Showcase 2012 – Solo/Duet/Extra Groups

Tickets $3.00
Doors @ 2:00 pm Show @ 2:30 pm
Showcase 2012 features all solos, duets and extra groups (does not include regular dance classes). This show is a valuable event as it gives dancers an opportunity to perform in front of a live audience before competitions. We will not have a professional videographer coming to record the show, so please bring your own video cameras if you would like to keep a copy of this event. We just ask that you be respectful of those around you if you are recording. Tickets for Showcase are $3.00 and will be available at the studio starting February 13th. They will be available at the door as well.
The group routines will rehearse prior to the show. The schedule is;
Graffiti – 12:00 – 12:30pm
Rainbow Connection – 12:30-1:00pm
Rehearsal for Duos - 1:00 - 1:30pm
Day Dreamers – 1:30 - 2:00pm
A show order will be posted on the bulletin board in the front lobby. The show order can be found at the bottom of this newsletter as an attachment and is also found under schedules on the website www.stepbystepdance.ca. If you are interested in volunteering please sign up on the sign up sheet in the front lobby, speak to Eve at the desk or email info@stepbystepdance.ca.
