If you could not make it to a six week course, and/or want a refresher,
take one of the one-day workshops:
Dates of Workshops: (watch times & location)
Note: In order to be eligible to perform in the Studio Show, the workshop can not be your first and only choreography that you ever learned at this studio.
Registration coming soon
Sunday, Sept 11th, 5-6:30pm @ Perimeter Studio |
Costume Note: If you want to have first dibs on colors and sizes and save 5%, bring cash and take your costume home w/ you on that night. If you want to pay via check/Master/Visa, that is great too, but we will have to wait for the check to clear before you can take your new costume home. To be consistent, those that paid cash will have first dibs on costume colors once delayed costume pieces arrive.

We will discuss how to fit each piece of the costume to your size, shape, and height.
Cost Savings:
Just to be very clear: you will be required to come to (see dates below)
If you miss a practice and/or are more than 15 minutes late for whatever reason, you will be staged out of the dance, and you will not perform. No refunds.
I know this sounds harsh, but this is the only way to ensure that everyone is treated fairly & equally. This also ensures that all of our valuable time is used as constructively as possible. We have very little time to prepare you to be as fabulous as you possibly can be. The members of the Nazeem Allayl Studios' staff give their valuable time to your group, and everyone in the group is expected to take full advantage of it - hence not allowing anyone to be absenct or more than 15 minutes late.

*) Saturday vs. Sunday based on your group assignment |
Three lots of tickets will be available, one for sale at each studo . This allows us to have seperate "going on sale" time slots for each studio without bias.
Exception: The first day we sell tickets at Perimeter only !!!
Please note, historically we sell about half the tickets on the first day, with early birds lining up about one hour before ticket sales start. Please bring cash for larger orders, as we sell only up to 6 tickets on check; cash only for more tickets (and no, multiple checks don't count). So if you buy tickets for others, please get cash.

and from there on during regular shopping hours at all studios before/after class |
There is no refund on the tickets, but most likely you will be able to sell them to other students.
Q: I am new to the studio. I don't know the choreography being performed
yet. Can I still be in the Show?
A: Yes, but only if you take the one day workshop scheduled before the show
that teaches the choreography you want to perform. And, yes you will be
fabulous.
Q: Are there tryouts? I am not sure if I am good enough ...
A: No tryouts, any current student can perform, and you will be fabulous.
Q: I think I am tall/short/big boned/skinny/young/old, can I still perform?
A: Yes - everyone can perform. And, yes you will be fabulous.
Q: I can make all but one of the practices, can I still perform?
A: No. You miss any scheduled practice, and you are out.
Q: My schedule requires that I have to come 20 minutes late to one/some practices, and/or leave early one day. Can I still perform?
A: No, 15 minutes late and you are out.
Q: What happends if there is an emergency and I am late/miss a practice, can I still perform?
A: No. You miss any scheduled practice, and you are out.
Q: Isn't that a little too harsh? Miss one/late and you are out...
A: No. We will have 300 paying guests, who expect a good show. We have only one staging, 3 practices, one dress rehearsal, and the setup for a total of 6 meetings within a 7 week window to get ready for this show. There is no time for "late", there is no way to reschedule, leaving us with no other option.
Q: So you talk tough, but then make exceptions?
A: No. Absolutely not. The rules are the same for everyone - Schadia,
She'nez, Mahtaab right on down to the most beginner student we have.
Everyone is treated equally - no exceptions. Period.
Q: So you staged me out of the show because I could not make/was late to a practice. Can I get a refund on the costume/tickets?
A: No. These are special order, often to your size, and now used and yours to keep.
Q: When do the tickets go on sale?
A: Tickets go on sale at about a month before the show, the exact date is announced via email and the website. See above for the exact procedure and timeline of the ticket sales.
Q: Can I get a refund on the tickets (like if I am staged out of the show)?
A: No. But most likely other students will be more than happy to buy your tickets.
Q: Can my guest videotape my performance?
A: No. The choreographies are copyright protected by us. But we do videotape the show, which is for sale about 2 weeks after the show at the studio on a DVD w/menus and the proper copyright.
Q: Can they take pictures of me?
A: Not this time. Consumer camera's flash is not strong enough for the big stage, and only disturbs the video. Often, people stand up or hold a camera above their head to take a picture, which never looks good and always blocks someone elses view. We have an official photographer taking pictures and we post them on the website for you after the show.
Q: Do little children need tickets too?
A: Yes. And please make sure your guests are aware of this and don't bring babies without having a ticket for them. It breaks my heart to have to send them home. There is no room for "sitting on the lap". No exceptions.
Q: I want to be staged so that I perform in front of my guests from my good side. Can you accomodate that?
A: No. Too many changes will happen during the staging and later on to even consider such a request. What we try to do is to have circular components and position changes in the choreography so that your guests will see both the front, back and/or sides of your costume at most times. And if you buy premium tickets, you are guaranteed to be visible most of the time.
Q: Since the shows are now at the studio, which seats are the best?
A: That depends. The $35 tickets are obviously better than the $15 tickets, as there are no people in front of you. But the last (sold) row can stand up without obstructing anyone, and thus can see quite well, too. The individual dances and the troupe dances are focused towards the F2 area, where the offical camera stands. The student dances, on the other hand, are setup mostly lengthwise, so either R or L can see them from the side.The best compromise is F1 and F3, from where the offical pictures are taken.
