Dance Studio 2015 20th-anniversary performance in early June! This
email contains some critical information related to that progress.
Please read on and feel free to contact me with any questions.
VENUE CHANGE
Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, this year we will perform at
Mission High School (on 18th between Dolores and Church) instead of
Everett. Though this change is unexpected, Mission High offers a
beautiful stage we think will perfectly showcase our dancers. Our
dress rehearsal and all of the performances will be at Mission High in
2015.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE AND DETAILS
This year we are dividing the classes into separate performance times
so that the show isn't too long for families to sit through. We
anticipate each performance to last about one hour and fifteen
minutes. We ask that all performers and audience member stay until the
end of the show to support and enjoy fellow dancers and the larger
community as well as take a company bow at the very end of the show.
This year we will NOT be selling snacks or drinks but we will have
flowers for sell as well as DVDs of each show.
Here's how the shows will break down:
All Sat. classes will be performing on Saturday, June 6th at 11:00 a.m. titled "Spotlight"
All weekday classes will be performing Sunday, June 7th at 4:00 p.m. titled "Center Stage"
All advanced dancers* will ALSO be performing on Saturday, June 6th at 4:00 p.m. titled "Encore"
*Advanced classes are as follows: Sat. 10:00-back studio class, Sat.
11:00-back studio class, Sat. 12:00 classes, Wed. 5:00 & 6:00 teens, and Thursday
5:00 young adults.
PARTICIPATION FEE DUE NOW
If you've ever been stuck in the long, long line waiting to be
admitted into the auditorium for the performance, you'll be excited to
hear that this year Steppin' Out will be introducing a new model of
funding to cover the cost of the beautiful theater and associated
performance costs. Instead of asking each audience member to buy a
ticket, we'll have a simple, modest performance "fee" per dancer that
will allow you to bring as many audience members as you'd like without
any tickets at all. The participation fee will be $25 fee per student
($10 second performing sibling, $5 third [or beyond] performing
sibling). That means all guests, family and friends get in FREE to the
performances--invite the entire family! Everyone gets in for free and
there will also be free parking in the Mission High parking lot (enter
on Dolores).The performance fee is per-student, so if you are
performing in more than one show you only pay one participation fee.
Participation fees were due on March 31st--if you have not yet paid
please do so as soon as possible. As always, if any charges present a
financial hardship, please see Angela.
DRESS REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
For the second year in a row, we are lucky to have the opportunity to
hold a dress rehearsal prior to the performance. The rehearsal will be
held on Saturday, May 30th at Mission High. Please note that there
will be no classes at the studio that day.
