HOME PRACTISE - HOW TO ACCESS TROUPE PRACTISE VIDEOS
Home practise is an absolute non negotiable requirement for all Accelerate Students.
We always try to make the practise videos of routines accessible to the students. All the routines will be posted on the accelerate page of our website within the information portal. Students need to log into the portal (via academyofdance.biz) using password "2023 Excellence” (there is a space and it’s case sensitive) and click on the accelerate button to access. Copies of emails and updates for parents will also be kept in the same places so that everyone can easily access all relevant Accelerate and group information. Home practise is expected at least twice a week.
COMPETITION ENTRY'S FEES
All competitions have entry fees for troupe students. Some competitions include the entry fee plus an audience fee so that audience can watch for free. Other competitions include the entry fee only and audience members pay to watch on the day. ADV will add competition charges to parents accounts in Term 2 via the customer portal which will cover all competition entry fees for the year, as long as prices for all are available at that time (otherwise a 2nd charge will be sent in Term 3)
UNIFORM FOR COMPETITIONS
A reminder that all accelerate students will need the ADV uniform for competitions. This includes
-
ADV Jacket
-
ADV T-Shirt
-
ADV Leggings or Black leggins
ORDERING JACKETS: ADV Jackets can be ordered directly from our supplier EVO Sports Wear. Please note that the jackets take 6 weeks to be delivered after orders close.
A link for ordering will be sent out next week and will also be included on the accelerate page in our information portal. Orders will commence from 15th February
COSTUMES FOR TROUPES
In 2023 we are plan to continue our hire arrangement for troupe costumes rather than parents having to purchase the costumes at full cost. This means that each troupe dancer will be charged a hire fee for their troupe costumes to their account. Troupe families will be responsible for caring for the costume and accessories for the year until all competitions and performances have finished. Costume returns will happen in December. Costume hire invoices will be sent out in Term 1 or 2.
ACCELERATE SKILLS PROGRAM
Students in our competition program who are showing skills in the top range of their class level will be invited to an skill extension class. The class takes place on a Saturday. This allows us to extend those students above and beyond the current skill level that we are currently working on in jazz and lyrical classes.
