Dance SCAPA 2009

Dance Minors(Composition I and II) Information

It’s time to begin preparing for Dance SCAPA 2009! Our teachers and students are already selecting music, working on new choreography, and ordering costumes. The production staff is busy working on scheduling and financing the Opera House performances. We’re excited to invite YOU to become a vital part of our team! Dance SCAPA is a major production and we need each of you to volunteer in some way to make this a successful event for your dancer.

  • Rehearsal week at the Opera House begins Monday, February 2nd. A detailed Opera House rehearsal and performance schedule will be distributed in January. Rehearsal and performance week is a long process and demands a great deal of time and energy. It is important that our dancers eat healthy foods and get plenty of rest. Dance majors are required to attend all scheduled rehearsals and performances. Dance minors do not perform in the school performances, but will participate in all scheduled rehearsals and night public performances the week of February 2nd-7th.

  • Full Dress rehearsal is Thursday afternoon, February 5th. Minors will need to be at the Opera House at 2:00 p.m. We will be organizing parent volunteers to help transport them. Public performances are at 8:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday, February 6th and 7th. Ticket information for public performances will be distributed at a later date.

  • All students are asked to pay a $50 performance fee to defray production costs. Scholarships are available if you qualify for free or reduced lunch.

  • A volunteer form is included in this packet. PLEASE FIND AT LEAST ONE AREA IN WHICH YOU WILL BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER! We appreciate your help, very much!

  • Order forms for Dance SCAPA program one-liners and flower bouquets are also enclosed in this packet. No one-liners will be accepted after the 1/7/09 deadline due to printing deadlines.
