Dress Rehearsal Dates

Dancers and Parents:  It is nearing Showtime, folks!  Showcase Dress Rehearsal dates and times are listed below for all groups.  The Master Calendar has been updated with all of these dates and changes.  Please make sure you sync up you/your dancer’s calendar with the Master Calendar to ensure you have all of these updates.

  • This is a FULL COSTUME/dress rehearsal at the Studio for both the dancer and mom to learn what will be required with all costumes. It is very important that moms attend at their group’s designated time, especially for the older groups (Encore, Prodigy, Premier, Elite), in case there are other alterations needed or undergarments that need to be purchased.   NOTE: If you are unable to attend, please ask another mom in your group to work with your dancer during Dress Rehearsal to relay information to you about any costume adjustments, etc. that are needed for your daughter.  
  • This ‘dress rehearsal’ is when costumes will be tried on, checked for alterations and changes needed, etc. The dancers will run through their dances in the costume to confirm that it is “stage ready.”   Competition Hair and Make-up are not required for this Dress Rehearsal.
  • Please bring ALL costumes (that you have in hand), as well as ALL accessories, ALL shoes, and ALL tights. ***Click here to access the Shoe & Tights Buying Guides web page.***    AND, please make sure that ALL pieces of the costume are labeled with your dancer’s name.
  • Please be on time!   
  • If your dancer’s Dress Rehearsal is scheduled at the studio during their class time, they will still have class before or after their group’s scheduled Dress Rehearsal time.
  • All moms (and dancers) must wear a mask while inside the studio during Dress Rehearsals.

Showcase Volunteer Signup for Day of Shows

The Vibe’s Showcase Committee has a long list of volunteer positions to be filled for the 2 days of our 3 shows.  Please click here to access the list of all volunteer positions for our Vibe 2021 Dance Showcase.    

A couple of reminders about the Signup Genius:  Every Vibe family is obligated to volunteer at least one position during Showcase.   We have MANY positions to fill in order to ensure Showcase goes off “without a hitch!”  This is the best time of the year to earn your hours towards the 12 hours required from each dancer family (20 hours for families with two dancers).

Following CDC Guidelines, the Roswell Cultural Arts Center requires that we follow a rigorous check-in and capacity monitoring process.  Please note that many of  these volunteer roles only require 30 minutes of your time (as noted in the Signup Genius description of the position), so you will likely want to sign up for multiple volunteer positions across the 3 shows.    

Please be aware of any time conflicts when signing up for multiple roles. For instance, you can not be a Lead Group Mom and Theatre Entrance Monitor for the same show as you would be needed in both roles at the same time. However, you could easily be a Lead Group Mom for the Saturday show and Theatre Entrance Monitor for a Sunday show, as an example.  If you have any questions on volunteer positions, feel free to email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

Showcase Dancer Gifts & Shout-Outs

We have published details on Showcase 2021 Dancer Gifts and Shout-Outs.  Click here for details on how to purchase.

Reminder also to read the email sent yesterday about “Vibe Showcase 2021 Tickets Update.”  Remaining available seats for the sold out shows will go on sale at 9am tomorrow (Monday, January 18).

Reminder: Hair & Make-up Day tomorrow – New Members ONLY

This is just a reminder that Hair and Make-up Day is tomorrow, Saturday, January 16 at 10am (until 12noon) at the Studio.  This session is for NEW (FIRST YEAR) VIBE MEMBERS ONLY.  Mom and daughter must attend.   As mentioned in an earlier post, we are using the same hairstyle as last season, so RETURNING MEMBERS SHOULD NOT attend.   To stay within COVID protocols, we must only have New Members attend.   

Details for New Members:  Cheryl will show you (mom) & your dancer how to style your dancer’s hair for competition, along with how to apply the make-up.  You will need to bring all of your hair and make-up supplies to complete the hair and make-up look on your dancer tomorrow.  Below are reminders on what to bring:

  • Please bring ALL the hair and make-up items listed in the Items Needed for Competition document on the Member Information page.
  • The YOFI make-up (blush, eyeshadow, lipstick) that was ordered in December will be distributed to you at the session.
  • It will be really helpful to have a blanket to spread out your supplies and a stool or two for you and your dancer.
  • Your dancer should arrive with her hair fully straightened. There are not enough plugs in the studio for everyone to plug in a flat iron.
  • Please be all set-up with your supplies/blanket/stool and ready to start at 10am.

Returning Members:  If you purchased some of the Yofi make-up, it will be distributed to your dancer on Saturday when she is at Rehearsal.

Any questions?  If so, please reach out to your Group Mom.

Master Calendar Updates & Open Dates in the Summer

ALL GROUPS:   February 5, 6, and 7 will be Rehearsal dates/exact days and times for each group TBD.   Cheryl does not have details yet on timing since she needs to see where each group’s dances are, but it is very likely that every group will be rehearsing that weekend.   Please hold/reserve the weekend of February 5 through 7 for possible rehearsals.   We will communicate a detailed schedule as soon as it is finalized.

Cheryl also wanted to communicate the following dates are ‘open’ which represents when she is confident no dancer activities will be planned in the Summer:

  • week of June 7 through 13 (week after recital)
  • weeks of July 5 and July 12

We will communicate other weeks that are available/open as soon as they are known.

Get Your Tights Now!

The Competition Tights List has been updated on the Shoe & Tights Buying Guide webpage.  EACH GROUP should review the spreadsheet to see what type and color of tights your dancer needs.   Please click here to access the Shoe & Tight Buying Guide web page.   You will see the Tights Buying Guide listed at the bottom of the web page.  Please purchase these this week, so you have them in hand.

REMINDER:  Please make sure that you check the correct dance group for your dancer, and make sure you are choosing the correct color to purchase.
