In Studio Dress Rehearsals

In Studio Dress Rehearsals have been updated on the Master Calendar. Please make sure you keep your dancer’s schedule updated, and remember ALL rehearsals are mandatory from here on out.  

In Studio Dress Rehearsals

Dancers and Moms are required for In Studio Dress Rehearsals for each group.  See dates by group below. Here is what to bring/expect:   

  • 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 (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), AND, please make sure that ALL pieces of the costume are labeled with your dancer’s name.  Bring competition shoes. Tights will be determined at dress rehearsal.    
  • 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.
    • Bravo –  Wednesday, January 28th 4:00pm-5:00pm 
    • Ovation –  Friday, February 6th  5:00-7:00pm
    • Nova – Friday, February 6th 5:00-7:00pm
    • Prodigy – Monday, February 2nd  7:00-8:30pm
    • Premier – Tuesday, February 3rd  7:30-9:00pm
    • Elite – Sunday, February 8th  1:00-3:00pm

2026 Vibe Showcase Show Order & Ticket Sales Info

Showcase 2026 is upon us!!!!

The show dates and times are: Saturday, February 21 at 4:00pm, and Sunday, February 22 at 2:00pm. 

Venue:  Blessed Trinity High School, 11320 Woodstock Rd, Roswell, GA 30075 

Please click here to view the 2026 Vibe Showcase show order.

Showcase Ticket Sales Information

Tickets are $25 online sales, via our ticketing website, and $30 per ticket on the day of the show (to be sold at the venue).

Each Vibe family is required to sell, purchase or donate at least 10 tickets or $250 to Showcase (between the 2 shows) per Vibe Member Contract. Remember to place your dancer’s name into the “Dancer’s Name” field during the Checkout process (at the time of purchase) since we are tracking # of tickets sold by dancer family. Tickets purchased for a dancer who has already met the 10 ticket requirement cannot be transferred to another dancer who has not yet met the 10 ticket obligation.  

We ask that you please refrain from buying unused or unwanted tickets to simply meet the 10 ticket requirement per the Vibe Member Contract to allow for more seating options for guests who can attend the show.  Ticket purchase process:

    • Please purchase the exact number of tickets for your guests who have committed to attending the show.
    • Please do NOT purchase tickets if you have not received commitment from guests to attend a show only to meet your 10 ticket commitment.
    • If your 10 ticket obligation or donation amount is not met after online ticket sales close to the public, you will be invoiced for the remaining balance payable through Square or by  check (payable to the Vibe Performance Company).  

Below are details about the timing of Ticket Sales:

  • Showcase Tickets will go on pre-sale via our online ticketing website to Parents of Seniors on Wednesday, January 21 at/around 9am.  Parents of Seniors will be allowed to purchase up to 20 tickets for both shows at this time.  Once ticketing goes on sale for other Vibe members the next day, you may purchase more tickets at that time.  Please be on the lookout for an email from the Vibe GMAIL account (not a web post) with Ticket Sales information on Tuesday.
  • Showcase Tickets will go on pre-sale via our online ticketing website to all other Vibe members only on Thursday, January 22 at/around 9am.  Please be on the lookout for an email from the Vibe GMAIL account (not a web post) with Ticket Sales information on Wednesday.    
  • On Monday, January 26, Showcase details will be posted to our website as a web page and web post for general public ticket purchases.

**NEW Vibe Donation Opportunity Information (a great way to meet your 10 ticket contract requirement):

Please share the ticket purchase link you receive with friends and family that are unable to attend the show, but wish to support their favorite dancer, that they have the option to make a small donation to Vibe Performance Company in lieu of a ticket purchase.  When using the link to purchase tickets, there is a donation tab at the top (see snapshot below).  Please have the donor fill in your dancers name in the “dancer’s name” field.

Here is example wording that one of our Elite members, Imani Reid, shared with her friends and family last year and generated over $900 in donations!

Hello Family, It’s that time of year again.  It’s my dance studio’s annual Showcase dance fundraiser.  While I know most of you reside out of town and won’t be able to attend, may you please consider making a donation.  Every little bit helps!  Please see the link below, and as always thanks for the continued love and support.  

Below are important notes about Day of Show (to explain to your guests when inviting them): 

  • There will be a short intermission in each show, where concessions will be sold.
  • We are offering 2 Dancer Gift options as well as flowers this year. They will be sold pre-sale and at the venue, while quantities last. There will be a separate web post next week explaining the dancer gift options and how to purchase.

If you have any questions please reach out to our Showcase Chairs, Amy Smith or Elisa Bobbitt.

2026 Big/Little Activity Checklist

Calling all Big/Lil Queens! Presenting the 2026 Vibe Big/Lil Majestic Moments & Regal Rewards monthly activity list!

This is your guide to Big/Lil Fun as we prepare to kick off our spring competition season!! The Big/Lil checklist includes monthly activities or small gift ideas guaranteed to bring a smile to your big or little. This year, it’s not a race to finish first or to check a box. It’s a celebration of you and everything each Big and Lil bring to the Vibe family. The goal is to provide each Big/Lil pair with opportunities to get to know each other, have fun, be silly together, share hugs or high-fives, cheer for each other, and share a few tokens of love and support along the way. Each big/lil pair will also be entered in a raffle for gift card prizes in February, March, April, and May. Each month we will post Big/Lil activity reminders so there will be no need to commit the checklist to memory or scroll through posts to find the information.

To kick-off our majestic moments, we’ll start with decorating a frame for dancer to exchange with his/her Big or Little at Showcase next month. Frames will be available for pickup at the studio beginning Thursday, Jan 22nd!

Get Your Dancing Shoes!

This season’s shoe styles for your Vibe dancer are now available.  Please Click Here to access the Shoe Buying Guide, listed by dance group.  Please make sure that you select the correct dance group for your dancer Dress rehearsal dates will be announced soon and tight requirements will be determined then.  Please have all shoes in hand prior to dress rehearsal.  

Shoe links have been provided to make shopping easier however prior to checking out please make sure the shoe you are purchasing is the right color and style.  Links change from time to time but all information is on the spreadsheet (style numbers and colors).  

 

Private Lesson Signup Genius

Cheryl has updated the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius. Click here to access the Signup Genius. Everyone must wait until they receive the email before signing up.

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.

You may only sign up for one slot each time new dates are posted. After 3 days, if there are still spots open, dancers who do not have a solo/duo/trio and would just like a private lesson for technique are eligible to book. These dancers should be prepared to come to their private lesson with an agenda of what they want to work on. 

Dancers, please remember the following:

  • Please bring your music to the private lesson.
  • Please bring payment (Note: fee increase to $45 for a 30 minute session for both Madison & Cheryl) 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.

Studio Booking Process

We will be using Calendly to book rooms for practices and/or to log your required rehearsals for solo, duo or trios. Click here to access the FootNotes booking page on Calendly.

  • Solos, duos or trios must log 1 hour each month in the studio on your own.
