Recital Info

LEGACY DANCE STUDIO 2012 PRESENTS


“SEA OF DREAMS”



Rehearsal 2 – June 8th, Tennessee Performing Arts Center – Jackson Theatre – Arrive at 1:00 pm – Rehearsal Begins promptly at 2:00 pm

****The country music “fan fare” will be in town this weekend. Please try to arrive as early as possible and expect traffic to be terrible. Allow yourself extra time.********

NOTE: DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AT TPAC, PLEASE ENTER THE UNION STREET STAGE DOOR ENTRANCE FOR FRIDAY REHEARSALS AND STARUDAYS SHOW. Both ends of the sidewalk tunnel will be open for accessing the stage door entrance. Please enter the tunnel at 5th Ave. or 6th Ave. You won’t be able to enter the tunnel in the middle of the UNION STREET block.

1. Rehearsal 2 is mandatory for everyone. This is such a wonderful day of fun and friendships with teammates. Bring your cameras!

2. Bring your coolers (on wheels would be helpful for you) and a blanket. Please bring non-colored drinks such as sprites and waters. Please bring plenty of snacks and your dinner. There are a few restaurants close to TPAC but there really isn’t a lot of time to go eat and get back. Our shows move fast and we stay on time. Plus EVERYONE needs to be present for the awards ceremony.

3. Rehearsal 2 is in black dance clothing again. Please arrive with your hair and makeup ready for your first dance. This will save you time later for our dress rehearsal.

4. The non-dress rehearsal begins at 2:00 pm. We will not wait on anyone. Not trying to be mean, but we have a strict time schedule that we must stay on. We will not take our intermission during this rehearsal.

5. The TPAC production staff will be working with Shawn on lighting during this rehearsal. Please do not judge the lighting or complain about it during this rehearsal. Some moments may be dark during this rehearsal but will not be on the night of the show. They will be changing the lights trying to figure out what works best, so the night of the show will be perfect. Thanks for your understanding.

6. We will have a quick awards ceremony at 5:00 pm.

7. We will take our dinner break 5:15 – 6:00 pm. Take this time to dress in your 1st costume.

8. The full dress rehearsal will begin at 6:00 pm.

9. Please make sure students wear their Legacy Jackets or a cover up if they leave the dressing room in their costume. Students are encouraged to watch the rehearsals in the audience in their costumes with a coverup.

10. We will try not to stop the full dress rehearsal unless it is completely necessary.

11. We will rehearse finale during this rehearsal.

12. Each class will be assigned a team leader. Your team leader will be responsible for meeting you in your dressing room 6 numbers before you dance. Parents, please be sure to have your children in their dressing room ready to perform 6 numbers before their dance. This is very important to keep our show flowing. This will also ease everyone’s stress of “where do I need to be and when do I need to be there”. The team leader will take all the students to the stage and the parents can go sit and enjoy the show. The team leader will then take the students back to their dressing room to meet their parents after they dance.

13. The most important rule of this day is to relax and enjoy this day with your child. These memories will last a lifetime.

ThunderBoltz Turning Age 9

ThunderBoltz turning age 9 before January 2013, please attend the 9-11 year old summer work shops.  Thank you! 

Thank You!

Thanks to you all that came to class on Monday night. We am so sorry we had to schedule a rehearsal on a holiday but at least we have the finale behind us and are ready for the recital!


Some of you had questions on your June statement. We are having full rehearsals in June and everyone is expected to attend these rehearsals. We billed everyone $105 for June which includes all June rehearsals and all summer classes for June. If you are not interested in taking the summer classes and have no intentions of trying out for team, please let us know and we will adjust your June charge to be that of your normal monthly bill.

We are so excited for our rehearsals and recital. We can't wait for everyone to see how amazing you all are!
Thanks so much!

Dance on Monday

We will have class on Monday and line rehearsal from 6-7 for BombShells, Thunderboltz and SpitFires. We will be learning finale also. Thanks!

Gearing up for Recital

We couldn't be more proud of all of our teams this year. Everyone of you have worked hard and have come so far. The performance levels have gone above and beyond my expectations for just our 3rd year together. You all have amazed me. Thank you so much for your dedication to me and to each other this year. It's been a wonderful competition experience this year.


We have our first rehearsal at Nolensville Elementary on Wednesday, May 30 at 5:30 pm. Please arrive a little early if you can. I want you guys to be professional all the way from rehearsal 1 to the finale on recital night. Please wear you black dance attire and have your hair up in a nice bun or faux hauk. Let's look very professional all the way through. Last year we had alot of hair pieces and costumes flying across the stage. We do not need that this year. Use zip ties or whatever it takes to keep your accessories on your body. I know some of you have quick changes but recruit help or whatever it takes to make sure everything about your costumes are secure.

