Casting Week Begins!

Hey all, casting week is here!

21st April - 24th April

We will be conducting production castings this week, hence there will not be regular classes. The session times posted on the website for this week are dedicated to the teaching of CASTING ROUTINES.

Those interested to participate in Production 2008 need to:

1. Pick any 2 out of the 4 routines to learn

HIP HOP JAZZ

HIP HOP STREET

CONTEMPORARY JAZZ

THEATRICAL

(There are 2 separate sessions allocated to EACH dance, so you only need to show up for ONE session)

2. You will need to register for a time slot for casting(auditions) during any of these practice sessions (MON & TUES)

3. Castings(auditions) will be held on Wednesday and Thursday (only come during your allocated time slots - see bullet point number 2)

4. There will be optional sessions held at 6:00 to 6:30 on Wednesday and Thursday before castings begin for the revision of steps (casting routines). Those who wish to revise the routines taught during the week are welcome to participate.


Don't think of it as a scary, oh-no-I-can't-dance-in-front-of-strangers situation. It's a very open and friendly casting process, and we just want to see that you're dedicated and passionate about wanting to be in the production. Dance-wise, practise makes perfect right? See ya there guys!

Temporary Webbie.

Hey all!

Flare's website is down for the time being.
So please check out http://flaredance.hearne.com.au/ for the latest updates until we rectify the problem.

Thanks!

Camp Time!

A very big THANK YOU to all of you who supported Flare in the Night Market on Fri in every way possible:
- committing so much time and turning up consistently for rehearsals and putting on such a wonderful show,
- volunteering your time and energy and lovely voices to help mend the food stall,
- offering usage of your utensils during food preparation,
- dragging your friends to buy food from us
- just being there at our stall and making it look so hip and happening!

Now that that's done,

What time is it?

It's CAMP TIME!

Here are some pictures of the camp site to get you pumped up as we anticipate the camp that'll be taking place in less than 2 weeks time!

(For those who have not registered, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Email events@flaredance.com now!)


flying fox.

BBQ area (see so much space for us to do stuff!! we don't even need to share campsite with other people!)

exterior of the cabins we'll be sleeping in.

the bunk beds! yayy so fun! bring your own linen or sleeping bag to line the beds!


Those are only a few pictures, for the REAL DEAL, you've got to be there yourself.
And if those serene pictures of the campsite aren't enough to convince you of taking time off from the bustling city and heading to the country with Flare, there's more!

CHECK THIS OUT!

TWO trampolines! *boing boing*


And SWINGS!


Those are good enough reasons for me.
I've signed up for the camp!
Have you?

Night Market.

Hey Flare!

Come down to the Concrete Lawn (near the Union House) on Fri, 11th Apr and watch your fellow dancers dance their hearts out!
The performance will be starting at 6.45pm but be there slightly earlier and get yourself good standing areas to cheer us on.
It will feel so much better for those on stage when they see familiar faces :)

And come buy food from the Flare food stall! We will be selling corn in a cup, nachos and cheese fries.
If you can, be clad in a disco-themed attire when you come by and visit us.
We're aiming for a disco theme for our stall so be part of it by dressing in your glittery and shimmery disco-ey accessories and clothes!

It'll be so much fun, see you there!

Volunteers Needed!

This is a call for help to all Flarians!

As stated in the post below, Flare will be putting up a food stall as well as performing several dance routines. Therefore, we are short handed when it comes to running of the stall (i.e cooking food, selling food, collecting cash!)

Don't worry if you think cooking is not what you're good at, or that you're terrible with handling money, etc.
We really need your help and we'll teach you what to do. It'll be fun, you get to be on the other side of the table while everyone else pushes their way around to try to get to you! :)
It's not pure hard labour, promise!

So please drop an email to publicity@flaredance.com stating that you are interested to help, along with your contact number.
Volunteers will be running on a shift basis, so you'll still be able to go to other stalls and enjoy the night.

MUOSS Night Market.

On Friday evening, 11th Apr, where will YOU be?

If you've got plans, cancel them!
If you've got no plans, hear me out!

Flare will be putting up a performance during Night Market (at 6.45pm!) so do turn up to support your fellow dancers if you won't be dancing this time around. The routines will be styled hip hop jazz, and would definitely be a crowd-pleaser. So, cheer us on by watching the gig, it'll really be encouraging to the dancers on stage to know at least a few people in the audience!

Other than that, Flare will be setting up a food stall too! We'll be selling... (drum rolls please!)
Cheese fries, nachos with salsa sauce and corn in a cup!
Come to our stall and support Flare by buying the food items.
Don't worry, you'll be in for a good deal, cuz it's going to be so YUM YUM! :)
You won't regret it, you'll even come back for more!

No excuses, see you at Night Market!
Bring your cameras!

Flare Welcome Camp 2008.

For those who missed Picnic in the Park and for those who had heaps of fun at the picnic, here's an event that you should not miss!

It's time for Flare's Welcome Camp!!


It is a really really good chance to get to know your fellow dancers and friends better, especially those planning to be part of the production later in the year.
We'll be having activities such as archery, kayaking, flying fox, campfire, talent night and many other group games. You don't get to do this everyday, so take time off and have some fun with Flare! These 2 days will only be dedicated to F-U-N!

Here are the camp details:
Venue: Log Cabin Camp, Creswick
Date: 25th April - 26th April (Anzac Weekend)
Price: $83 (Early Bird Discount - pay before 15th of April)
$90
RSVP: 20th April 2008 (events@flaredance.com)

The price listed above includes ALL COST - accommodation, transportation, four meals and exclusive use of campsite facilities. All you have to bring is some bed linen to line the beds (or sleeping bags if you prefer) and YOURSELF!

Do not fret over the cost, you'll realise after the entire event, that it was truly money well spent!

This is for sure to be Flare's most anticipated event of the year! (Other than the production of course *wink*)
