Teachers going to Groove Street

Miss Karen, Miss Richelle and Miss Nicole will be at Groove Street. When we start on Saturday morning we will be checking on our dancers to make sure they are in level that best suits them. 

​

What to bring to Groove Street - label items with your name.

• Your dance bag (keep it zipped up!)

• Water Bottle - (Very important with so many classes back to back)

• Snacks - please stay away from peanut/nut snacks - there are many that are anaphylactic

• Dance shoes, ballet, jazz, lyrical (no tap this year.)

• Dance attire, including ballet attire - that dancers would wear to class at the studio. 

• Hair can be in a pony tail, securely fixed so you are not having to fix it after every turn. 

• KCDS Studio jacket. 

​​

What you don't need to bring

• Dancers won't need hip hop shoes. Wear your runners, (less chance of getting those shoes lost)

• Dancers won't need their tap shoes. 

​

Lunch

It is best to have a lunch organized so when lunch break starts dancers can eat.  Lunch is 30 minutes. Being in down town Vancouver there are several food outlets close by. 

​

Audition Class

We are fortunate to have an audition class on the schedule for Intermediate and Senior Dancers (Juniors do not audition.) These classes are intended to give the dancers experience in the audition process. KCDS encourages ALL of our Dancers to take part.  Think of the Audition Class as 'another' class - attend, have fun and enjoy the experience!

​

Keep those bags zipped up

Dancers will need their dance shoes and dance bag.  Bags normally are kept in the dance room with you. Please remember when you leave your bag - ZIP IT UP - don't walk away and leave your bag open. Don't have valuable items in your bag.  If you must keep valuables ($, phone)  - please make sure they are tucked in a pocket/down the side of the bag/hidden - not laying on top.  Keep your bag zipped up please!

​

Buddy up please

If your dancer is going to be moving around the hotel without an adult please speak with them about being with a buddy. The hotel is full of dancers for the weekend, as lovely as that is - it's important to remember that we are still in a public building with many people we do not know. No one is too old to have a friend by their side.
