Yes, it’s T-2 days and counting for Showcase 2023!! 

Amy and Elisa have prepared a Showcase Consolidated Schedule/Summary Reminders document, and it has been loaded to the Showcase 2023 Member Information webpage.  It’s #6 on the list. Please review this document (as well as the detailed Showcase parent meeting document – it is #4 on the list, if you have not had a chance yet.)  These documents include important information for you and your dancer about this weekend!! Click here to access the 2023 Showcase Member Information webpage.

Amy and Elisa ask that you please allow plenty of time to get to the venue and to be on time per the schedule start at 10:45am on Saturday (unless you are slotted to come earlier per the Signup Genius to help with clearing out the classrooms).

We still have several volunteer openings for concessions and clean up for both shows. Please consider signing up for additional responsibility throughout the weekend to ensure Showcase 2023 goes off without a hitch!  Click here to access the Showcase Volunteer Sign-Up Genius.  In addition, you can access the Volunteer Hours Tracking Form on the Member Information Page at any time throughout the season to log your volunteer hours.

Lastly, please have your dancer bring their heart shaped sunglasses that they received from Cheryl on Tuesday with them to Showcase! We want to get pictures of the girls and their teams backstage hyped and ready to GLOW THEIR OWN WAY!

We have pulled together a web page dedicated to our business and family sponsors for this dance season.  Click here to access the web page.  A link to each sponsor’s website is included on the web page.  We are so grateful for all of the support from these businesses this year!  Please patronize each of these businesses whenever possible, and thank them for their support of our dance team!  Thank You to our Family Sponsors for your donation to this year’s dance season!

We want to thank our AMAZING Business Partner Chairs and their Committee for their hard work this year in gaining the support of this sponsor list!   You ladies ROCKED IT!  Thank you to Heather LeCompte and Isabel Moulthrop as Business Partner/Sponsor Chairs, along with Christy Smith, Heather Cannon, Kerry Higgins, Kim Quilty, Mandy Personette and Rebecca Knezevich!

A HUGE THANK YOU to Maya Frank for creating the artwork for our sponsors for the Showcase Program and social media.   

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.

If you already have a rehearsal booked for this weekend you can not book another one until this Friday to give everyone a chance to sign up.

Everyone must wait until they receive the email before signing up.

Cheryl has created the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius for this season. 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 one week, you may sign up for an additional spot, but you must have pre-approval from Cheryl.  

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.

Showcase 2023 Dancer Gifts and Shout-Outs are now available for pre-sale!!  Click here for details on how to purchase.

SHOWCASE DETAILED SCHEDULE

The Showcase Chairs will host a Showcase Informational Meeting only for new members of Vibe this year.  This meeting will occur during the hair and make-up tutorial session at the studio on February 4th.  In lieu of the mandatory Vibe Parent Meeting that is typically held prior to Showcase, we kindly ask that you please read the attached document to review important details about Showcase, including venue details, drop-off and pick-up instructions, timeline, etc.  Click here to access the 2023 Showcase Member Information Page.  The Showcase Detailed Schedule is #4 on the list.

SHOWCASE VOLUNTEER SIGNUP

Thank you to those members that have already signed up for multiple positions on our Showcase 2023 Signup Genius!  Several key/”must fill” positions are still open and need volunteers.  We need your help to get these open positions filled. Please click here to access the Vibe 2023 Dance Showcase Signup Genius.    

Reminders from the initial post about the Signup Genius:

1.  Please note that many of  these volunteer roles only require up to an hour of your time, so you may sign up for multiple volunteer positions across both shows.    
2. Please be conscious of any time conflicts when signing up for multiple roles.  If you have any questions on volunteer positions, feel free to email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

It truly takes a village and we appreciate the cooperation and support of each of our dance families pulling together to bring Showcase to life!  If you have any questions regarding Showcase 2023, please reach out to Amy Smith or Elisa Bobbitt.
