Dance Showcase 2012!
-
It's that time of year to start getting ready for the annual dance showcase!
Held in the Anson Rooms, the performance dates are on February 16th (Thurs), 17th (Fri) and 18th (Sat) - during the 5th week of second term.
This is earlier than usual, which means we have to start preparing earlier to make sure we're on point for the show!
We're looking for as many people to be involved as possible!
We're also looking for someone/a couple of people to choreograph a 6 minute piece as well so if you can do that, that would be great!!
Also, ideas on a theme/different scenes, would be really handy as well!
Here's last years performance (1st night)
And 2nd night (same performance)
And finally, join this group if you are interested:

I'm in!
-
We should have a meeting to decide what we are doing for choreography etc.
Before training on Saturday? -
I haven't told the people in the lessons yet. But I was thinking, once we tell them (this Sunday?) and hopefully get a few of them onboard, we could use the routines that Izaak and Will taught them? So they would know what they are doing already, just need to clean it up and add maybe a few more sets in/harder sets for those that can.
-
Would be good to have a theme/ story, since that's what we've done for the last four years and it's worked out really well.
My vote's on Pirates vs Ninjas :-P (only half joking) -
We need a meeting to decide what we are doing. Everyone interested let's meet this Sunday (the 11th) straight after training at 4pm in the union.
-
People at the meeting yesterday sounded quite in favour of doing an "Enter the Dragon" themed show this year, what does everyone else think?
-
How about people who're interested in doing choreo come round to my flat some time this weekend and watch Enter the Dragon, then we can come up with some ideas. Are the committee all back from holidays now?
Also we should probably talk to Izaak since he did an oriental themed breaking showcase a few years ago. -
Showcase meeting at my place (since I can't hobble anywhere; 3 Alma Court on Alma Vale Rd) 5PM today. Gonna watch Enter the Dragon and come up with ideas. If you can make it come along, would be great to have as much input as possible!
Here's Izaak & Will's show from a few years ago (NO BITING, just to get an idea of what's possible with this kind of theme):
-
Rehearsals on Wednesday and Friday this week at training. Be there!

OK guys, next rehearsal will be tomorrow in the Anson Rooms 5-7PM. Main thing we need to focus on is choreographing for the Power Section and the End, but hopefully we'll also have time to practice the Beginners' section and 1on1s.
Hopefully see you all there.
Howdy, Stranger!
