Just a few reminders...

Just a few reminders…

• Last Rehearsals… There is no dress rehearsal for the holiday show. Some classes may run their dances on the stage Saturday before the show begins. This makes it very important for all students to attend class Mon, Nov 28- Fri, Dec 2 as it will be their last rehearsal before we go to the stage. NOTE: We do have all regular classes on Monday, November 28 even though there is no school that day.

• Show information… The Holiday Benefit Show will begin promptly at 6pm at Saegertown High School. Doors to the auditorium will open at 5:30. Please do not enter before to save seats.

Announcements: Upcoming Events

1. Parent Watch Week is scheduled for Monday, Nov 7 through Friday, Nov 11. Parents/guardians are invited to come view classes throughout this week. We ask that only two visitors per dancer attend class in the interest of space and seating.

2. 2nd Annual Food Drive--> Our 2nd Annual Food Drive will take place from Monday, Nov. 7 through Tuesday, Nov. 22. We are collecting non-perishable items that will go to the Food Pantry at Center for Family Services. The food is then distributed to local food pantries throughout Crawford County to help those in need. For every two items donated, dancers will have their name entered into a drawing for clothing items, Nutcracker tickets and/or gift certificates to be used for dance classes. We hope you'll join our efforts to help those in need this holiday season.

3. We will be offering "spirit clothing" for order again this year. Order forms will be coming out later this week (Nov 7-11) and will be due back by Wed. Nov 30. Orders typically take about 2 weeks to be prepared, so this will allow us plenty of time to have them back before our break, in case they are intended for holiday gifts! Check out samples at the studio to see quality and sizing. See Miss Heather with any questions.

Holiday Show-- " ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas"

I am thrilled to announce that this year we will be holding our biennial Holiday Benefit Show. The show will tell the story ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This year’s show is scheduled to be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011, at 6pm at Saegertown Jr/Sr. High School. All students are invited to participate, however, each individual class will not be performing, as several classes will be combined. This show is designed so that all dancers will be able to perform in at least one dance. This cuts back the length of the show to approximately one hour in length, making it less formal, while still allowing each dancer the joy of an on-stage holiday performance.

Show Requirements: We do not order costumes for the Holiday Benefit Show. We do our best to design ‘costumes’ with items the dancers already have and/or items we purchase through the studio, loan to the students, and reuse in years to come. Costume requirements will be available no later than the first week of November. Additionally, there is no additional ’performance fee’ to participate. We do charge a small admittance fee to the show for audience members, which is then donated to a local charity. We intend to donate proceeds to the Make A Wish Foundation of Northwest Pennsylvania this year.

If your dancer(s) wishes to participate in the 2011 Holiday Benefit Show, here’s what you need to do: Fill out your Holiday Benefit Intent Form and mail or return it to the studio no later than October 28, 2011. We understand that the time around the holidays is a busy time for individuals and families, that is why it is important that you let us know whether or not your dancer will participate so we can plan accordingly for staging purposes. If your dancer cannot participate, he/she is still welcome to attend class as we will be learning new steps/sequences while rehearsing the dances.

CATS info

Hello Advanced Modern Students,

I'm including the link to the makeup center website for CATS. Please utilize what you need from this page. Also, know that we won't have grease paint-- halloween-type makeup will be available in limited colors and regular makeup will also be available. Feel free to supplement with your own stuff. You, as we talked about in class, can also feel free to adjust the style to fit you best-- meaning you don't have to follow the directions on the website to the fullest extent. Try some things out. Experiment. Find the look and style that works best for you!
