All costume pieces provided by The Dance Corner will be distributed to students over the next 2 weeks.  These items must be returned to the Dance Corner after the show.  There will be collection bins in the dressing rooms at the Clinton Town Hall for dancers to leave their costumes in after the performance. 

 

Hair and makeup:

Unless otherwise noted above, All Dancers should wear their hair in a low bun.  Buns should be at the nape of the neck (low enough that they won't interfere with hats).  Performers with shorter hair, should pull their hair away from their face using clips or barrettes that match their hair color. 

Light stage make-up is recommended for performers- light face powder and blush, eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow (gray, brown or another earth tone, not sky blue please), and lipstick should be worn.  A little make-up helps keep performers from looking washed out onstage and keeps their features sharp. 

 

Photographs: 

 

 

 Professional photographs of the show will be taken at the dress rehearsal, so please be in full costume, hair and makeup for the rehearsal on 12/14.  NON-FLASH Photography and video will be allowed during the performance and dress rehearsal.

 

Publicity:

This is a job that everyone can help with.  We have publicity posters for the show that need to be posted around your towns.  Each performer will be given 2-3 posters to put up in their area.  Ask businesses if you can post one in their window, post them on public boards at post offices and libraries, post them wherever you can!  Spread the word!  I want to get a great turn out for this show, and I need your help to do it.

 

Volunteers:

Volunteers are needed to make the show a success.  I have several volunteer assignments that need to be filled.

 

 

Toy Drop Off in New Haven:

In years past we have collected 100's of toys at this event and I am looking for folks who may work in New Haven and are interested in helping to drop off toys at the Marine office at 30 Woodward Avenue.  Toys can be loaded in to your car before and after the performance and you will need to drop them off the following day in New Haven.  Please contact Miss Carrie if you can help with this at all.  We need as many cars as possible to take toys.

  

Post Show Clean-up and load out: 

This is one of the most important volunteer jobs.  I need several volunteers interested in staying until 8:30 or 9:00PM after the show to help us get everything packed up and out of the town hall.  I will also need someone with a larger vehicle (van or truck) to help bring props, scenery and costumes back to The Dance Corner after the show.  If you live near the studio and can help bring some items back there after the show, please let me know.

 

Ticket Sales and Toy Collection:  

I need folks to handle admission ticket sales and collect any Toys for Tots donations.  Ticket sellers will need to be at the auditorium before the show, no later than 6:30PM.

 

Please email Miss Carrie if you or a family member can help with any of these jobs.  Thank you!

 

 

 

It is EXTREMELY important that all performers be at the final rehearsals listed below. Please let me know if you have any conflicts.  We really need to have all dancers at these rehearsals.
