Hi Year12's!

I hope you have a lovely Christmas break. I've uploaded the rehearsal videos for the Christmas Dance Show; there is a before and after of your piece for you to comment on the adjustments you made referring to the personalised comments I gave each of you. There is also a video of your finale Dance to "Blame it on the Boogie".

Enjoy and have fun!

Miss Risolino

Thank you for those who handed me in their loggs today!

Just a reminder that we are performing the 'Skinny love' dance piece in the KS3 Assembly on the first day back Tuesday 3rd January. You need to arrive at the dance studio for 8am to run through it.

Merry Christmas

Miss England

Christmas Holiday Homework :)

Christmas Holiday Homework :) (Sorry guys but its got to be done! - be ready to return and ontop of everything!)

- New Skills Audit to be completed and handed in for the 5th January (same format as before but your skills are now developed and you are focusing on different points for improvement)
- Update Bloggs with videos from you own chosen dance style should be a regualr imput (read what i wrote again on your milestone feedback)
- Update Bloggs with Saturday night fever feedback and analysis (all on u tube chanel now). The bit from this to go in you loggs is research into the audition process in more depth. Research into Saturday night fever, how would you dress for that audition...
- Write up Professional make-up work shop as loggs (include research in to professional artist Kate Griffiths- she has a website and facebook page). I will put all pictures on the shared area.
- Logg the christmas show - review on how it went, what could you do to improve it
- Contiue research for Unit 2: on you individual job roles for West Side Story (Becky and Joe - Choreographers, Cheryl and Chloe - Rehearsal Directors, Shannon - Hair and make-up, Farrah - Hair and make-up, Elouise- Hair and make-up and Ray- Marketing) I think that right!)
Research needs to be on the following and put in your own words:
Target Audience
Aims and Objectives for West Side Story
Budget (why is it important to have one)
Venue
Health and Safety
Audience needs
Social Implications of performance
Cultural Conventions of School productions

Finally we wish you a lovely and very merry Christmas

Lots of love

Miss England and Miss Risolino

The week ahead...

Hi dancers

So I chatted to a few of you about launching a Yr 12 dance intervention after school to help with written work. This will start after christmas and the best day for the dance department would be Thursdays after school 3.30-4.30pm. How is that for everyone? If you can't make it can you come up with some alternative days (its not an intervention you must attend weekly but is there for anyone who is struggling)

We have a very busy week ahead of us make sure you have set an after school rehearsal between all of you to practice the Cunningham piece for the show which is looking beautiful :) very proud of you all.

Also we have the fabulous auditions workshop with two professional west end dancers on Wednesday so remember to be prepared with you CV and headshot and looking professional as if you are entering an actual audition (All needs to be written up for your portfolios after)

Other key dates to remember:

- Winter Wonder Dance show Friday 9th (I need you there from 3.30-7ish)

- Professional Make-up day Tuesday 13th December 9am-3pm

- Loggs (as far as you have got) due in 15th December

- Blogs with applied feedback 15th December

- New Audits (first draft) 15th December
