Concert 2011
IT’S DANCE SENSATION CONCERT SEASON – Woohoo!
On December 3rd Dance Sensation Lane Cove & Ermington will be taking to the stage
at the BRAND NEW “Concourse” theatre at Chatswood.
This is the all important DANCE SENSATION CONCERT BOOKLET which covers everything you need to know.
For first timers don’t be overwhelmed by all the info, just go through and highlight what applies to your class.
We are in a new venue this year so please bear with us as we settle into using a new space. We have had to increase ticket prices slightly to cover the cost of such a professional space and once you step inside you will not be disappointed. It is beautifully brand new with Stalls and Balcony seating on plush red comfortable padded chairs, excellent sightlines and acoustics, state of the art lighting and audio and most importantly (all our past audiences & performers will agree) – AIR CONDITIONING! Travel & parking should also be easier and no lining up for ticket sales this year as it’s all done through Ticketek! Take a peek at www.theconcourse.com.au
In the booklet where we refer to LC = Lane Cove Studio & ER = Ermington Studio
Studio addresses –
DS Lane Cove DS Ermington
41 – 43 Farran St, Lane Cove Rydalmere East Public School, Ermington (Enter via Maling St)
ALL students should now be practising their performance items once a day. Happy Practising!

CONCERT TICKETS
If your child is in two concerts and you are only buying tickets to one of the concerts we will provide supervision backstage for the concert that you (the parent) is not attending so that you can drop your child off before the concert and pick them up afterwards. If your child is in two concerts but you are only attending one please let Elizabeth know asap. At the end of each concert we will bring them to the stage door (Anderson St) to be collected by you. We intend for the 1pm concert to finish at 3:20pm and the 5pm to finish at 7:05pm.
Our HOT Dance Sensation Concert Tickets will go on sale Saturday 12th November from 10am.
Tickets sales are a little different this year. The Concourse does all their ticketing through Ticketek. Your options are below…

If you want to have a seat (for free) for your performer (next to you & your guests) you must book ALL your tickets over the phone or in person.
All parents of students aged 7yrs/under must book performers seats as we will not keep the students backstage for very long.
Capacity permitting we will also set aside some general performer’s seats at the back of the venue for older students to watch the show once they have performed.

THE CONCERTS
Read further concert order above to see if you/your child is in Act One or Act Two.
All performers will be on a door list to allow them backstage. If any parents need to be on this door list to help with costume changes etc you must let Elizabeth know asap. It is important that we have this door list so that no one can wander in off the street and come backstage. If your child is in two concerts but you are only attending one please let Elizabeth know asap. At the end of each concert we will bring them to the stage door (Anderson St) to be collected by you. We intend for the 1pm concert to finish at 3:20pm and the 5pm to finish at 7:05pm.
If hair & make up is not your thing – Samantha (one of our assistant teachers) is here to save you. For $15 she will do superbly beautiful hair and make up for your child. Limited spots available, book in a time with Elizabeth.
1pm Concert/5pm Concert – All students in Act One are to arrive at the Stage Door (Anderson St) The Concourse, Chatswood in costume with hair and make up already done promptly at 12:30pm (1pm concert)/4:30pm (5pm concert). Please take traffic and parking into consideration when planning your trip. There is an underground car park at The Concourse which is free for 30 mins which may be good for drop off if you have multiple costumes. We suggest parking at Westfield or Chatswood Chase (both 3 hours free parking). If you wish to arrive earlier please note students will not be allowed backstage before 12:30pm.
If your child is not in Act One they will sit with you in the audience. At the end of Act One we will call them backstage (they will come from audience up stairs onto stage and we will take them backstage for Act Two).
Half way through Act One we will make an announcement for students who have already performed to be collected at the audience doors to sit with their parents. Older students will be taken to performer’s seating section.
ALL PERFORMERS are in the FINALE dance at the end of the concert where they will come on stage to bow and dance and awards will be presented. All PERFORMERS will be called backstage for the finale towards the end of Act Two. They will come from the audience up onto the stage and we will take them backstage. Please supply pom poms for your performer for the finale. Pom poms for the boys are optional, they can use their hands to dance with if preferred. Pom poms can be hired from Dance Sensation for $3 and must be returned on Costume Return day.