Let's take recital seriously but have a wonderful time. The non-company students will look to you for how to perform and I expect you to show them in every dance that you are rehearsing. No marking anything in these rehearsals. Everything is to be full out. You never know who is in the audience watching you.

It is very important for you to watch all dances and to clap and cheer on everyone. I do expect alot from you all because I believe in you and you are the most wonderful students and caring parents. You have set the bar high. Thank you all!

Our show is dedicated to our 2012 graduates. We love you all very much!

Help Request

Mr. Kenny is having dental surgery on Wednesday, May 30th and will not be able to move props on and off the gymnasium floor at our Nolensville Rehearsal.  We will need about 4-5 Dads to stay the entire rehearsal and help unload and reload the truck and unload again at the studio.  Thanks to Mr. Jerry Rust for providing the big truck to haul our props to the gymnasium.  Thank you all for all you do for the studio and for your children.

Help Needed on Friday to load the Big Truck

Any Dads that can come on Friday around 6:30 pm to load the truck would be helpful.  If the Dancing Dads could come 30 minutes before your choreography session that would be great!  We will also need prop help this weekend.   Thanks so much for everything you all are constantly doing to help us out!

ShowStoppers

I spoke with ShowStoppers and we can dance Aye Caramba right after the 3:00 pm awards.  Please arrive at 1:00 pm with hair and makeup ready for Aye Caramba.  If you are in Hot Note, you will perform Hot Note at the normal scheduled time and Hot Note goes on before the 3:00 pm awards at 2:30, so we will want to make sure we are all ready in the Aye Caramba costume right after the 3:00 pm awards.  So Hot Notes change into Aye Caramba right after dancing Hot Note and before going on stage for the Hot Notes awards.  Thanks!

Volunteers Needed

We are having our Nolensville rehearsal on Wednesday, May 30 starting around 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm. We have 3 trucks in our family but would like to see if there are any other volunteers with trucks that could help us haul all of our props for recital to the Nolensville Elementary School for the rehearsal and then take them back to the studio after rehearsals around 9 pm. We would like to save money by not renting the big truck since we are only traveling a few miles down the road. Please email us if you can commit your truck and muscles! Thanks for all you guys do!

Little Grease Boots - upDATE

Target has already ran out of some of the sizes in the black. If they are out of your size, Order the brown and we will paint them black or polish them black and add our black shoe strings. I can't find them this cheap any where else.


Here is a website link to what the boots need to look like:

http://www.buy.com/prod/sweet-beauty-terra-01-women-s-mid-calf-combat-boot/223635712.html

I know they do have enough sizes at this site, but there are other sites and the style may vary a bit, but DO NOT ORDER THE ONES THAT HAVE THE FOLD DOWN FLAP in the next link below
**********DO NOT ORDER THE ONES THAT LOOK LIKE THIS: no no no
http://www.amazon.com/Neway-Womens-legend-03-Combat-Beston/dp/B007GGOX2W/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_10
******** no no no




Here are other possible sites that is very close but a little more expensive:
http://www.amazon.com/Madden-Girl-Womens-Zorrba-Boot/dp/B004BDHOZG
and another site:
http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Beauty-terra-01-Womens-combat/dp/B005EEJTAO/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_2
This site has size 6 and 6.5
http://www.amazon.com/Military-Inspired-Lace-Plaid-Black/dp/B00787MXLC/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_1
these are close: Maybe we could cut off the buckle?
http://www.amazon.com/Military-Inspired-Combat-Lace-Black/dp/B007O1PO90/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_4


Baby BombShells and ThunderBoltz that wear small sizes. Here is a link. We will remove the pink shoelaces and replace them with black. Remember to order the black boot.

thanks!

Parents, Are you READY???!!

We are bringing back the 70's for "Sea of Dreams" with your help.  We would like to get at least 5 sets of couples to do one part and then there are several different parts where we will need single dancers as well.  We will be bringing dancers on and off and you will not have to learn as much.  It should be fun and very entertaining!  Our music was $100 to have mixed, so if you could pay $5 to help cover that, that would be great.  We need as many as possible, couples and non-couples.  There will also be Afros and funky 70's clothing involved!  We will plan on starting next Friday night, May 11th at 7:00 pm.  Hope everyone will participate and we need as many Dads as possible!
