LE Dance has been offered an opportunity, that Liz has accepted on behalf of LE Dance Studio. It will change the "convention" option this year for our studio. We have been approached by Masquerade Dance Competition, to be the FIRST studio to experience their in house dance convention "UNMASKED AUDITION INTENSIVE". As the first studio to experience this in house convention, we are receiving the experience, at a very reduced rate (75.00 per student ) This rate will be for this year only. This will be a unique experience for us as a convention experience but one I feel will be more personal/beneficial for OUR students. Financially, I believe it makes sense ! And as a nationals year, it seems to make more sense.
This means we will have UNMASKED be our required convention this year. The intensive workshops are customized to our studio. Professional Choreographer/Teachers are brought into our studio on JANUARY 5-7, 2018.
**I do know they plan to divide the days (DAY 1 = JR's / ages 12 & under and DAY 2 = Sr's / ages 13 & older) The solo showings will be in the evenings (Friday / Saturday) with immediate judges feedback for each dancer choosing to show ONE solo.
The UnMasked Audition Intensive Convention includes:
Professional Headshots with a Photographer
Interview with UnMasked Panel of Choreographers
5 MasterClasses in various genres focusing on each from an audition perspective
Scholarships
Personal Feedback session with UnMasked panel of Choreographers
Callbacks and Awards
Solo previews with feedback and guidance from our panel of judges to help you take your solo game to the next level
RADIX payments – ONLY one check has been deposited for Radix. With this said, you can either come in and pick up your check or if you have paid Radix along with "other" payments (costume deposits, or tuition), we can write you a check back to you (minus the fee for UnMasked) OR we can apply the Radix fee (minus the UNMASKED fee), to your account for future payments (tuition, or costumes, etc)
IF you have a RADIX scholarship, you are welcome to attend Radix to take advantage of the scholarship (PLEASE LET LIZ KNOW IF YOU DO HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP, and will be attending RADIX).
We also have the LA DANCE MAGIC CONVENTION in St Louis, for those interested in attending. JAN 12-14, 2018 (optional) We have about 10 attending LA Dance Magic, but if you want to attend, please let Liz know & she will add you to the list. (THIS is in St. Louis & will require a hotel stay)
Thanks and please mark your calendars for JAN 5-7, 2018 . This is very exciting, and I am proud that we were selected to be the first to experience UNMASKED.
Liz
