GCAPA Silhouettes
So you want to be a Silhouette! The glitz, the glam, the shoes!!!
It sounds like fun, but in reality the performances of a Silhouette are the reward for the hard work that it takes to learn the choreography, perfect the formations, and then start all over by doing it in the shoes! If you're interested in becoming a Silhouette, read on.
Eligibility
1. Dancers who are enrolled in 2 Ballet classes, 1 Jazz class, and 1 Lyrical class.
2. Dancers must be at least 5' tall. 13yos who are not 5' tall may be eligible.
3. Know the routines! Learn through our video library or take a camp.
4. Requirements:
-
Must know the choreography for each routine performing.
-
Must be able to kick eye-high with a straight supporting leg and straight back while arms are behind back.
-
Must attend the first week of classes the first week of August.
-
Must attend additional rehearsals as listed on the Google Calendar.
5. All new Silhouettes will endure an audition process to determine which routines in which they will participate. This process will cover kicks and choreography.
6. Silhouettes Boot Camp is not for learning routines. It is for determining the placement of the line and all of the transitions and placements that come as a result of the line. Line is determined strictly by height.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: August 1
****Please note that Performance Troupe/Silhouettes has NOTHING to do with the Christmas Parade as they are two entirely separate activities.****
