Dance is a performance art so performing is a
large part of a dance student’s education. Dance students are marked on their
preparation as well as their skills demonstrated at these performances and at
the dress rehearsal. Students will have the opportunity to perform informally
in front of their peers and formally at assemblies, festivals and competitions.
Notices of reminder and permission forms will be sent home when these events
come closer.
The following performance and rehearsal dates are for shows at Frank
Hurt Theatre. These performances are integral to the dance program. Please make
note of these dates and help ensure that your child is in attendance. If there
are any conflicts please inform your child’s teacher immediately.
This semester the dance department will be
presenting two sets of shows. Our first show will be a workshop demonstration.
This is a low-key performance on Nov.5 at 3:30 – 4:30pm and
it is meant to share with family and friends. The purpose of this demonstration
is for the students to display what they have learned and to be introduced to
stage performance in a comfortable manner. This is not meant to be a polished
show. Costumes and lighting will be very basic and the performances will be
‘works in progress.’ Students must be available for a dress/technical rehearsal
on Nov.4 from 3-4pm.
Our second show is a formal performance with full
costumes and lighting. The dress rehearsal and elementary show will be held on December 4 from 12:30-2:48pm
and the show will be on December
10 at 6:30pm.
Please note these important dates in your
calendars and check the blog for updates:
