DAW DAZZLERS
Fall Festivals
Dazzler Dance Wear
We know everyone is very
busy this time of year. We
have decided to cancel our
fall festival rehearsals and
performances for this
season. Please take a look
at the calendar and make
note of these changes.
We have sizings for Dazzler jackets at the front desk for ADULT
sizes. Sizings for YOUTH jackers will be available sometime the
week of August 25-28. We will be sizing all new Dazzlers and
charging your account $85 for a jacket. Any returning Dazzler who
needs a jacket should be sure to get sized by 8/28/14. #
Choreography
We are almost finished with
our dance assignments.
Some dances will be
choreographed before
November. We will most
likely have the dance
assignments to you before
Oct. 1st. Remember,
choreography fees are due
by 10/15/14, or on the day
a specific piece is set. So be
on the lookout!
This season we are not requiring "FULL" uniforms. The only required
Dazzler attire is a jacket, which should be worn to and from Dazzler
events, competitions, and during awards ceremony. #

*Mr. Brian has requested a pair of sneakers or jazz funk shoes to use
sometimes in jazz (Hot Shots and Super Stars only). You do not have to
spend a lot of money on these shoes, we recommend a “converse” style
shoe. If you have hip hip boots from last year, those will work too.

Fund-Raising Team The following parents have volunteered to be a part of the Dazzler Fundraising Team. They will
meet periodically to brainstorm and organize various fundraising events. The purpose of the
team is to provide opportunities for individuals to raise funds to help ease the financial
obligations of Dazzlers. If you are interested in being on the Fund Raising team, please e-mail

Solos All Dazzlers who were on the team last season are allowed to compete a solo this year. Keep in
mind that this does not mean you HAVE to compete a solo. Solos are very time consuming and
expensive, in addition solos can sometimes add extra stress to dancers who may not be emotionally
ready to have the pressure of dancing alone on stage. If you are unsure if your dancer is ready for
a solo think about these things: ✦
Are you prepared financially for your dancers to compete a solo? Choreography - $250$500, Weekly rehearsals - $15-$20 per week, Costume - $100-$200, Entry fees - $400
✦
Are you able to find time for your dancer to rehearse on a weekly basis?
✦
Is your dancer ready emotionally? Dancing on stage alone is very different than dancing in a
group. If you are unsure if your dancer is ready, send us an email. We will be honest and let you know what
we think would be best! If you plan on doing a solo, we must know by October 1, 2014. Your
choreography must be complete by December 19, 2014. You should schedule your choreography
with the choreographer of your choice. If you will need to use the DAW facility, you will need to
schedule this with Ms. KC. !

Below is a list of choreographers you may wish to use for solos, their fee, and the best way
to contact them. Remember, it is YOUR responsibility to schedule your choreography. If you
will need to use the DAW facility, you should speak with Ms. KC. Payment should be made
