Flash Mob - May 17th

Flash Mob

Please help us celebrate National Dance week on May 17th by participating in our second annual flash mob.  Rehearsals will be from 9:00 until 11:00. Perform at Secret Location at 12:00 p.m. (It's a great secret location!) Free and open to the public.  All ages invited to attend.

To celebrate how dance is part of life, and how it can be part of every person, the National Dance Week Foundation encourages every city and town in the U.S. to “get up and dance!” And how better to engage the public than to stage a NDW-themed dance mob.

You know what a dance mob is – the great videos you see on TV or on YouTube, where in the middle of a run-of-the-mill public place, like a shopping mall or a train station, a few people break out in dance… then a few more join in… then more. And coincidentally, they all know the choreography! Of course it isn’t coincidence, but it definitely is totally cool and is a real attention grabber. And anybody can do it.

Ad Sales

Program Books for Revue

Programs will be given to all patrons.  Proceeds from the ad sales will go towards new floors and mirrors for the dance studio.  There are incentives for the top sellers.  Stipulations will apply based on number of ads sold in total.

Programs will be printed in black and white.  Please ask for a business card or complete ad setup.  Layouts or artwork can be emailed to rudncr@gmail.com.  Please keep in mind that colorful backgrounds will not print very clearly in black and white. All ads must be turned in by April 24.

Revue Notes

Revue Notes

Please keep in mind that the revue will be held June 6 & 7 with dress rehearsal on June 5.  There will be rehearsals scheduled every day that week.

Don’t forget to purchase your items needed for the revue:

•              Ballet classes: Pink ballet shoes with elastics sewn, ballet pink tights, nude leotard (recommended for students 8 and up).  Nude leotards help with quick changes.

•              Jazz/Hip Hop: Black jazz sneakers, suntan tights, nude leotard (recommended for students 8 and up).  Nude leotards help with quick changes.

•              Lyrical: Lyrical shoes, suntan convertible tights.  Nude leotard required.

•              Tap: Black tap shoes (see website), suntan tights, nude leotards leotard (recommended for students 8 and up).  Nude leotards help with quick changes.

IMPORTANT: This year no parents will be allowed backstage during the revue.  Space is very limited so we are requesting 3 parents to volunteer to help back stage with each dance class.  The South Hill Junior Women’s Club will be volunteering at the event so there will be plenty of help.  Each volunteer parent will be responsible for up 5 five children.  This includes final dressing, hair and makeup retouches, lining up, bathroom trips, keeping students quiet, and ensuring the class as a whole is ready.  A signup sheet will be posted in May.

One pass to enter the revue will be given per dancer.  Backstage volunteers can view dances from the green room television.  Students under the age of 5 can leave after their dance is complete (and hopefully watch the revue) IF they do not wish to be at the curtain call finale.  The recital starts at 7:00 and will probably last about 2 hours so we know this makes for late nights.  Please keep all of this in mind when preparing and planning.

A revue guide will be sent home in May with helpful tips and reminders.  A bun making session will also be held in May.
