Updates!

Hello! (:

Just some general (but very important!) updates here:

1. Dance Camp

Dance Camp 2010 is coming! :DDDD

But of course, it’s not just all fun and games; we hope that after Dance Camp,

  1. A greater sense of unity and camaraderie will be fostered;
  2. Dancers will gain a deeper understanding of the various genres of dance and
  3. Discipline in all aspects, not just during dance practices but in etiquette, and time management, will be instilled

Here are the details:

Confirmed dates: 2-4 December (stayover still unconfirmed, will update again)

Camp fee: We’ll try as much as possible to keep this low, but in the event of no funding from the school, everyone is to pay $28.00 each (will be updated again as cost may change according to attendance and funding)

Camp committees: Here are the names of the I/Cs and AI/Cs for the committees, list of committee members will be released again soon (Do remember to sign up with your div heads if you haven’t!)

- Camp I/C: Xin Yun

- Camp 2I/C: Amanda

- Programmes: Jia Han (I/C), Kah How, Kelly

- Logistics: Celine (I/C), Simin

- Campfire: Wei Cher (I/C)

- Games: Jing Yao (I/C), Jody

- IT: Kah How (I/C), Wei Cher

Camp groupings: Groupings will be a mix of dancers from all 3 divs, the names will be released at a later date

2. Dance Night 2011

Currently, we’re facing two major problems with Dance Night 2011: Administrative and funding issues. The school has decided against Dance Night 2011, reason being its SYF year for Modern, but this reason is arguable and we’ll take it that Dance Night 2011 would still go on as of now.

This year, MAD ExCo is proposing to bring Dance Night out of school with reasons as follows:

· Allows dancers to gain exposure and a once-in-a-lifetime experience

· Encourages dancers to improve their standards as standards have to be much higher if we were to bring Dance Night out of school

· Better lighting, sound system, dance floor and seating capacity

· Increase ticket price, and thus ticket sales

Whether or not it will be in or out of school, we’ll update you guys again later.

As for funding, the school has cut funding for Dance Night which means that we’ll get $0 from the school. Assuming that all tickets will be sold, the projected profit for Dance Night in school would be approximately $4000.00, while the projected profit for Dance Night outside would be approximately $20,000.00. **Do note that all these are just projected estimations, ie. The real profits may differ quite a bit due to changes in spending.

That’s all for now!

Do keep a look out for more updates! (:
