Tonight! 

This is your last opportunity to dance and get some technique in before the show. I strongly encourage all to attend. 

June 2nd:

4:00-5:00 OPEN Ballet Tech

5:00-6:00 OPEN Jumps & Turns

Blocking Notes

• SCDC HH was not show ready. Please make every effort to attend Kayla's Make-up tomorrow at 6pm.

Call Times:

There are pieces that haven't been assigned a blocking time since they've been performed already a few times at the Gala and in LA. There are also a few pieces in need of more stage time. We will be using a few early call times to run a few pieces pre-show. Here is the schedule for call times:

• 11:30am Sat Matinee call (except Adam, Marissa & Addie -12:15pm)
• blocking Somebody to Love, Fazio, Don't Lose You Head & (Harem @12:15)
• 5:00pm Sun Evening Call 
• blocking Goliath, JT Prod, JPG Jazz, PG Modern
• 12:15pm Sun Matinee Call
• 5:30pm Sun Evening Call
• blocking Ariana HH

Other pieces may also have another run on stage depending upon how Blocking Rehearsals go.

Recital Dressing Room:

We looked around backstage and in dressing rooms and things are tighter than last time with them using some spaces for storage. We will need to re-work room assignments from what was planned. Matinees in particular will be tight and each show will likely be different.

***No rack and rolls due to spacing constraints.

Additional Volunteers for Matinee:

If you aren't in a matinee but are willing to help backstage with younger students, please email Alicia. 

Summer Shows:

Working on 7/2 & 8/11 for additional shows. We need to know of any conflicts ASAP. 

Tap:

We have observed some misunderstanding about the tap requirements for next year. Here is a screenshot of how it was communicated via email and in the audition form. Pleaser reach out if you have any questions. 

Auditions:

Auditions for next year are coming up. We will be assessing all students auditioning throughout the week of the June Intensive. We will then move to a formal audition panel on Friday, June 24th & Sat, June 25th. The audition panel will be comprised of the NHAPA faculty that are instructing company classes/groups next year. Steve & Angie are not joining us this year. The faculty we have assembled these last few years have diverse perspectives and insights and we are confident that this team is best poised to make these decisions. 

Schedule for Panel Auditions

6/24

• 4:30pm Check-In/Stretch 
• 5-6pm Jazz- All Students
• 6-7:30pm Tap-If you are new to tap, in lieu of panel audition you will be placed in an appropriate tap class.

6/25

• 8:45am Check-In/Stretch
• 9-9:40am Contemporary- All Students

Ballet & lyrical placement will be decided based upon this past year as well as intensive classes. We are planning to conduct zoom calls on June 28th & June 30th to discuss individual audition results with students and families. There is.a sign-up genius to select a day and time:

Helpers for Recital:

The following list of classes will have their helpers on stage with them and will also need you to attend their blocking rehearsal:

• Thursday Preschool class w/Caitlin-Grace R
• Tuesday Primary 2 class w/Danielle-Maia S
• Monday Primary 1 class w/Marissa- Nayana & Ella
• Monday HH Basics class w/Hailey-Delilah
• Wed Tap I class w/Hailey-Ainsley
• Sat Preschool class w/Danielle-Sophie & Georgia
• Wed Ballet/Jazz Combo class w/Makayla-Maddie

The Saturday matinee includes both SCDC and PG numbers and the Sunday matinee includes both SCDC and JPG numbers. This was planned due to the limited spacing backstage when we have lots of younger students performing. We will be asking some students not performing in a matinee to assist backstage. We will be reaching out to organize that soon. 

Summer:

All returning company members were signed up for the Company Intensive this week. When you login to your account the total will be reflected on your account. Please login prior to June 10th to settle that balance. 

Additionally, there will be offerings in between intensive weeks to keep company members learning, stretching and trying new things. This is a great time to fit in something that might be hard to add during the year.

• Wednesday Evenings: ACRO & Modern Technique-register in the SHOP section of the app
• Tuesdays- Company Pop-ups
• August Week long Choreography Lab-register in studio dir

All of the dates and pricing can be found on the website. 

Videography: 

We have met the minimum number of people that are interested in purchasing a recital video so we will be moving forward with our videographer. We will reach out next week for pre-order information.
