EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATION DAY!
Sunday, November 20th
1 to 4pm: Evaluation gives each dancer an opportunity to understand her strengths and opportunities for improvement. Additionally, the Daughters of Rhea have lots of performance bookings for 2006, and certification will be required to participate in most of them. Each participant will receive a comprehensive 8 to 10 page evaluation around December 20th. You must wear clothing that shows your torso, hips, knees, and ankles, i.e. leotards and leggings are acceptable, skirts and poofy pantaloons are not. Do not wear black or white as these colors do not show up well on film (each individual evaluation takes over an hour, so they are done with the video record rather than on the spot). The cost is $60; please pre-register so that there are enough materials for everyone participating.
The seminars on Nov. 5th and 6th are in Alexandria, VA; please register at http://www.mollyguard.com/event/20287681. All other workshops, classes, and Evaluation will be held at Meadow Mill, just off of I-83 in Baltimore. If you get lost, please call the club at (410) 235-7000.
If you are not sure what level to take, you may try all 3 evening classes on 10/31, 11/1, and 11/2, but only pay for the session that's right for you. There are no refunds, so if you are not sure you can make it, wait and pay the door price. You can call Piper at (410) 733-0536 to hold a place for you.
