You can access pictures and videos from the Applause Parent Center portal.  This is the same place you completed the Dancer Waiver Form last week.     Click here to access the Applause Parent Center Portal.   

Applause has been uploading the videos this AM…if all of your dancer’s videos are not posted yet, just check back on the Applause Parent Center a little later.

It is OK for you to post both pics and videos on social media now that our 2019-2020 season is complete.   We do ask that you refrain from posting videos of our Production piece, since we plan to compete it this coming season.

If you have questions, please contact us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

Applause will be live-streaming the competition event this weekend   As you know from earlier posts, we dance on Sunday afternoon.  The live stream may be accessed through this link – click here.   Once you are on the Applause Virtual Theater page, choose Atlanta, GA in the upper left hand corner.  Feel free to share the link with your family and friends.

Reminder:    The “Overall Awards”, or sometimes called placement awards, will be held at the end of the competition on Sunday.   We are the last studio to compete, so make sure you tune into Live Stream from your phone!

FootNotes Picture Week Details:   Click here to access the FootNotes group picture schedule…we thought we would share it for easy access.  An email was sent out with details on July 6 from FootNotes.

• • Reminder that these pictures run from Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16.  Check the schedule for days and times when your dancer’s pictures will be taken…note for some groups that it may be on multiple days.
  • Hair and Make-up for Picture Week: Dancers need to be in Vibe competition hair and stage make-up (no lashes…but you do need mascara) for all group dances.
    • For ballet (If your dancer’s ballet pics are NOT on the same day as other company group pictures), dancers should wear their hair in a high bun at the crown of their head (follow the natural upsweeping line of the cheekbone for correct alignment of the bun; it should be high but not on top of their head). There should be no part in the hair.
    • For ballet (If your dancer’s ballet pics ARE on the same day as other company group pictures), dancers should wear their hair in a low bun to coordinate with the low pony (competition hair) on that day.
  • At the Studio:  space in the studio will be limited next week to allow for appropriate social distancing.  All dancers should come dressed (all make-up and hair completely done)….bring make-up and hair accessories for touch-ups. It may be unlikely that everyone’s dream duffels will fit on Thursday…you may be able to bring them in after 6pm on Thursday.  Plan to be flexible given the space constraints.  There will be some clothes racks for use.
  • Your Group Mom will communicate with you this week specific recommendations for your group’s day(s) at the studio, along with a review of your rehearsal and picture schedules next week.
  • Releve links:
    • Please visit the following link for info on price lists, coupon codes, making deposits, how to use your deposits, etc.:  click here
    • To make a Deposit for pictures (this also “schedules” with Releve that you want your dancer to have an individual picture taken): click here
