(How exciting!) HOWEVER, there may be some things your little dancer is still missing. What might these things be? There is a comprehensive list for students 3-5 and another for students aged 6 and up available on the website. Objects may include; nude undergarments, ballet shoes, tights, foundation, pencil eye liner, liquid eye liner, blush, eye shadow, and possibly more or other things! There will also be more specific make-up and hair details that will be included shortly (April). If you have any questions regarding the items on the list, or you have comments or concerns regarding costume pieces (such as tights, ballet shoes, or undergarments) please speak with me as soon as possible. We still have a few months before the performance, but better to have everything taken care of now! PLEASE NOTE: Costumes will NOT be sent home until AFTER the recital. Costumes need to be aired out, cleaned, steamed, and there is already a set of costumes needing alterations. Costumes should be in pristine condition for their debut performance. After which they may be worn until the glitter has fallen off, the head piece is long gone, and holes are starting to magically appear. I know it is tough to deny little ones their sparkly new costume, but I appreciate your cooperation. Thank you. Spotlight Dance Competition The WMDC would like to wish the best of luck to its competitive dancers; Kaylea Albright, Samantha Mitchell, and Arminda Yagi as they attend their first dance competition! Notification of the specific date and time will not be announced until 5-7 days before - as this is the normal timeframe for dance competitions to notify the companies in attendance of their performance time. To give ample time for preparation (and travel), classes will be CANCELED on Thursday (March 19th). Jazz and Contemporary are welcome to attend the Monday Jazz and Wednesday Contemporary respectively. Thursday's Creative Movement will be rescheduled for Tuesday 2:30-3:30. Thank you for your understanding. BREAK A LEG DANCERS! Convention March 7th is the deadline to confirm attendance to the Dance Palooza convention in Long Beach, CA. (I will be attending!!!!) If you have any questions regarding the convention please speak with me as soon as possible. Performance The facility request sheet for the Modoc Middle School gymnasium has been turned in. I have requested both the 19th and 20th of June. While these dates are tentative until I receive official word. I would like to state that the 19th will be a MANDATORY dress rehearsal. I am looking into a possible photographer for the performance. The dress rehearsal is where team photos and/or action shots will occur. I am also considering a videographer. (Lots of considerations, nothing set in stone.) If you know of someone who would be interested in this opportunity. Please pass their information on to me. Thank you. Spring Break The WMDC will be CLOSED for Spring Break (April 6th-10th). as I would like to have the opportunity to visit family in Oregon. However, I have decided to keep the schedule that I used over Christmas Break, and offer combined classes. The schedule for Spring Break classes is as follows; Monday: Pre-ballet 2:30-3:30, Jazz 3:454:45, Ballet 5:00-6:00 Tuesday: Creative Movement 2:30-3:30, Contemporary: 3:45-4:45, and Lyrical 5:006:00. Please note: If a student is taking any Jazz class at the WMDC they are welcome to attend the Monday Jazz; however, the jazz student is not cleared to attend the Monday ballet class and vice versa. These classes are designed to give the dancer an opportunity to keep moving and maintain technique.
