WEEK OF DECEMBER 2ND – DECEMBER 5TH: IN-CLASS DRESS REHEARSAL Please wear all of your costume pieces to class. This includes tights, shoes, hair accessories and costume pieces so that we can be aware of

who is still in need of their costume and you can be aware of any last-minute purchases that need to be made! (Sparklers, Starlites, Rising Stars, Starmakers & Elite do not need to wear their jazz/kick costumes.)

Jazz classes do NOT need to wear their costumes to class as they are using rentals for the winter show.

Capture the big day with a professional DVD of your dancer’s show. Filming and DVD’s are produced by Stephanie Bohn. See the enclosed order form for more

details!

WINTER SHOW REHEARSALS: JAZZ PRODUCTION PRACTICE – SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24th • JFK Studio Show 1 & Show 2 – 11:15-12:30pm | Show 3 & Show 4 – 12:45-2:00pm ALL Jazz classes (K-12th grade) will be in the opening number of our Winter Shows! New this year, most classes will be in only 2 of the 4 shows so that it is less of a commitment for families on show day (Starlites, Rising Stars, Starmakers & Elite will perform in all 4 opening numbers at the show and should attend both rehearsal times on the 24th). Coordinating multiple classes all into 1 dance takes much planning and coordination. To ensure this number will be a success, we will be holding a Sunday practice to rehearse the transitions between each class. This will be the only practice we have to put all the jazz classes together before the show, so this is a VERY IMPORTANT practice to attend! We will do a quick rehearsal on December 8th to learn floor spacing, but this Sunday practice will be the most in depth and important to attend.

GYM REHEARSAL – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8th • See times below – Mississippi Heights Elementary School We will be having a rehearsal in the GYM to put together our show FINALES and opening productions to practice our entrances and exits on the gym floor. We rent out the gym space for this rehearsal, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you make every effort to attend. All dancers who are in a KICK class and who are in Kindergarten or older will be in the finale of the show and should attend the finale practice for the show that their KICK class is in! 12:00-12:40pm – Show 1 (10:00am show) Finale Practice 12:45-1:35pm – Show 1&2 Jazz Production Rehearsal 1:40-2:15pm – Show 2 (12:30pm show) Finale Practice 2:20-2:55 – Show 3 (3:00pm show) Finale Practice 3:00-3:50pm – Show 3&4 Jazz Production Practice 3:55-4:30pm – Show 4 (5:30pm show) Finale Practice *Finale note: Dancers in Kindergarten through 12th grade will learn the finale dance in their kick class. Dancers in Hip Hop, Tap, or Ballet/Lyrical who are not in a kick class and wish to be in the finale can attend the finale practice for the show that their class is in (times listed above) and learn their part online via a video prior to the gym rehearsal.

MEETING LOCATIONS ON SHOW DAY

QUICK CHANGES • Be organized - Using a clear tub/bin allows you to find items easier. • Label everything, including shoes and hair accessories. • Have all needed supplies: Gel, bobby pins, safety pins, hair binders, hair net, bun form, make up, hair spray, extra tights, etc) • Have a plan for how child will change without help. Practice it at home. Dancers 3rd grade and younger who are in multiple dances should have a large Ziploc bag, labeled with their child’s name, that has the contents of their additional costumes. This will help staff/volunteers help them quickly if need be. • Have an order of performance, with your dances highlighted, hung in your space of the meeting area or on the inside cover of your dance bin. • There will be a curtain changing area in the back gym for dancers with quick changes (1-2 songs between dances). Have a friend ready to help you as you run off the floor. • Come with makeup and hair done.

Speed is important. Dancers should not hold up the show!

PARKING With a large number of families arriving at the same time, parking can get crazy. Plan ahead. All dancers and spectators will enter through Door 6 on the West side of the high school.

ADMISSION Remember to have your pre-sale tickets available to give to the door monitors. Pre-Sale ticket holders, DO NOT wait in the admission line, go directly to the doors. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $9.00 for students on the day of the show.

SEATING We anticipate a full crowd at each show but we plan for there to be enough seats for everyone. Our routines are choreographed to be viewed from above, so every seat in the gym is a good one. We ask that the floor seats are reserved for parents of our preschool dancers (2-5yr olds) and families that have a member unable to walk up the bleachers.

DURING THE SHOW Once the show has begun, please refrain from moving while a team is performing. If you must leave your seat, please do so in between performances.

Applause is welcome. When you see something you like while the team is performing, let them know. A dance performance is an interactive experience.

AFTER THE SHOW Our last number will be the finale which encompasses all classes K-12th. Our staff will lead K-3rd graders back to the Auxiliary gym to be picked up. Dancers 4th grade and up may remain in the gym to be greeted by their family, take pictures, etc.

BETWEEN SHOWS We will be clearing the gym after each show. If you are

attending multiple shows, please make sure to exit the gym and re-enter with the next show’s ticket. Seats will not be allowed to be saved with blankets or jackets. Thank you for your cooperation.

Reminder that all spectators will need a

separate ticket for each show they plan to watch.
