Holiday Show / Rehearsal Information

Click here for the line-up for the 5:30 and 7:15 show. Please arrive 1/2 hour prior to show time for both shows and proceed to the basement of the arts center for check in. If your child is in multiple numbers, please layer their clothes. For example, if tap is first and ballet second, please put the pink tights and black leotard under the black pants and red shirt so all the children have to to is remove one layer and they are already dressed for the next routine. PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING!!!! This is the only way we can be sure everyone returns home with their costumes/clothing. Please arrive in your red shirt over your costume..the opening number will have all children in their red shirts. Send your child with a dance bag with ALL items needed for the show in the bag. Dance shoes, costume change... Please do not send anything additional in with your child. ONLY Shoes and costume changes (if necessary) in their bags. Arrive in your first costume with red shirt over it, this will limit additional confusion for your child as to what they need to wear when. Hair must be pulled neatly in a bun with stage make-up already on upon arrival for check-in. No Exceptions.... It is important that our dancers look uniform and presentable for their performance.

FOR ALL REMAINING CLASSES/REHEARSALS THIS WEEK....
Please arrive in your costume this week during your regular class time or your scheduled theater rehearsal. No make-up...hair does not need to be pulled in bun. However, we do need to see the costumes, so PLEASE send your child in his/her costume. This will help us see who is in need of what so we can help prior to show night. When you arrive this week, please report to your regularly scheduled class in the dance classroom. If you are a Monday class arriving for your scheduled theater rehearsal, you may report directly to the theater.

February 20, 2011  - Be a part of the Senior Showcase

'Hello Shoreline! Something new we"re having this year is a Senior Showcase that will feature choreography by the our high school seniors featuring any Shoreline Dancer who is interested in giving up a little extra time to practice. A little bit about me is that my name is Ashley Daniel and I am a senior at Monmouth Regional High School who will be attending Rutgers University in the fall. As of now I will be choreographing three routines, each for a different skill level. The first will be a Contemporary Jazz routine for the more advanced student (4+ years taking Contemporary or Lyrical or a mature understanding of its concepts). The second will be a lyrical routine for students who have had 2-4 years taking that style or one similar to it. And the third will be a Contemporary Ballet routine for younger students who may have had 0-2 years training in that style. Each class will meet once a week and each dance will only have 4 rehearsals in a row, so attendance is fairly important.  Rehearsals will be on Mondays from 4:30-5:30.  The first rehearsal will be for the Lyrical routine for students ages 8 and up who have had 2 + years of dance.  Monday February 28th will be the first practice.  There is NO COST for participating in this program.  If you are interested, please contact Ms. Heather via email or at 732-897-1112 to confirm your space in this piece. Thank You for supporting us with this new project!
