Please let me know if I have missed any groups or solos on this list.
More information regarding each of the competitions will be published on the web and at the studio in the New Year.
All these competitions run from Thursday to Sundays with as little school class time missed as possible. Your class has been chosen to enter the competitions but it is your responsibility to get your child to and from the competitions and look after them at the events. Your teacher will prepare the students for the competitions and help them on and off the stage and to congratulate them when they are done. We do at least three competitions each year; our goal is to improve our dancing from one competition to the other and to make our recital a great success. If we win overall marks, trophies and ribbons on the way this is a bonus!
What is expected in a competition and the procedures will be explained to the students in their dance classes. Exact schedules, with directions to the venues will be posted on our website www.candanceacademy.com as soon as received by our office. If you have any questions please call (905) 823-7393 or email lori@candanceacademy.com.
This is a great experience for children to work in a team environment and to build confidence. As always our focus at Can Dance is to have fun. It is a requirement that competitive students attend all their classes. Missed classes may result in a dancer not being prepared for the competition and asked to step out. Please note: to compete in a jazz category you may be required to take ballet, modern or acro and to compete in the lyrical category you must take ballet. Competition requires teamwork; if you are away from class please let us know (phone or e-mail). If you are just not feeling well or are injured please come and watch the class.
Solos and Duets will be entered in all three of the chosen competitions automatically. If the routines are not ready it is up to the discretion of the choreographer and dancer. There are no refunds on any competition fees.
Happy Dancing!
Miss Lori
Director
