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.

It is a required graded assignment for students in Dance 1, 2, 3 and PDC to attend one university or professional level modern dance concert a semester and write a critique on it.  There are only a couple approved performances available, do not leave it until the last minute at the end of the semester!  This concert performance is approved to count towards the concert report assignment.

Through attending and viewing artistic concert dance, students are able to see professional dancers and professional choreography, thus enhancing their perception, understanding, and appreciation of dance.   Students see new possibilities for dance and what to aspire to when dancing, performing, and choreographing themselves.  There is so much that can be learned through watching a live performance.  This can also count as make up work.
