Megan Law Form

As with the past few years I need an early signup with the Megan's Law information, as the fair requires this for the entry tickets:

Performance

We have a total of 45 minutes to present our production. Like last year, the program will be made up of three parts:

Exhibition  Dances or Musical Numbers

These are well rehearsed and choreographed dances or musical numbers done by a single group or club in costume (Dudacka Polka).

Group Form

General Dance

General Dances are dances done by the enter group.  Come to the workshops  and sign up and you can perform. If you are not in a costume for the exhibition dances, the costume will be dark long skirt for the women, long black pants for the men and a white top.

Like the 2008 program, the dances will be trimmed to keep the program more interesting.

Audience participation

At the end of the program we will go down into the audience and teach one easy folk dance.

Rehearsal Workshops

There will be a total of three chances for the entire group to rehearse for the State Fair. The three will be free workshops sponsored by the council. Because of a number of complaints we will not be doing a run through at the SIFDAC opening party at Al and Teddy’s.

 The tickets will be distributed at the last rehearsal. Please attended or a least designate someone to pick them up for you.
