MICHELE’S DANCE ACADEMY—HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR

Michele’s Dance Academy will perform with the Las Cruces Chamber Ballet on December 20, 21 and 22, 2019 at the NMSU Atkinson Music Recital Hall.    The Las Cruces Chamber Ballet will be performing a condensed version of the “Nutcracker” Ballet during Act 1 and Michele’s Dance Academy will continue the excitement in a holiday themed spectacular.

The Holiday Spectacular will be comprised of special holiday themed dance production numbers that help tell the story of a mischievous elf entitled “Chaos at Christmas”.

Participation in the Holiday Spectacular is optional, but definitely encouraged!

How do I participate?

In order to perform in the Holiday Spectacular, you must pay a production/costume fee of $95 and attend classes at Michele’s Dance Academy.   The first payment of $47.50 is due on September 1st and no later than September 15th with the balance due on or before October 15th.

***Any Pre-Dance, Beginning Dance, Creative Movement and Hip Hop for Tots students that are in the Holiday Spectacular will also have a part in one night of the Las Cruces Chamber Ballet’s “Nutcracker”.  

***Any other dancer (Level A, B, C, D) is welcome to audition for “Nutcracker” and perform in “Nutcracker” as well as the Spectacular.

Rehearsals

The dancers will learn their dances for the Spectacular during classes in the Fall.   Additional   rehearsals will be held at the NMSU Atkinson Music Recital Hall on December 18th and 19th.   Complete rehearsal information will be handed out with your Spectacular Costume.

Costumes

There will be one costume for your child’s Level (Pre Dance, Beginning Dance, Level A, Level B, Level C and Level D).   This costume will be used for all dances except Hip Hop.

If you are in any of the Hip Hop Classes (Hip Hop for Tots, Level A Hip Hop, Level B Hip Hop, Level C Hip Hop, Level D Hip Hop, Hip Hop Dances), and wish to perform in a special large production number specifically for Hip Hop, there is a required separate costume and therefore, an additional costume fee of $95.00.   It can also be paid for in two payments as above.
