It has come to my attention,that we have a few dancers not prepared for moving forward each week during specialty / classroom competition pieces. All company dancers need to be practicing weekly ALL their pieces for competition. On weekends, there are some spaces open for practice or at home, etc….
Dancers MUST be proficient week to week on material learned the previous weeks. If this is not happening, time is wasted and progress to move forward is hindered. Thus it shows us that the student is not working on their own. Dancers must work on their own and have the ability to perform any of their competition pieces individually . Needing to watch others to complete a dance means the student does not know the material.
The BAND app is updated weekly. Students have the ability to view the videos of their dances and practice ! Students should be using this app or requesting videos sent to their phones to be prepared week to week.
I appreciate your attention to this practice request and ensure your dancer is taking it upon themselves to work outside of studio time.
thanks, LIZ
