We want you to be the face of the DanceXchange!Camera
We are creating new photos to represent our studio online and on our studio walls. All company dancers are invited to a photo session:
Saturday, Nov. 13 from 1:30-3:00 p.m.


Please wear a black leotard and pink tights, bring all of your dance shoes and wear your hair in a very clean bun. You may also bring black booty shorts and/or a black ballet skirt. We will be staging photos to maximize the beauty of our dancers' talent. Select images created at our photo shoot will be used to enhance our website and featured around our studio.

Do you want to participate? Just show up ready to dance at 1:30 on Nov. 13. All dancers who attend (properly dressed) will participate in our photo shoot. The best photos will be used.

Competition Make Up
 
We will purchase all of our competition make up through Yofi Cosmetics (www.yoficosmetics.com). All of Yofi's make up comes with an ingredient list and is gluten free and latex free (with the exception of the eye lash glue which is contains latex).

If you were not present at our Parent Meeting on Oct. 9 please make sure to pick up a Make Up and Accessory order form in the lobby. Forms must be received by November 1. Payment is due by Jan. 10.

If you have a gently used warm-up suit that you are interested in selling, please bring it to the studio. We will hang your used warm-up suit in the lobby. Grab an envelope at the front desk and write your name, phone number and the price you would like for your jacket and pants.
Competition/Performance
 Reminder
Company dancers are committed to the entire weekend for all scheduled competitions and performances. Please do not schedule any additional commitments for your dancer until you are certain of the exact schedule. Schedules will be emailed and available in the lobby one week prior to each competition. Recital, rehearsal and picture schedules are available approximately one month prior to the event.
 
If your dancer has a conflict that arises between now and the competition/performance date it is expected that she/he attend the competition/performance. Your dancer has committed to all events, performances and competitions for this season through Midwest Starz Nationals, June 16-19, 2011. Please remember this as you make non-dance plans for the spring.
