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)

PDC 2013-2014

Good job to everyone that tried out!  Remember to keep auditioning and to never give up!  This is not the end, only the beginning.  Remember the quote I gave in the audition:

If you did not make it this year, please try out again next year.  For some of you, I want to see you in the other LP dance classes and see you investment and improvement, and would love to see you on PDC in following years.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!


For those that did make it onto this list...
This is not a guarantee you will be on next year for it may be contingent upon some of the following:

*required forms are not turned in
*missing teacher recommendations
*probationary until grades are fixed
*more technique is required, especially over the summer
*poor teacher recommendations and personal interview is needed
*needing to enroll in Lp Dance 2 or Dance 3 (this is a requirement for PDC)
You will get a personal email with what specific things I will be needing from you.

CONGRATULATIONS: 
Sabrina Christensen
Kelzie Devitt

Important Info for New PDC:

Lp PDC Spring Concert is May 9-10th at 7:00 pm.  Please come (you get in for free).  You will be performing Natalie's Contemporary Combo right before the finale at the end of the concert to introduce the audience to next year's team.  Please make every effort to be there.  We will have a short 1-2 hour practice to space everyone out and review the combo, with date TBA.  Keep checking this blog and your email and join our PDC facebook pages!  Also please add the PDC google calendar to your calendar for important upcoming dates and assignments.

A New Member and Parent Meeting will be held after the PDC Concert, date TBA.  We will review the expectations, requirements, etc. for the upcoming year.  I will be printing off our dates and info for you to give to your studios, in hopes we can work together with scheduling to support our dancers.

Before the school year ends, we will have a New Member Social.  Here I would also like to vote and appoint Officers for PDC so the officers and I can start working over the summer making plans and getting things ready.

We will be having some socials, planning meetings, and perform in some parades throughout the summer for those that are available and around.    Right before school starts (or soon after) we will have a PDC retreat and getting-to-know-you team building social/overnight trip as well.

This is going to be a great year! I am very excited to get to WORK!  (Keep up your push-ups)

Mrs. Di Lello

concert week schedule

Email sent out reads as follows. 

Please read and keep! Important information included for these next 2 weeks.

Please have your parents sign up to bring drinks/snacks and to help at the concert! 

Choreographers: use your time wisely (especially any time not in the auditorium)!  Avoid extra practices if possible. 
Choreographers:  email you final cut music to Mrs. Di Lello no later than this Wednesday.
Choreographers:  fill out a lighting sheet, make sure you have everything for your costumes, put/type all of your dance (including title, music, dancers, notes/quote, choreographers, etc. into the program no later than this Thursday.
Choreographers:  do something nice for your dancers :)

Accept the facebook invite for the concert event, and invite all of your friends.  Put the poster jpeg as your wall photo for the concert.

All dancers,
please remember it is a "privilege" not a "right" to be on a company and school team. You are always auditioning.   Be positive and work hard.  This concert, YOUR concert, will only be as good as YOU make it!  Please be appreciative and respectful to your teachers and choreographers from here on out.

Love you all!

Mrs. Di Lello

Back from Break, Starting Concert Prep!!!

HI!!!  

Hope Everyone had a Happy Turkey Day (as my 3 yr. old son calls it)!

Here is a temporary show order proposal.  Let me know if I missed anything.  I tried to make it so there are not too many costume changes and that not all the same styles of dance or themes are next to each other.  For example some similar ones could be: (UVU is doing a dance on the over-use of technology, Dance 2: "there's an app for that", Curiosity: robot, Jailbreak: hip hop).

I will send the schedule for this week.  Plan on staying every evening until 8pm, except Monday.  Next week, it may be later.  This is mandatory for these next 2 weeks!  Next week will require you to stay later, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Prepare for this.  Bring homework, snacks, etc.  Choreographers, you should be cleaning your dance ever chance you get.  Choreographers must be prepared to light their dances with their lighting sheet filled out before they go up to the lighting booth!  

We welcome parents to bring snacks and drinks during our long nights in the auditorium.  If one parent wants to be in charge of a sign up for this, that would be awesome.  We will also need help/volunteers for selling/taking tickets and selling concessions.  We welcome help when we are laying the floor (this Wednesday right after school) and when we are striking the stage next Friday night (taking up the floor/cleaning up) right after the show.  

All dancers must stay and be a part of all set up, clean up, and the productions process.  Putting on a concert (including students learning how to space and light their own dances) is part of the core curriculum for Dance Company.

Here is a proposed show order:

		HAIR	NOTES
	Pre-Show Flash Mob BTC
1	Curiosity
2	Social Dance
3	Shakespeare Trio
4	Dance 2: Apps
5	Ashlyn: 911
