JANUARY 15th & 16th
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 1/15 @ 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 1/15 @ 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 WS
dancers in their black and red travel suits. Opening ceremonies will
introduce you to the staff and give
important instructions for the day. Parents are welcome.
· Classes Begin 1/15 @ 4:15-9:00pm. Please make sure to pick-up your dancer promptly at 9:00!
Dinner is included on this day.
· Classes Begin 1/16 @
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 15th and lunch on the 16th are included. We will have a 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 1 class details. An extra copy can be picked up at the store.
· Closing Ceremonies 1/16 @ 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.
