First two days at JCD

Maddie and I started our Hawken Project at Jordan Center Dance yesterday. One of our friends, Mackenzie, is also doing her senior project at the studio, and we all arrived at 11:00 am. Monday was not a typical day, as we had to go over goals for our entire project and plan out a general schedule (shown below):

Recital:
- Show lineup
- Dress Rehearsal (May 24th, 2013): scheduling, setup, gift bags, order balls
- T-shirts: labeling
- Get balloons
- Items for setup: boards, tables, signs, merchandise
- Yearbook (needs to be made/ads)
- Tickets
- Reserve seating for senior parents
- Costumes
- Lanyards for volunteers
- Music: pre-show mix, 2 big CDs for dances
- Slideshow: get pictures!
- Senior pictures and paragraphs
Daily:
- Make sure things look good/are put away properly
- No bobby pins on floor!
- Clean mirrors and front door glass
- Go through props for KAR dance competition (next weekend)

We also chose a song for our senior dance at recital (we can't reveal it yet... it's supposed to be a surprise), and learned some choreography for the recital's opening number.

Today we arrived at the studio at 10:00 am and took the adult tap class that Jordan, one of our sponsors, teaches. There were four adults who took the class, and the three of us stood behind them. It was an upbeat class and we learned a combination to Candy by Robbie Williams. Our main task for the day, though, was to make a board about recital and summer opportunities at the studio (it is pictured below). We also helped Ms. Mary, our other sponsor, organize recital costumes for the recreational dancers at our studio.

Overall, a great first two days at JCD! We are now taking a break before our classes begin for the night at 5:00.
