Studio 1 Auditions 2010

Auditions for our competing Teams/Companies will be coming up in the month of May. We would like to get this information out to all of you so that you can mark these dates on your calendars. They will be held May 20th-22nd. We would like to invite all of our beginning classes to audition. Everyone must attend the first two days of auditions in the age group which the dancer falls into. If you are invited, and you wish to be on an advanced company you will need to attend the third day. A call will be made by us to you the night of Friday after the audition to let those know that they have been invited back for the Saturday Audition. Below is the schedule of our entire auditions. Look over it carefully and feel free to ask us any questions that you might have. We are so excited for another year and know that it is going to be fabulous.

This next year we are also going to be creating teams that will be non-competing teams. These teams will perform at the benefit and yearend concerts, but will not compete at competitions to help reduce the expense of being on a team. Dancers who want to be on these teams will need to audition. If you have any other questions about these new teams please contact the office.

There is also an audition fee of $ 25 per dancer. The fee will be $20 if you pay before May 19th. There will be audition forms at the studio and we will even have them at our year end concert for you to sign up for auditions. Dance attire and proper shoes should be worn for the workshop as well as the audition. Our auditions are fun and casual so that everyone can have an enjoyable experience! A letter will be mailed a few days after auditions to let you know which team your dancer made.
Orientation meeting will be held on Saturday June 12th . An exact time of the orientation meeting will be on the letter that is sent out after auditions. A Legal guardian and the dancer must be in attendance at this meeting in order to be placed on the team! If you have any other questions please contact the office at 801-224-8738. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at auditions!

Team Pictures 2009

September 24th-25th

We are so excited for our upcoming team pictures. Darla Rozema will be doing our pictures again this year. She always does a fabulous job and you can check out her fabulous work at darlarozephotography.com. This year we have decided to do our pictures on location. We will be doing them at the Star Mill in American Fork. The address is 147 E. 600 N. The following directions are as if you were coming from the studio.
Head North on State Street for 6.2 miles
Slight left at E Main Street 486 ft.
Take the 2nd right onto 100 E. 0.8 miles
Turn right at 600 N. 302 ft.

Darla will be taking pictures of the entire team along with separate shots of each individual girl on that team. This will all be done within the given team picture time frame. We ask that everyone get to the location 15 minutes earlier then your scheduled team picture time. We are under a strict time frame due to the pictures being outside and having to work with the lighting of the sun. So please make sure that you come when we have asked you to. Darla is also going to be doing any family, friend, or outside group shots for anyone at our studio who is interested. We have several time slots for those pictures. If you are interested in a family picture please call the office to reserve one of the times. You will receive information from Darla at your dancer’s specific picture time, giving you details on pricing and how to proof and purchase these pictures. The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday September 23rd
5-7pm Family/Friend/Outside Group Picture Slots (Every 30 minutes)
Thursday September 24th
3-3:30pm Family/Friend/Outside Group Picture Slot
3:30-4:15pm Sr. Company
4:15-5:00pm Teen Company
5:00-5:30pm Mini Company
5:30-6:00pm Extreme Company
6:00-7:00pm Jr. Prep Company
Friday September 25th
3-3:30pm Family/Friend/Outside Group Picture Slot
3:30-4:15pm Jazz Company
4:15-5:00pm Jr. Jazz Company
5:00-5:45pm Junior Company
5:45-7:00pm Family/Friend/Outside Group Picture Slots (Every 30 minutes)
*Minis/Extreme/Jr. Prep will not have any class at the studio on Thursday September 24th. They just need to come to pictures and that is it.
**Sr. Company/Teen Company will not have ballet levels on Thursday September 24th, but will however have the rest of their scheduled classes that day.

What to Wear:
Since the pictures are going to be outside and we are doing them in the fall, we ask that every team wear street clothes in fall colors. This means deep browns, reds, plums, greens, yellows, oranges and blues. We do not want bright sunny colors, but more deep muted versions of these colors. You can wear anything from shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, jeans, shirts, sweaters, vests and jackets. Please be creative and don’t forget to accessorize with any hats, scarves, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, headbands, belts and socks. Any shoes may be worn we just ask that they are closed toe shoes, so no sandals or flip flops. Fingernail polish is allowed, but please make sure if you are going to wear it that it is in the appropriate color scheme.

Hair & Make-up
Hair may be done however you would like. We would like a variety so remember to be creative. We would like to see some down, curly, wavy, straight, half up or all the way up. Please take time to make your hair look nice for the picture.
Make-up needs to be worn by all teams no matter what the age. It doesn’t need to be as dramatic as stage/performance make-up, but still needs to be seen. All dancers need to be wearing powder, blush, earth tone eye shadows (neutral browns, or plums), eyeliner (maybe not the tiny little girls), mascara, and any soft pink lipstick. We then ask that a clear gloss be put over the soft pink lipstick. We want everyone to wear their own make-up and lipstick so that germs are not spread. These pictures need to look uniform and professional so please take time in getting ready so that you look your best for the picture.

Team pictures are very important to us at the studio. Again, please be sure to be on time at the location completely ready to go. If you have any questions concerning any of this please contact the office at 801-224-8738 and we will be happy to answer those for you. Thank you for all that you do!

Fall Registration

We are now registering for all of our fall classes. We offer many types of classes in all levels from ages 3-18. Classes include Combonation classes, Princess Ballet, Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz and Ballroom. Anyone is welcome to come try any class for free the first time. For a detailed schedule and information about the classes please contact our office at 801-224-8738. If you know that you want your dancer in a certain class or even if they just want to try it please call so that we can put your dancers name on the roster. We do only allow certain numbers of dancers in these classes and they can fill up, so we encourage you to put your dancers name on the roster even if they are just trying the class, so that if they do decide to do it they have a spot. These classes will begin the first week of September. We look forward to having you as a part of our Studio 1 family!

Optional L.A. Trip

We are so excited about the optional L.A. Trip that we are planning in October. L.A. is a great place to go to learn and experience teachers, choreographers, and dance side by side with the industries professionals. It will be a trip that will be very beneficial to the progression of your dancers training and education. We feel strongly that this will be a really good experience for those who choose to attend.
The trip is planned for Tuesday October 13th through Saturday October 17th. Part of the trip is over UEA break. The reason that we have decided to leave on Tuesday is because there are more classes offered in the first part of the week then there are at the end. We feel that if we are making the trip then we should get the most out of it. Natalie, Steviee, and Nicole will be the teachers that will be going on the trip. You as parents are welcome to come with your dancers if you would like too, but the three of us also feel confident in looking after your dancer as well.
We will be booking this trip through Destinations Travel Agency. The group rate that they have figured out for us is based on if ten people were to attend. That rate is $557 per person. This includes airfare, hotel rooms, transportation in L.A., and all taxes. Depending on the actual number that decide to attend, the price per person will vary from the estimated price.
Other expenses would include food and the price to take classes. Classes start at $13 a class, but they do have punch passes at discounts for those who wish to take many classes. The punch pass prices are as follows: 3 classes for $36, 5 classes for $58, or 10 classes for $110. We will be taking classes at two different studios while we are there. We are planning on dancers taking on average 3 classes a day.
We need to have a head count no later then Monday August 24th. Our travel agent needs to have first and last names of all who are attending. Please email us this information if this is something that you are wanting your dancer to do. Once we have an exact head count we can give you an exact price per person.
Once again we are super excited for this and hope that everyone can take the opportunity to attend.
