Dress Rehearsals- Friday the 9th December and Saturday the 10th of December

Dress rehearsals prepare students in confidence, entry, exits, stage dimensions and other important features of Performance. They are an important and exciting lead up to our Concert. We please ask that you arrive at the theatre dressed and ready to dance to ensure all students have plenty of time on stage to feel prepared for the big day! Dress Rehearsals are held at the Civic Theatre (cnr of Lords Place and Byng Streets) Please enter and exit the building using the back stage door via the car park to the rear of the building on Lords Place. Parents of students 6 years and under may accompany children and wait in the Green room (option to leave also), but it is theatre regulations that no one other than performers may enter the building. We will have a staff member at the back stage door to mark off names and direct students. Please note: All rehearsals in the lead up to Concert are CLOSED to observers and this is a condition stipulated by Theatre Management. Entry for performers for both Dress Rehearsal and Concert is strictly via Back stage door. A separate note explaining Concert Day Organisation will be given to students throughout wk 9. Our Dress Rehearsals are complete stage, audio and technical rehearsals. HAIR, MAKE UP & COSTUMING IS REQUIRED for lighting and staging purposes as well as photography. Thank you for your co-operation. We really appreciate your efforts in ensuring your children; our star performers look their absolute best for the rehearsals and show. Please pack a drink bottle and quick snack (if you are at the theatre for an extended period). Make sure you double check at the end of the rehearsal if you have collected your costumes and any accessories. It is very hard to keep track of lost property between rehearsals and concert. We have had panicked phone calls concert morning in the past from parents and students looking for items left behind at rehearsals Hair and Make up notes will be handed out in week 7 Please see over for dress rehearsal times DRESS REHEARSAL TIMETABLE Friday the 9th December- Civic Theatre 4pm- 5pm • Senior Contemp (Wed 5:45 class) • Adv Jazz (Wed 5:45pm class) • Junior Tap (Mon 4pm class) • Grade 2 Ballet (Tuesday 4:45pm class) 5pm- 6pm • Inter Contemporary (Monday 5:30pm class) • Senior Jazz (Wednesday 4:45pm class) • Adv Contemporary (Wed 4:45pm class) 6pm- 7pm • Senior Ballet/ Inter Ballet and Pointe (Tuesday 6:15pm class) • Cheer Skills class (Thursday 4pm class) • Senior Tap (Wednesday 4pm class) 7pm- 7:30pm • Thursday Performance teams (Sparks, Onyx and Sapphires) • Pre- Senior Tap (Monday 7pm class) Saturday the 10th December- Civic Theatre 9:30am- 10:30am • Angelinas- Ducklings (Sat 9:30pm Class) • 10 years under Tap (Tuesday 6:15pm class) • Junior Contemporary (Mon 5:30pm Class) • Angelinas- (Wednesday 10am class) 10:30am- 11:30am • Angelinas- (Sat 10:15am Classes) • 6 years Jazz (Monday 4:45pm class and Sat 11am classes) • 8 years Jazz (Monday 4:45pm class) 11:30pm- 12:30pm • Angelinas- (Thursday 10am class) • Angelinas- (Thursday 10:45am classes) • 10 years jazz (Monday 6:15pm and Wednesday 4pm classes) 12:30pm- 1:30pm • Angelinas- (Mon 10am classes) • Primary Ballet- (Tuesday 4pm class) • Grade 4 Ballet x 2 (Tuesday 5:30pm class) 1:30pm- 2:30pm • 12 years Jazz/ Hip Hop (Monday 6:15pm class) • Boys HH- (Tuesday 4:45pm class)

Exciting News !!!

Great news everyone! After almost 12 months in the making, the last pieces have just fallen into place and we finally ready to make the announcement!!! 2016 will see Stepping Out Dance Factory (Orange) introduce Cheer to our already extensive curriculum. This will be a trial program for 2016 and if successful will become available in multiple age levels!! In May of 2015 Miss Leesa, Miss Steph and Miss Dimity completed their cheer qualifications in Sydney with Australian Allstars. We are also excited to announce that in an effort to continue to deliver technical proficient training we have entered into a joint venture with Central West Gymnastics to enhance our Cheer program. To kick off our program we have engaged 3 cheer experts from Adelaide to travel down for a workshop to be held on Friday the 22nd January. Our vision for Cheer is to establish a team that will compete at National level in 2017!! This is an ambitious vision, however if successful our students will be able to perform in front of an audience of around 5000 people!!!! We see this as another amazing opportunity for our dancers to learn new skills that combine current dance methodology with the introduction of cheer technique (tumbling, acro, group tosses and lifts) in a fun and safe environment. The workshop will be open to everyone from 5 years and up! All levels are welcome!! Watch this space for workshop times and prices!
