with crackle paint, and otter pops.  Huge thanks to Jasmine and family, et all. for putting this together last minute!  (officers, please post pics)

Thumbs Up!
I don't have to
pee my pants
anymore!

HI!

The Homecoming halftime consisted of dancers from PDC, cheer, drill, and ballroom, and the captains/officers of each team helped choreograph and put it all together (supposedly).  Event though there was miscommunication and difficult extra practices, it turned out quite well.  I am proud of you dancers!  Here are some pictures.

Now we REALLY need to start working on Shakespeare which is the beginning of October! Be prepared for extra and late/early practices dearies.

We are all friends

Going Down                                                                                                   

                 

Pose.  Fly Cheerleaders, Fly!

Dancin'

All together now

The End

Getting ready to welcome players back on field.
