C is for Chicago By Audition Carise Comstock, CIC Director: cicnssd@gmail.com Barb Wowk, CIC Accounting: nssdance@aol.com CIC Calendar: (http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cicnssd%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago) Phone: 847-432-2060 I. History Andye Jamieson and David Camit, former co –directors of Dance2xs Chicago, founded C is for Chicago (CIC) in September 2005. The focus of CIC is to introduce the importance of performance to young, hip-hop dancers. Choreography and skill improvement are also priority within the CIC vision. There are so many young dancers that are amazing when it comes to learning the “counts” and “steps” of a dance routine, but lack the performance aspect. To us, the ability of performance is the most important factor that a dancer of any age can posses. All Instructors for CIC come from the professional hip-hop group Dance2xs Chicago. Members of Dance2xs Chicago represent some of the most experienced and well-rounded dancers of the Chicagoland area. CIC is being formulated under the same principles as Dance2xs Chicago: professionalism, uniqueness, and performance. II. CIC: The group and rehearsal days CIC has dancers that range in age from 8 – 17. CIC stresses the importance of placement based on ability more than age. All dancers must audition once a year to be apart of CIC and are NOT guaranteed a spot even if they were with the group the previous year. Mini’s: This group is designed for dancers ages 8-10 and aims at honing their hip hop technique while improving their ability to pick up new styles of choreography and enhance their level of performance. This group does not compete, but instead will perform in other shows later in the year, which will be determined by the Director. Training: Dancers on training (all over the age of 10) still need to improve their level of performance and skill. These dancers do not compete, but need another year or two of practice and focus before they are at the competition level. With this group, there is more emphasis on attention to detail, facials, peer/director feedback, etc. Training dancers will perform in other shows later in the year, which will be determined by the Director. NEW - CIC Non-Competitive: This level is for the advanced dancer (over the age of 10) that still want to be involved with the team but cannot make the personal time commitment or financial commitment to competing. All conventions and extra activities will be optional. These members are not required to perform in any shows, nor are they required to pay a costume fee. CIC Competitive: This is for the advanced level dancer (over the age of 10) that has the commitment and dedication for performance and competition. Members will attend the one-hour company class and will also stay an additional 45 minutes to prepare for upcoming performances and competitions. Members will be required to attend all conventions, competitions, and performances. Being a member of this elite group is a privilege and should be treated as such. Note: If a student makes it as an advanced level dancer on CIC, that member and their family will choose if they would like to be on the Non-Competitive or Competitive team. This decision is a year-long commitment and cannot be changed until the next year’s audition. NEW: Some training members may be invited to attend CIC competition class for a 6-week trial period. During this time, the member will attend both their training class and the competition class – at no additional charge. The director will evaluate the member on their dedication, attitude, and most importantly, their ability to quickly pick up and perform choreography with the rest of the CIC competition team. After this trial period, the Director will decide if they can move up to CIC Competitive or not. Members joining CIC Competitive will pay the difference. If the director decides that the member is not yet ready to compete, then the member will maintain their level as Training. The director’s decision is final, and the member will be given an explanation as to why either decision was made. Rehearsals will be as follows:
