SHOW TICKETS

Tickets for our 2010 dance production will go on sale starting March 1. Show tickets are regularly $15 a ticket and $20 at the door, however, there are a few “early bird” discount options. Dynamix will be holding a pre-sale on dance production tickets from Monday, March 1 through Thursday, March 4 only. During this time, tickets may be ordered at only $10 a ticket, ½ of what will be charged at the door. For your convenience, there will be extended office hours M-TH from 5-8PM this week only. From March 5^th through the 15^th, ticket prices will be $13 & after March 16, the price will be $15 until showtime. Being at a nicer, yet smaller venue, this year we WILL sell out, so get your tickets early & save. Tickets are general admission and there is no minimum or maximum ticket purchase needed per student. Because we will sell out, this year we are opening our dress rehearsal to the public at only $5 per ticket. Students may bring 1 parent/guardian to the dress rehearsal free of charge, but siblings, friends, grandparents, etc. will be expected to pay the $5 ticket price for that day. We will only sell 100 “house” seats for the dress rehearsal day. Children under 3 are free for both rehearsal & show nights.

REHEARSALS &

SHOW TIMES/VENUE

Our annual dance production will be at Cedar Crest College on June 11 & 12. Show times will be at 6:30PM both evenings, and a Saturday matinee @ 12:30PM. Stage/Tech Rehearsals will take place on June 7&8 (times TBA), and our dress rehearsal will be Wednesday, June 9 at 4:30PM promptly. All performers are required to be at all rehearsals. On performance days, performers need to show up at least 45 minutes prior to curtain. More information will distributed closer to show time.

TIGHTS & SHOES

Every performance has different costumes which require specific tights & shoes/shoe colors. This year, for your convenience, you may place an order with Dynamix and we will take care of the rest. You are more than welcome to purchase the items outside of Dynamix, however, some stores do not carry specific brand names and/or colors. You will be required to buy the same, not generic, as the rest of the class so performers look alike. You can find an exact breakdown of tights and shoes/shoe colors and what is needed for each class at the studio mid-March.

T-SHIRT ORDERS

Orders for 2010 recital T-shirts will be on sale starting March 1. This year, our theme is colors, so instead of our basic black tee, Dynamix is brightening it up.

PICTURE WEEK:

MAY 24 - 28

Our picture week is scheduled for Monday, May 24 through Friday, May 28. Times TBA, however, we try to make the schedule around their regular class times, give or take an hour (Saturday classes will be on Wed, May 26). During this week, students will come dressed in their costumes with hair and make-up already done. Christmas City Portrait Studios will take individual pictures first (every student will take an individual even if not purchasing), followed by a group picture that will be featured in our slide show at the dance production. After pictures are taken, students will have an “in-class” dress rehearsal where they will run their routine 1 or 2 times. Students may leave after their run-though if not in any other classes. There will be no regular classes this week.

MEN’S DANCE!!

Once again, we will be putting together another memorable Men’s Dance routine this year at our dance production. Yes, kids, this is your time to get even with DAD, or Grandpa, or hubby/boyfriend, etc.!! We will have our first official meeting on Friday, March 19 at 7:00PM. This is CLOSED to the public, because, we always try to keep it a secret until show-time. Don’t worry, men, all rehearsals will be closed as well. For more info, ask Dana. Don’t forget your tights!! Just kidding!

bit and going TYE-DYE!! The shirts come with the Dynamix logo/dance production theme on the front left, with each performers name featured on the back. This is a great keepsake for students to look back years from now and remember their time on stage. The cost is $25.

MAKE-UP DAYS

Any make-up classes from snow/teacher cancellations will be made up closer to show time, most likely on a weekend. Make-ups are just like regular classes and students are expected to be there. If you have any known conflicts, please let your instructor know ASAP before it gets scheduled. Students having perfect attendance need to be at their make-ups to qualify for the award presented on stage.

ATTENDANCE

Its official, the last quarter of our dance year is here and the dance production is creeping up fast!! Students’ attendance is VITAL in class from now on. Choreography will be taught on a weekly basis and even missing one week can mean falling behind. Attendance is mandatory. Obviously, illness can occur, however, students are still expected to come and watch, if they are not contagious. Because dance & gymnastics work as a TEAM, if a student’s attendance is not the greatest, they may be taken out of certain pieces of choreography so it doesn’t hurt the rest of the class.
