This is a great opportunity for growth in both technique and performance skills. The audition does not mandate participation so come out if you and you dancer(s) are even just a little bit interested.

5-5:30pm........Parent Info Meeting (one parent/guardian for each auditioning dancer must be present, thanks)
5:30-6:30pm....Beg 1 & Beg 2 Audition

 

A heads up as well, Star Troupe II dancers will participate in a "JumpStart" to the year on Tues (30th), Wed (31st) and Thursday (1st) evenings for 1.5-2 hours. All other commitments will be discussed at the Parent Info Meeting.

It bears repeating!

We just wanted to say again.....Recital Weekend 2011 was fantastic! We presented our Dance Academy Showcase for the first year, used our largest prop to date, had some of the most beautiful and adorable numbers on the planet, and wore the most rockin costumes! Much love to all DASP dancers, you make our world and each of you did a fantastic job! ♥ Enjoy a little break and we will see you for summer classes! Email the studio to register/get more info.

Recital Week Reminders

The anticipation & excitement is building... our Dance Academy Showcase & Recital is this coming weekend!
 
In effort to help everyone, you will find in your email a document that should layout everything you need to know about this week's schedule (class, tech rehearsals, dress, rehearsals & show times) as simply as possible.
 
And some last reminders:
1. Please pick up and/or purchase tickets at the studio during the early part of the week, tech rehearsals, dress rehearsals or right before the shows.
2. Advance DVD purchase is recommended (cash or check only) and will be available after tech rehearsals or during dress rehearsals. Day of the show(s) purchases will be available as well.
3. Please come prepared with complete hair and make-up to your assigned dress rehearsal and show call time. This includes a slicked back bun (middle of the back of the head, no bangs, use gel!) for all classes except Tiny Tot I. Make-up should consist of foundation, blush, mascara, eye liner, lipstick (a natural red) and eyeshadow (dark brown, light brown & white right under the brow bone {colors will make your dancer look cross eyed under stage lights!}) Please no nail polish, stamps, jewelry and don't forget: no underwear under tights!
4. If you know you will need help with your dancer's hair bun or make-up please let Miss Ashley know during your tech rehearsal time and a meeting will be arranged prior to your dress rehearsal and/or the show.
 
We can not wait to have some amazing shows this weekend! Thank you in advance for all the time and dedication you show your dancers during this time!
 
Thanks,
The Dance Academy of Severna Park
