Hello dancers, (please relay this message to Kenneth, Kristian, Julian, Tasha, Leticia, and anyone else who might not have this site address!!)
Practice this Sunday (July 5) will be entirely devoted to:
1) completing the Cordillera suite (runthrough + blocking Uyauy + finishing Idudu)
2) teaching the boys Sohten
3) teaching the girls Bulaklakan
4) going through the Spanish suite up until the HSM finale (so cotillion will be practiced on Sunday, HSM will NOT be practiced).
In line with this, I will need specific groups of people at practice at VERY specific times (DON'T BE LATE!):
a - ONLY new guys learning Uyauy will have to be at practice by 10am. This will give me the opportunity to focus on only your technique and knowledge of the choreography. (JORGE - please be present.)
b - Juniors learning Idudu will have to be at practice by 11:15am. Idudu must be completed by the end of this time slot. Bulaklakan girls (Gladys, Kristal, Emily, Eva, Anna, Vanessa) must be at practice by 11:15am. (EVA - please be present to teach Bulaklakan.) Teaching Sohten to the boys will also be at this time.
c - Everyone,especially dancers in the cotillion number (Jorge, Anthony, Jamie, EJ, Nicole, Jezah, Vera, Tanya, Kristal) must be at practice by 12:45pm.
Any loose ends will be tied together within the last 30-60 minutes of practice.
Practice on Wednesday, July 8 (6-10pm, 6767 Cote-des-neiges) will be entirely devoted to the HSM choreography. I will need the cotillion couples (Jorge, Anthony, Jamie, EJ, Nicole, Jezah, Vera, Tanya, Kristal), Estudiantina girls (Vanessa, Anna, Marie, Karyn, Gladys, Eva), and Johannes to be present. Kristal and Johannes, I would like for you to be at practice by 6:00. The rest of the cotillioners and Estudiantina girls, I only want you there by 7:30. I want the choreography to be at least 75% finished by the end of the night.
See you Sunday,
Ling
