Solo Showcase
The Showcase will be held on Friday, June 2nd
in the Concert Hall at the Performing Arts Center at 6:30pm.
We will continue to feature our solos, duets, and trios in a Solo Showcase performance. The numbers performed in the showcase will be any solos, duets, and trios that
have been in production the past dance season. This Showcase will give the dancers a
chance to shine as well as keep the recital length shorter and ensure the girls give their
best at all shows.
Parents, family, and friends are encouraged to attend. We will not charge admission but are asking for a $2 donation. We will be donating all proceeds to the Blackburn
Center. The Blackburn Center has been providing services to victims of domestic and sexual violence and other types of violence and crime in Westmoreland County. Seating for
the Solo Showcase will be a first come, first served basis. It will be a fun, laid back experience. If you only wish to watch your dancer perform, you may leave when they are finished.
The Showcase line-up is included in this booklet so you know approximately what
time your child will be performing. You may stay and watch the entire showcase or come
and go as you would like. We will have ushers making sure you enter and exit between
numbers so the dancers do not get distracted. Again, any family member or friend is welcome to attend!!

PICTURE DAY INFORMATION
Seton Hill University Dance Academy Picture Days
Saturday and Sunday, Feb 25th and 26th
Schedule on opposite page
SHUDA Program Ads
Each year, SHUDA publishes a full color program book that features group photos of all the classes, the
Diamonds team, and soloists that prepare through the program. Every dancer receives one of these program books. SHUDA families have the option of purchasing a full page, half page, or quarter page ad to be
included in this color program book. The ad features a full color photo of your dancer, their name, and
some text that you provide. Please see the order form in this booklet for program ad prices. In order to aid
TeaRose Photography in taking all of these photo shots in two days we place some restrictions on the
individual photos taken for the program ads at the studio.
For Everyone
Each class, Diamonds team, and anyone who is preparing a solo/duet/trio dance through SHUDA will be
scheduled a ten-minute time slot to have a photo taken on SHUDA Picture Days. Please arrive 15 minutes
before your scheduled photo time, we will not wait for late dancers.
For those who purchase a Program Ad
Dancers who have purchased an ad in the program will have an individual photo taken immediately after
the group photo with the costume you’ve indicated on your program ad order form (one costume ONLY). For Program Ads you must purchase and pay in advance for your ad (form on page 11) and also buy a
Tea Rose photo package (form on page 6-7). TeaRose photo packages can be purchased by bringing the
completed TeaRose Order Form and payment on Picture Day. Program Ad participants are limited to 1
individual costume and 3 poses during the scheduled time on SHUDA picture days. Please indicate on your
Program Ad order form the costume you intend your dancer to wear for the individual picture to aid us in
scheduling and staying on time. Deadline for program ad orders is Feb. 17th.
NOTE: If you want your dancer to have individual photos taken in multiple costumes OR you are not buying
a Program Ad but would like photos of your dancer, we ask you to schedule a photo session at the TeaRose
studio. Studio fee is $30 for solo photos in one costume or $45 for multiple costumes.
From March 14th-21st TeaRose Photography will put the individual ad photos online
at www.tearosephotography.com for you to view and choose the photo for your package. The photo you
choose for your package will also be the photo for your program ad (no exceptions). To be included in the
program, you must go online to choose your package/program ad photo by March 21st. If you do not make
your choice by March 21st, we will choose for you.
We do ask parents to remain outside the room on picture days. Too many bodies and voices in
the room causes confusion and tension for the dancers. The dance instructors know the best
poses for the dancers to hold for great photos and the photographers know how best to take the
great photos. We ask that you trust in their experience and knowledge to get the best photos of
your dancer.
Please remember that SHUDA handles the program ads and Tea Rose Photography handles the
actual photos.

 All rehearsals are CLOSED REHEARSALS. NO PARENTS will be permitted to watch.
We need students’ full attention during the limited amount of rehearsal time we
have and parents watching can be a distraction during the rehearsal process. We
appreciate your understanding.

Someone will be at the door by 4:30PM for check-in. Please arrive on time. We
keep all doors locked for safety reasons, and cannot guarantee once rehearsals
begin that a monitor will be at the door. Performers will be dismissed at 8:00 pm
