OPENING NUMBER
Join us for our Opening Number Performance!
Each of our Annual Showcase performances always starts off with a special performance and we want YOU to be a part of it! We are celebrating Ohana's seventh year as a studio & all the wonderful things that makes this studio shine: our dancers! All Ohana dancers age 7+ can be part of the routine (I'm talkin' to YOU too, Adult dancers!).
Keep reading for more information!
What's an "Opening Number?"
It's how we kick off each show!
The "Opening Number" is the first routine of both of our Showcases. That means, if you're in this routine, you're in EVERY show! We rehearse for approximately 6 weeks prior to the show - these are extra rehearsals on top of your regular classes. But they're special! You get to work with many dancers your age and others whom you may never have met! It will include a variety of styles of dance and dancers of all ages and abilities! You don't want to miss it!
"I want to be a part of it!"
We're so psyched you're joining us! Here is the scoop:
No audition is required, but you MUST pre-register! We will be holding evaluations this year.
Evaluations will be held on Sunday April 30th from 11-12PM.
Cost:
$70 for each ensemble dancer (includes costume)
$100 for each featured dancer (includes costume)
Ensemble dancers will not need to attend as many rehearsals as featured dancers.
This covers studio overhead and rehearsal time with the choreographers.
This will be an extra commitment on top of your regular weekly classes.
Dancers will be divided into groups and will learn their section of the routine in separate rehearsals, and will then be asked to practice at home! We will have all-group rehearsals in June, and you must attend them! If you miss rehearsals and don’t know the routine, you will be unable to perform with the group! :( This policy must be enforced because we will only have a select amount of rehearsals before the show.
Rehearsals will be on the weekends beginning on Saturday, May 6th. This first rehearsal is mandatory for all participants! Any participant that wants to join who has a prior commitment on this date must understand there may be parts they won't be able to participate in due to their absence. The tentative rehearsal schedule is as follows:
