OPTIONAL SOLO COMPETITION INFORMATION

We have the option for your dancer to compete her solo in the Radix Dance Competition while we are attending the dance convention the weekend of February 22-24.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) You will note that solos MAY BE scheduled for that Friday, and there MAY BE a possibility that your dancer will have to miss school to compete. The dance convention typically starts on Saturday (workshop schedule will be sent out as soon as it is available.)
2) There is an additional $140 fee to compete your solo.

DEADLINE: This form must be filled out by Wednesday, January 9 end of day in order for your dancer’s solo to be registered.   Click here to access the Radix Solo Registration Form.

REVEL DANCE CONVENTION – POSSIBLE SOLO OPTION

ALSO, If you/your dancer is interested in competing her solo at Revel Dance Competition which is being held the weekend of January 18, please email us TODAY  at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.  Cheryl will check to see if they are accepting Solo entries.

The Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius has been updated with December and January dates for private rehearsals.   Click here to access the Signup Genius. Make sure that you note on the Signup Genius whether you are signing up for your dancer’s solo, duo, or trio rehearsal.   Please make sure that only 1 mom or dancer signs up for a given slot for a duo or trio.  Please remember the following:

• Please bring your music to the private lesson.
• After a week of your first sign up, you may check again and sign up for one more open slot during the month.
• Please bring payment ($30 for 30 minute sessions with Cheryl or Shannon) at the start of each rehearsal.  There is no option to have this charge added to your FootNotes account.  All dancers must pay the instructor directly by either check, Venmo, or cash.
• If your dancer is unable to attend your booked rehearsal session, you must notify FootNotes at footnotesdance@comcast.net, at least 24 hours ahead of your scheduled time.   If you ‘miss’/forget a rehearsal that you have signed up for, you are still responsible for the payment to the instructor.
• As always, dancers are always free to book an empty room to practice on their own.
