Company Picture & Rehearsal Day

 Saturday, February 26 at the studio

11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
 

The schedule is now available on our website and will be handed out with picture order forms next week. Please sign up on the wall in the lobby to provide food, help in the dressing room or help with clean up. All dancers must stay until clean up is complete at the end of the rehearsal. 

Saturday Class Changes

With picture days and competition weekends coming up, we will switch our Saturday schedule to Wednesdays. If you are unable to make the new day/time, please let us know so that we can get you registered for another class during the week. These changes go into effect on Wednesday, February 23 through the Spring recital.

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, Feb. 12 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? Add your name to the sign-up list on the front desk. Show up properly dressed (see above) and ready to dance at 1:30 on Feb. 12. All dancers who attend (properly dressed) will participate in our photo shoot. The best photos will be used.
Bun Forms & Accessories 
 
If you still need a bun form, please visit the front desk and let us know. If you need any additional accessories we have extras for you. Lashes (and glue, if you ordered it) will be distributed next week. Tights are distributed with costumes in mid-Feb.
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 competitions and performances for this season through Midwest Starz Nationals, June 16-19, 2011. Please remember this as you make non-dance plans for the spring.

Please check the company calendar today and sync it with your family calendar.

Reminders...

  • The DanceXchange is open on President's Day. We will not close for Spring Break this year. All dancers will be allowed one excused absence per class during Spring Break time. Dancers will begin to work on the recital finale during Spring Break weeks and will have a modified schedule (TBA).

  • Please inform us at least one week in advance if your dancer will be absent for any reason. Extra absence forms are available at the front desk. Dancers must be present in class the week prior to a performance or competition in order to participate.
  • Sick dancers should not come to the studio unless you are certain that they are not contagious. Absences due to sickness are not counted.
