In addition to technique and composition classes, the girls in the Winterim Dance Class are learning about the process of taking a dance from the studio to the stage. For this mock production, the girls are responsible for: choosing the type and length of each dance, casting decisions, creating studio rehearsal schedules, creating technical and dress rehearsal schedules, creating a program order for the production, making costume decisions, creating a budget that addresses all production costs including fees for studio and theater rental, lighting and costume designers, printing programs, tickets, and posters, paying for theater personnel, shipping costs for any special costume items orders, and finally, paying dancer fees - if there is money left in the budget!
