Brigham Audition Results

BRIGHAM AUDITION RESULTS

Hello everyone. Below are the results of the Brigham City audition. We had a GREAT turnout, quite a few new faces, and everyone did a wonderful job! As we have said in the past, our professional panel has assessed all dancers and these Company/Team placements are final for now. Also understand that phone calls or discussions about placement will not in any way alter the outcome.

Please refrain from both.

Brigham registration will be held Mon., June 1st from 4-8 p.m. We changed Mini Prep to Tiny Company and we will not start rehearsal classes in the summer for Jr. or Sr. Squad, but want them to work hard in Ballet and Technique Classes. Squads are not listed on these results. Fall schedules will be out by the end of July.

Reminder – everyone must come to registration on June 1 from 4-8:00 p.m. We will have your packets ready with all your information, schedules, etc. Keep these folders for the year. A monthly calendar will be posted to the website so you can print them off and keep it in your folder. Please make sure you and your parent(s) read all the contents so you know what is expected of you during the year. Registration fee and Full Out payment will be due ($25/returning student, $30/new student, $45/family) and Full Out is $90. We have to order T-shirts next week so make sure you come in! Also, remember we will be requiring a debit/credit card so your account does not go delinquent at the end of the month.

COMPANY/PREP TEAM/SQUAD PLACEMENT*

*Please note if you do not find your name on this list, please call the Brigham Studio, (435) 723-1909 or email Natalie (natalie@infinitydance.org). We do our best to make sure these are completely correct, but mistakes do happen.

Important Updates from Infinity Dance

It's a Boy!
We are thrilled to announce that Dax William Shaw was born May 11, 3:45 a.m.
He was 6 lbs 9 oz, and 18.5” long.
Mother and baby are doing fine!

We are asking that you please give Mandy and family time to spend together, recover, and enjoy the new baby. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Autumn (Autumn@infinitydance.org), Robin (Robin@infinitydance.org), Jamie (Jamie@infinitydance.org) or Natalie (Natalie@infinitydance.org).


SWAN LAKE
There is a MANDATORY practice for all Senior Company, Teen Company, and Teen Company 2 girls who are doing Swan Lake at the Brigham recital. The practice is TOMORROW at 4:30 at Box Elder High School, which is where the recital is.

Junior Company girls from Ogden DO NOT need to be there. They are only doing Swan Lake in the Ogden recital.

Also, PLEASE be aware it is MANDATORY for Company dancers to be at the Brigham Recital. This event has been all the calendar for the entire year. If Ogden dancers miss the Brigham recital, they will NOT perform in the Ogden recital.

This is our showcase for the YEAR. It is very important, and it is not fair to your teammates to not show up.

EARLY AUDITIONS:
Please be aware that we have moved the early auditions for teams to Saturday, May 16, at the Ogden studio, due to the fact that May 23 falls on Memorial Day weekend. That is THIS Saturday. You MUST pre-register through Natalie (email Natalie@infinitydance.org). This audition is ONLY for those girls who cannot make it to either Brigham’s auditions on May 26 & 27 or Ogden’s auditions on June 1 & 2. Please have the audition form filled out, bring your audition fee ($55, which is a $50 costume deposit and a $5 registration/paperwork fee). Also, audition results will NOT be given at this audition, and will be posted on June 3, 2009, on the Web site blog. http://danceinfinity.blogspot.com/

Important Updates from Infinity Dance

Hello All,


Here are a few important notes for the next few weeks.

OGDEN MINI COMPANY NOTE:

THURSDAY, May 7, at the Roy Night to Remember, we will be doing GET LIFTED, instead of Spanish Rose.


OGDEN STUDIO DANCERS!

You are NOT required to be at the Brigham Dress Rehearsal on Monday, May 11. However, Ogden Company members WILL be performing at the Brigham Recital, and I will be putting the schedule on the site tomorrow. But Monday classes in Ogden will be the same as usual. Tuesday, however, there will be NO classes! Please remember this means all of our classes. The majority of the teachers and a good amount of the girls will be involved Tuesday, so it does not make sense to hold classes this day.

Ogden Classes

Monday, May 11--all classes

Tuesday, May 12--NO CLASSES

Obviously, Brigham will not have classes either of these days, as well, as it is their recital.

Monday, May 4, 2009

Monday schedule

There are a few minor changes to the Monday Ogden schedule.

4:00 – 5:00 – Tiny Prep Tech

5:00 – 6:00 – Tiny Prep Rehearsal

5:00 – 6:00 – Teen Prep & Jr. Co. 2 Ballet

6:00 – 7:00 – Teen Prep & Jr. Co. 2 Tech



No changes for Teen Co. 2

As we noted before, there are no classes for Senior, Teen, Junior and Mini Company, as they are performing at the Silverline Showcase.
