NOTES FROM KRISTEN!
Hi Company Families!
Wow! There's a lot going on this week! It's going to be an INCREDIBLE weekend!
There are lots of details for everyone to remember before we head to Stage One AND after we get there! Be sure to read all of the notes below! YOU are a vital part of company and are responsible for being a prepared member of your team!
If you have not already done so, make sure you log in to the Center Stage Company Team App, download it onto your device, and request to join the All Company Group as well as all additional groups your dancer(s) are in! We will use Team App to send out important, need-to-know-now notifications throughout the weekend! (Detailed instructions are below!)
SPECIAL REMINDER!
I know we are all in a rush to be ready for rehearsals and other classes this week, but please don't forget to show respect for others and take pride in our actual studio building by
CLEANING UP AFTER YOURSELF!!! The studio has been TRASHED with bags, boxes, tissue paper, food and more, and has looked like a disaster after all of you leave each night! Please remember to take a moment to throw away your trash before you head home for the evening- thank you (and if the garbage can is full, let us know and we can get another bag)!
Here are some IMPORTANT COMPETITION notes! Read the blocks below as well!
- Be sure you have the new tights, from this year (purchased in the last few weeks). Old tights will not match! More details below.
- You MUST be at the competition 2 hours prior to the time listed on the the schedule for your routine (or when the doors open if you perform less than 2 hours after that time)! This will give you time to get ready and also ensure we are ready if they are running early. Competitions can run or early or late. Be prepared!
- ABSOLUTELY NO VIDEOS OR PHOTOS CAN BE TAKEN! If anyone is caught, our routine will be disqualified and they will be asked to leave the competition by their staff. Be sure to tell any friends or family members who may be attending the competition!
- Stage One is STREAMING the competition LIVE so family and friends can watch near and far! Tell them to go to www.stageonedance.com and click on the button "Live Stream" to watch!

Team captains are assigned for each group and are responsible for getting awards for their dance!
Captains will need to be sure they know their teacher's name, name of our studio (Center Stage Academy of the Performing Arts), and the number of their routine!
They will meet Miss Kristen outside of the dressing room after the awards to give her any pins, medals, ribbons, trophies they receive. If they can not find Miss Kristen or another CS Staff member at the competition, they should bring the awards in to the studio and give them to the front desk!
Awards should not be passed out on stage! They will be handed approximately a week after the competition at the studio. We will send an email out to let you know when they are available to pick up!
Captains will be different for each competition!

Here are some important competition notes!
1). Quadruple check your costumes! Once you are at the competition there won't be time
to go back and get anything you've forgotten!
2). Pack the necessary items: make-up, hair gel and hairspray, wet wipes, bobby pins,
safety pins, q-tips and cotton balls, super glue or hot glue if you have it, tights, dance shoes, hairpiece, and
anything else you think you MIGHT need.
3). Arrive at the venue with plenty of time to find the group.
Double check the list for when you need to be there!!! Remember, your dancer MUST be in the dressing room 2 hours before their scheduled time.
4). Parents and families wear CS gear or colors if you have it to show your spirit!! Plus, it help us find you in the crowd! :-)
5). If you need anything call or text me at:
816-215-1739!
6). Sign up for the CS Company Team App if you haven't already! Parents AND Dancers should sign up (if you have a device)!!! We will be using it to keep everyone informed of last minute information!
7). Remember, NO PHOTO OR VIDEO may be taken inside the competition.
Violating this policy could result in our
disqualification so please take this very seriously.
8). Please be respectful at the competition! We don't want to be known as the studio who complains or has a bad attitude!
Remember to
encourage,
inspire, be positive and uplift
EVERYONE!!! It has been awesome getting emails from complete strangers past years about how considerate and friendly our dancers and parents are!
