Viktor Yeliohin International Ballet Academy

Update from November 28th 

Welcome to Nutcracker Performance Week!!!

 

It is finally here! I know it can be overwhelming for first-year parents, but don't worry, it will be over before you know it. Tonight is our final IN STUDIO rehearsal. Nothing has changed for tonight. No makeup, no costumes. Come dressed in a leotard, skirt, and tights (NOT the new tights). Water only, please eat before arriving. The carpool line will start at 4:30. Please do NOT arrive earlier than 4:30. Both Marie and I work other jobs and there will be no one there to supervise dancers. If you have tickets to pick up, I will have all of the tickets that are PAID for with me at the carpool line. If you have not paid for the tickets you have reserved, please do this ASAP. 

 

If you have charges on your account besides the DVD, I will have an invoice for you. Please have your invoice paid before Thursday's dress rehearsal. 

 

A REMIND text will be sent out when different roles are finished tonight. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please see the second email that was sent out this past weekend. To sign up, text @b3kf96e to the number 81010.

 

VYIBA has a YouTube Channel!!!! Hopefully, you saw the teaser that was posted on Social Media. The entire video that was filmed during a ballet class and rehearsal is now up on our YouTube Channel. Share it with friends and family! https://youtu.be/y2jHUJjJgys

 

I know I put out a plea for volunteers in my last email, but now it is EMERGENT. We NEED Black Curtain Security volunteers. Thank you to the 2 parents who signed up for multiple slots after my last email. This is NOT enough. The safety and security of the dancers is our top priority. We can't do this if we don't have people there helping James. New this year, we need someone stationed inside of the bottom door of the auditorium from the time the doors open, until the end of the show. This person will get to watch the entire show. We just need you there telling people they need to use the top doors to exit the theater. There will be a rope across this area so it should be pretty obvious that these doors will not be for use this year, but we all know that sometimes people ignore ropes! Email me personally if this is something you are willing to help with. You do not need a ticket for the show if you do this job. 

 

I think that is all for now. You will most likely be getting an email each day this week from us. Please make sure you pay attention to them because they may have important updates for this week.

 

See everyone tonight!
