Dance Attack is a semi-annual Dance Convention
put on by The Winner School and our sister studios, The Dance Club and Dance
Impressions. Winter Dance Attack is 2 days full of classes that will develop
each dancer’s technique and choreography skills. It is also a chance for our
dance teams to bond together as we head into competition season.
What
to Expect:
·
Registration
1/16 @ 3-4:00 pm. Check in and get your wristband and
other goodies. The ladies at check in will tell you where to go from here.
·
Opening
Ceremonies 1/16 @ 4:00-4:15 pm. We will all sit
together at Opening Ceremonies so no one feels left out or alone. Look for the
other dancers or the red balloons. Opening ceremonies will introduce you to the
staff and give important instructions for the day. Parents are welcome.
·
Classes
Begin 1/16 @ 4:15-9:00pm. Please
make sure to pick-up your dancer promptly at 9:00! Dinner is included on this
day.
·
Classes
Begin 1/17 @ 10:00am- 4:00pm. Lunch is included
on this day.
·
Classes
are closed to parents and friends until the last 10 minutes.
This is so the dancers can concentrate on the teacher and not have any outside
distractions. It helps to talk to your dancer (especially our young girls) and
explain that she will be with her dance friends and that you will not be with
her. She will feel more prepared and not surprised when you leave her in class
that first time.
·
Meals
are included. Dinner on the 16th and lunch on the 17th
are included. We will have a special section of
the eating area set aside so our girls can sit together. Of course, they can
say hi to new friends they have met or other girls they know from Winner School
or other studios. But we are trying to reinforce a team concept and help all
the girls feel comfortable and included.
·
Classes.
The
girls will have classes in all aspects of dance – jazz, ballet, hip hop, etc.
Please send all shoes with you dancer. Please no dance paws, as our dancers
cannot execute proper technique in them. Please label all shoes, bags, and
clothing as there are lots of dancers and items do get misplaced. Dancers are
allowed to wear any dance attire they choose. They may also wear their class
outfits. They should wear their travel suits while outside of class to promote
a professional appearance and team unity. Hair must be pulled back. Please refer to Dance Attack flyer for Jazz class details. An extra copy can be
picked up at the store.
·
Closing
Ceremonies 1/17 @ 4:15 pm. Parents and friends are
welcome and encouraged to come. The dancers will be showcasing what they learn
during the convention.
♥
Your Sister:
Each dancer will be
given a “Dance Attack Sister.” This is to make sure each girl has a buddy and a
friend at all times. We want all the girls to feel confident and comfortable as
they take class. And we want to make sure all of our girls are safe and looking
out for each other. Each sister pair will be given a matching color bracelet at
Opening Ceremonies (like BFF bracelets!!!). That will make it easy and fun for
the girls to remember who their sister is. It would be great if you brought a
little treat to give to your sister to show that you ♥ her.
Dance Attack Check List:
ü Label all shoes, bags, and clothing.
ü Bring all dance shoes and a pair of
tennis shoes for hip hop.
ü Healthy snacks and a water bottle.
String cheese, fruit, nuts, granola bars. This is a long day for our dancers.
Please send snacks that will give them good, sustained energy.
ü Treat for your sister
ü Please talk to your dancer about good
behavior and respect while in class. And please make sure they know that you
will not be able to attend class so they can get comfortable with the idea.
ü A positive attitude is the best thing
they can bring!! They will get so much out of this weekend if they work hard!!
