2011 TRIP Dance Company Auditions

2011 TRIP Dance Company Auditions

The TRIP Dance Company is holding its auditions for the 2011-2012 season.

TRIP, which stands for Technique, Rehearse, Implement, and Perform, was founded 11 years ago by Helena Sullivan, owner of the Stowe Dance Academy, with a mission to promote opportunities for dancers to strengthen dance skills in the genres of ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, and more. Additionally, TRIP provides opportunities to compete as a team at regional New England competitions, to take dance classes from world-renowned teachers, and to perform at community events.

This year, auditions will be held in June at The Stowe Dance Academy, 177 S. Main Street, Stowe, VT.  There will be a 2-day choreography workshop at the end of August, and rehearsals will begin in early September.

Ages 8-11:  Monday, June 13, 4:00-6:00 pm

Ages 12 and up:  Tuesday, June 14, 4:00-6:00 pm

Registration materials can be downloaded and, upon completion, can be left at the studio in the “black box” ahead of the audition or brought to the studio on the day of the audition.

2010 Summer Camps, Intensives and Open Class Information

Stowe Dance Academy is pleased to announce its 2010 Summer Dance Program. SDA’s Summer Dance Intensives are designed for both the young dancer who is looking for a fun filled week full of dance, but also for the aspiring future dancer who wants a pre-professional program in a healthy and welcoming environment. Class size will be limited and each dancer will receive plenty of individualized attention.
SDA’s goal is to create versatile dancers and looks forward to continue in that tradition into its 20th year!

Hair, Make-up & Extras for Peter Pan 2010

Hair/ Make up & things you need to supply your Dancer/Child with –

For Peter Pan

➢ Theatrical (peach) ballet tights with feet for Peter Pan.  Convertible tights for older girls are okay if the hole is tucked in.  No shiny tights
➢ Black or white shoes for boys (see your dance). 

➢ A nude (skin colored) leotard to wear under costumes, if you have costume changes. 

➢ Hair Items:  black or brown hair elastics, hairpins, hair net, hair gel and hairspray – your own brush or comb.  Hair is in a low bun (nape of neck),– please come to Dibden with hair done on the day of the dress rehearsal and for all the shows.

For Peter Pan and after Intermission dances

➢ Make Up:  Everyone must come with their own makeup kit to include the following items:
o Base/Foundation – skin colored or slightly darker
o Blush – pinkish (on cheekbones – heavier than street makeup)
o Brown Eye Shadow (on lid)
o Liquid Eyeliner (slightly bigger than outline of eye)
o Eyebrow Pencil (fill in eyebrows lightly)
o Mascara (except for Ballet Int 3 & up – False Eyelashes and Glue)
o Powder (lightly cover entire face)
o Red Lipstick (bring to Dibden to apply after costumes are on)

Important: No make up necessary for Dress rehearsal.  Makeup should be done at home (except lipstick)- kit will be used to touch up as needed.  It gets very crowded in the dressing rooms, so parents that are not working back stage will not be permitted to do their child’s makeup in the dressing rooms.  We would really appreciate your cooperation on this!!!
