A Maximum number of 2 trios and 2 duets will be made available as specialty dances, in addition to your group choreography
material. Eligibility for Specialty Dances is based on the following criteria: Must be a member of Sparkling, Shimmering
or Glimmering, All account balances must be current and up to date, commitment to the extra-curricular rehearsal schedule
and associated fees, as well as registration in lyrical class.
This is not a guaranteed experience
for all. These dances would not be recital material but intended for competition performance only ( or company performances,
but not studio performances)
Rehearsals will be held Saturday afternoons and will amount to the total
of 10 hours rehearsals but possibly broken down into an initial 2-3 hour learning period, with 30 or 45-60 mins upkeep and
polishing. Dancers will be expected to maintain their choreography by themselves as rehearsal will not be weekly or
with time for review, re-teaching or re- choreographing.
The fee will include the coaching/choreographing
fee for 10 hours, competition fee and event staff/aadmin fee for 1 competition event. Additional competitions maybe
attended at the price $120 per event per person with additional rehearsal fees at the rate of $35 per hour per person.
Of course, all parties within the duet or trio must be in agreement to attend additional events. Costume fees will be
separate and could hopefully be minimized by re-use of your recent costume wardrobe, or rented from the DE costume wardrobe.
Rentals are between $35 and $45 and if purchase is necessary, this would be the usual $75.
Please
mark your intention to be considered for a specialty on your audition form. Turning these in, in advance of audition
is welcome but must absolutely be presented with the dancer at audition. Thank you.
