COMPANY DIRECTOR'S NOTE!
NOTES FROM KRISTEN!

Hi Company Families! 

Hooray! The Company Lock In is THIS Saturday! Please be sure to read the block below for information on when you need to arrive and what you need to bring and wear for a successful evening! Due to the Lock In, we will not be having rehearsals this Sunday-
however, there is a Production Rehearsal on Saturday from 4-5:30pm prior to the lock in for ALL production dancers

Also, if you need alterations on a group costume, our seamstress will be at the studio tomorrow night starting at 6pm. Please read more details in the bullets below!

Here are some IMPORTANT notes/reminders! 
  • The Company Lock In is THIS Saturday, February 4th! While this is a very fun activity, it is also a required event. All dancers 4th grade and up will spend the night!
    See the block below for details, including times! (Production dancers will have a rehearsal that Saturday prior to the lock in from 4-5:30pm.)
  • The Company Showcase is scheduled for February 19th at Smith-Cotton High School in Sedalia. This is a required event for all dancers- mark your calendars! 
  • Alterations! Our seamstress will be at the studio tomorrow night, Thursday, February 2nd, starting at 6pm. If a dancer has a group costume that needs an alteration, this will be the time to get it taken care of courtesy of Center Stage.  Also, Company Tap 3 girls need to stop in and be measured by her for their costume.  (I know many Company Jazz 1 girls need their costume altered!) 
  • Alterations for solo/duet/trio costumes will also be available at the same time tomorrow night, however, they are not free of charge. The seamstress will charge a minimum of $10 for any alteration, and will determine the total cost based on the alteration needed. Payments should be made directly to her via cash or check! 
  • There are two possible fundraisers we are looking at for February. Please fill out the survey below to let the CS Booster Club know which you would prefer!

  • A list of required shoes for each routine is in progress and available on the Company webpage- scroll to the bottom of the page and click under the heading Shoes and Tights! All Shoes MUST be ordered through the front desk (with the exception of upper level tap shoes) no later than February 14th! A complete list of all shoes will be available by next Wednesday, February 8th. Click here to view the current list now!
  • Information about Company Make-Up is now available to view on the Company Webpage! For everyone's convenience, we have kept the required make-up the same as last year! There are also links to videos on our CS youtube channel showing how to apply the make-up! 
  • No Sunday Rehearsals this week!
As always, if you have any questions, please send me an email at kdrice13@yahoo.com or give the front desk a call at 660.747.6133!

A:  The Company Showcase is a chance for Company and Pre-Company group routines to perform on stage prior to their first competition. 

This gives the dancers a chance to fully practice their entrances and exits through the wings and gives the teachers a chance to see the choreography from the judges' perspective.
