Dear parents and dancers,
Please find attached a costing list for those we wish to offer an additional item to for Festival – either in a form of a solo or a duet/trio/quartet/ extra group or both.
Please remember that some pupils have been selected for participate in the ALL-ROUND division of the festival where they stand to win the age division but must comply by performing 2 solos per genre plus at least 2 other non-solo items, one of which being their group dance which is rehearsed in weekly lesson times.
Additional items come at additional cost, outlined on the attached, and we allow for a period of 4 months grace to pay off the extra expenses as we know that, particularly for our senior pupils, costs can become quite overwhelming.
Extra time will also be necessary to rehearse these extra items and it is taken on good faith that pupils will be committed, attending all lessons, and putting in the extra time at home to work on corrections.
At all times, it remains at the teacher’s discretion to withdraw items should pupils not be showing the required effort or good attitude to make these performances a success and pupils are reminded to accept the invitation with grace and humility, keeping in mind the feelings of those that, for whatever reason have not been afforded the opportunity.
