7:00 Spring Concert Start time, All Dancers

During the full dress rehearsal you will need to bring all of your costumes and dance shoes with your name in your costume, shoes and dance bags. Also those who are helping back stage and with classes we will need you there so you can see what costume and shoes they are to be in and how the show will run. No food will be allowed, we will have snacks for the little kids. No parents will be allowed in the theater during rehearsal times.

If you are in any of the dances scheduled for the Tech Rehearsal from 1:00-5:30 on Saturday, you need to be to the entire practice, we do not have a specific time slot for each dance so it is important you are there the whole time sitting in the theater seats.

It is important that each dancer is on time for their scheduled rehearsal time, allow yourself an extra 15 minutes before your rehearsal to warm up and stretch. Arrive 15 minute early in your dance clothes; you do not need to be in your costumes on Thursday and Friday. Saturday bring all your costumes with the dancers name in each one. All Tap shoes need to have black elastic sewn or glued in your tap shoe, No Ribbons.

The theatre has strict rules and it is very important for us to follow them. No food, candy or drinks allowed in the house, on stage or in the dressing rooms, you may eat in the annex or outside. Do not run through the theatre, dressing rooms or in the lobby during rehearsal. The theatre is a beautiful place and we are lucky to be able to hold our spring concert there, let’s show respect and not play around.

Each patron will need a ticket to get in as the seats are reserved seating. They can be purchased in the Ellen Eccles Box Office (your voucher is not your ticket to the show). The doors will open at 6:30 and the show will begin at 7:00. As you are waiting, you need to be respectful of the theatre and the staff. You will each have a ticket that has your seat number; the ushers will help you locate your seat. No Children under 2, No infants and No babes in arms are allowed.

We are giving the dancers a professional theatre experience, please be respectful and applaud for all dancers.

You all look so good: we can’t wait to put everything on the stage. You look Amazing! Thanks for your hard work this year; it really has been a great year. We have all loved working with you. Good Luck at the concert.

Performance company hair

This is the hair for Kaleidoscope, Impact and Propel. I am not the best at describing this hair style but you can look up the knitted braid or reverse pull through braid for a better tutorial and videos. We will be working our style from the base of the neck up to the top of the head. I have found that this style is easier to do if you practice going from the top of the head down and then reversing it.

You will need to take small section so we have a lot of bubbles. use elastic that match your hair color they don't completely hid when finished.

Start with a pony tail at the base of the neck

Make a second pony tail just above the first one

pull hair up for a third pony tail but don't elastic it off yet. Take the first pony tail you did and split it in half. You will take the halves on each side of the second pony tail and place in the third pony tail.

you will continue this pattern all the way up the head until you get to the forehead. You will need to be really close to the forehead. you will always have 2 pony tails.

Once you get to the forehead pull the hair out a little in each of the bubble to make the bubble look bigger. Now you will now be working with 2 pony tails. take the back one and split it in half take each half and wrap it around the front pony tail and elastic it off under neath the top pony tail. keep repeating till you get to the end of hair. then go back and pull each bubble out a little to make that bubble bigger here as well.

Now you will take the end and twist it back down the right side of the knit braid and bobby pin off. do not fold the hair over it will show that back of the elastics and not the braid you just made. tuck the end of the hair that you could not fit into a bubble up so it is hid under the braid. You will then need to add a lot of hair spray or gel to make sure there are no fly aways. Bobby pin down any fly aways that are in the braid its self.

It may seem confusing but try it a few times and it will become easier the more you do it. watch the videos they will be helpful to see how they do it.

Jazz Co Hair and Make up

You will start with making a bubble in the front of your hair, it needs to be big so it can be seen but not too big. Then make 3 pony tails down the middle of the head. This is were you will pull the hair back into 3 tight pony tails with no fly aways (use lots of Hair Spray)

This is what it should look like from the front

Next you will take the top pony tail and section off the hair into small pieces. Twist each hair and then let it loop around and bobby pin it to the head. Repeat this step until the top pony is all looped up and then move onto the middle pony and then the bottom pony. This will create a Faux hawk look. You will then need to spray it down and have your dancer shake her head to make sure everything is bobby pinned in.

The make up will need to be stage make up. You will need to wear base that cover the face and down the neck. You will need a brown eye shadow, black eye liner continue the bottom line out a little bit from the eye (kind of like a cat eye look) this will make the eyes look open and bright. Black mascara, blush and a red lip. Please email dance source@gmail.com if you have any questions. Ashlee and I will be there to help you.

Remember to have no jewelry, nail polish or toe nail polish we will have you take it off before you go out on the floor.

Your first performance is Tuesday February 23. Class will be held at the studio from 4-5:30. you will nee to be to sky view at 6:15 with your hair and makeup done and ready to go! You can come to class with it done or do it after.

Thanks
