Alice Wonderland Hair

I am so sorry that I am just posting this. I thought I would have someone that wore this style to dance and I could take a picture but no one has.

Is what you do is, part the hair right behind the ears and pull up the front 1/2 of their hair into a pony on the crown of their head. (so almost 1/2 is up and the back is down) Then curl all of their hair. Be sure to bobby pin their hair bows, crowns or whatever they were with their costumes. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks You!

Extra Practice

On Monday June 22nd we will be having an extra practice with everyone to put our Finale together. This always seems to take the longest and if we run through it a few times before dress rehearsal it helps so much! We will nee at the studio but have the girls wear shoes that they can wear outside, we will be walking next door to my moms house and practice in her yard. All of the competition girls will please be there from 6:00-7:00 and then Little Red Ridding Hood, Genies, Fantastic Voyage be there at 6:15-7:10. All other classes come from 6:30-7:20. I am staggering it so there won't be a traffic jam.

Thanks

Hair pictures for Little Red Ridding Hood and Genies

Hair for Little Red Ridding Hood (This is after dance so it straightened a little, make it curly)

 

Hair for Genies (but curled) She has a lot of hair so she did a double pony. This also works well if hair is short in the back. Their costumes needed a little taken off the legs so they will get them on Monday.

 

Recital 2015 Handbook

INTRODUCTION

    This handbook is your key to a smooth recital experience. It should be able to answer all of your questions, and inform you of what is required from all students and families.

 The recital will be a rewarding experience for all of our students. If this is your student’s first year at the Electric Youth Dance Company, we encourage the entire family to approach this milestone with support and enthusiasm. The benefits of performing in front of a live audience and participating in the artistic process of choreography, rehearsals, and teamwork are innumerous. Most important, each student is given the opportunity to be someone special someone who has worked with diligence, determination, and heart to achieve her goals.

    Performing on stage builds confidence and character; it gives one a sense of accomplishments and pride. These are qualities we want to see our children attain. The recital experience will help a child in other aspects of their personal lives at school, church, sports activities, and much more.

RECITAL FEE

    Your $35.00 per family (which means sisters and brothers,  not cousins) recital fee includes entrance fees for you, your family, and friends. This must be paid by June 22nd. All dancers who have not paid this before Dress Rehearsal will be unable to participate in the dance recital. This fee goes towards the rental of the auditorium, tech fee, Janitor fees, props, and decorations for our Dress Rehearsal and Recital. This way you can invite whomever you would like and they do not need to pay a fee to see you.

DRESS REHEARSAL (THURS. JUNE 25th) This year I am holding a closed Dress Rehearsal. We will be able to get more accomplished with no distractions. Plus it will be a surprise for all parents.

    The Dress Rehearsal is held at Ogden High School. All classes will have stage time in which they will practice their routine with full costume, performance lights and music. Parents, if you will please just bring the kids into the Auditorium I have 3 girls per class to help me with the Rehearsal and Recital night. I will have signs on the isles for each class to know where to sit. If you are late there is a possibility that they will miss their time on the stage.

If you are in the following classes you will be there from 3:55-6:00.

Fairies – Monday 12:15 class

Minnie Mouse – Monday 1:00 class

Princess – Thurs. 11:00 class (used to be the 4:15 class)

Genies – Monday 11:00 class (used to be the 5:15 class)

Red Ridding Hood – Monday 10:00 class (used to be the 4:15 class

Fantastic Voyage – Monday 8:15 class

All of the other classes have to be there at 4:50 sharp!

We will be practicing the Finale at 4:50 with everyone.

Those that are in tumbling will stay until 6:10.

Boys Hip Hop will be there at 4:50-6:20

All Competition Teams will be there from 4:50-8:00.

NO FOOD IS ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM!

When you arrive at the School, come into the auditorium and sit with your class. (Parents will leave you there) I need everyone to stay in the auditorium!!

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOS

    I have hired a professional video-ographer to video our recital. This is a professional quality keepsake that your family will enjoy for years! We will use two professional video cameras to film the recital. The cost for the DVD is $28.00. You will be able to order your copy at the rehearsal or email me. This will need to be paid for by the Rehearsal. I have a couple of people that did not pick up their video from last year. I have them so please come and get it from me. Thanks!

MAKE-UP

    Make-up should be worn to performance and dress rehearsal. Eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, lip liner and lipstick should be natural tones. Cheeks and lips should be reds or dark pinks. All classes do pinks except “Red Ridding Hood” Competition teams should wear your competition make-up. Make-up should look natural, not heavy. If your performer does not have enough make-up on she will look washed out on stage. We want their beautiful features to be seen from a distance.

HAIR - (I will describe what Alice Wonderland hair at end)

• Fairies – Alice Wonderland
• Minnie Mouse – (picture is posted at the bottom) French Braid front of hair from the right ear to the left ear. Back of hair curly. Be sure to bobby pin the bead bands on as shown in picture. If you need help with the french braid, we will be having a practice the morning of the Recital from 10:00-11:00 a.m. Shae or I can do it for you.
• Princesses – Alice Wonderland (picture at bottom)
• Genies – Pull all of the hair into a high back pony and curl the hair. Rollers work best and the curl stay in longer. Be sure to bobby pin the head bands in. We may have an extra practice the morning of the Recital. I will let you know on Monday.
• Red Ridding Hood - Pull all of the hair into a high back pony and curl the hair. Rollers work best and the curl stay in longer
• Fantastic Voyage – We will talk about it on Monday.
• Tumbling – If you are in another dance just wear your hair the same. If this is your only dance just pull it up into a pony.
• All Competition Teams will do the same as we did for competitions.

RECITAL MON. JUNE 29th

    The performance will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. All students must arrive and meet in the side hallway at 6:00 p.m. sharp!!

Students should use the restroom before their parents drop them off, I will have helpers back stage so moms do not have to stay backstage.

We will warm up and then get lined up for our show to begin. After each class has performed the volunteer in charge of each class will take the girls back and start lining them up for the Finale. After the Finale, I will have all of the little ones stay on the stage and parents can pick them up.

The doors will not open until 6:00 p.m. We then ask that you do NOT reserve more than five seats per dancer. All reserved seats should be let go five minutes before the recital. 

UNPAID TUITION

    All tuition, recital fees, and costume balances need to be paid on or before June 21^st. If your account is not current your daughter will be unable to participate in our Dance Recital.

This handbook is your key to a smooth recital experience. It should be able to answer all of your questions, and inform you of what is required from all students and families. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Michele
