The Vibe’s Showcase Committee has a long list of volunteer positions to be filled for the 2 days of our shows.  Please click here to access the Vibe 2023 Dance Showcase Signup Genius.    

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).

Please note that many of  these volunteer roles only require up to 1 hour 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 both days.    

Please be aware of any time conflicts when signing up for multiple roles. For instance, you can not be a Lead Group Mom and Concessions Sales 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 Concessions Sales for a Sunday show, as an example.  If you have any questions on volunteer positions, feel free to email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

A few important notes about Showcase:

1. Only registered volunteers assisting with backstage duties and Lead Group Moms for
   each group are allowed backstage during Dress Rehearsal. Lead Group Moms for Saturday, February 18, will assist during Dress Rehearsal AND Show #1. If you are registered for other volunteer positions throughout the weekend, please note your arrival times on the Sign-up Genius (link above).

Reminders:  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 member/family is required to sell or purchase at least 10 tickets between the 2 shows.

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 Tuesday, January 10 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 next Tuesday.

• On Monday, January 16, Showcase details will be posted to our website as a web page and web post for general public ticket purchases.
• 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.

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 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.
• Each season, the interest to perform a solo, duo and/or trio continues to growth within Vibe. We are proud to see so many dancers who want to showcase their talents increase each season.  This year, in an effort to provide a comfortable length show for our guests, only high school senior dancers will perform their solo at Showcase.  Each senior dancer will perform their solo in each show.  If there is a duo or trio with ALL senior dancers, they will perform that routine in each show as well.

Let us know if you have any questions on the show order or ticket sales….email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

Several updates on Competition Make-up and Earrings:

1. The “Items Needed for Competition” document has been posted to the Member Information section of the website.  Please make sure you review this document ASAP.    You will see the “**NEW**” indicator beside this document. 

2. Competition Hair and Makeup “boot camp” (for NEW MEMBERS only) has been set for Saturday, February 4th at 1:30pm @ the Studio!  This is for Dancer and Mom and is a mandatory event for both.  This is where you and your dancer will learn our official competition hairstyle for this competition season.  You will also be shown how competition makeup is to be applied so that our dancers have a ‘uniform’ look.

3. Competition Makeup – Cheryl is working with a new makeup supplier for this year and will be ordering competition makeup kits including eyeshadow, blush and lipstick for ALL dancers (Yofi is no longer in business).  These items will be distributed upon arrival. 

4. Competition Earrings – click here to access the Competition Earring Order Form. Competition Earrings are mandatory for all members.   All members should have 2 pairs of earrings for competition (one to wear and one as a backup).   New members should place an order for a minimum of 2 pairs (pierced or clip).  Returning members only need to place an order if they are in need of another pair or two. We need a response FROM EVERY DANCER ASAP/by Wednesday, January 11.

5. For new members, we know this list may look ‘large’, so feel free to reach out to your group mom should you have questions regarding any items on the list.

Happy New Year to all Vibe Members and Parents!!   We are looking forward to seeing everyone!  Regular FootNotes Classes resume on Wednesday, January 4.   REMINDER:  All rehearsals are mandatory from this point forward. 

Also,

Cheryl has updated the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius with new dates for the next few weeks.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.

You may only sign up for one slot each time new dates are posted. After a week, you may check again and sign up for one more open slot a

Dancers, please remember the following:

• Please bring your music to the private lesson.
• Please bring payment ($35 for a 30 minute session with Cheryl or Madison) 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.

The Master Calendar has been updated with several dates and times. Please make sure you keep your dancer’s schedule updated, and remember ALL rehearsals are mandatory from here on out.  There will be rehearsal every single weekend except Radix and spring break.  Please don’t assume there isn’t just because a schedule hasn’t been set.  It is impossible to set schedules too far in advance because of added conflicts.  

This post represents calendar updates through the first weekend in February.  There will be rehearsal for all groups the weekend of February 10-12, just waiting to see what is needed.

All of this season’s shoe styles for your Vibe dancer are now available.  Please Click Here to access the Shoe Buying Guide web page, listed by dance group.  Please make sure that you select the correct dance group for your dancer.  Your dancer’s shoes for this competition season should be in hand no later than Monday, January 11, 2023.

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 ASAP, so you have them in hand for dress rehearsals.

REMINDERS:

1. It is recommended that each dancer have at least 3 pairs of each style of tights on hand at all times as rips, runs and tears are common!
2. Please make sure that you check the correct dance group for your dancer, and also make sure you are choosing the correct color of tights to purchase.

Other costume/tights selections are still being finalized for some groups since costumes are still being delivered. We will add other tights selections to the list as soon as they are known. We will send out another blog post when we have updates.
