Costume Note: If you want to have first dibs on colors and sizes, bring cash and take your costume home w/ you on that night. If you want to pay via check, 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.

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 absent or more than 15 minutes late.
Important to understand: There are two show dates (Sat Oct 19th and Sun Oct 20th, 2013), and on each day there will be a Turkish Drum Solo AND a Busto the Balkans group performing: There is a Turkish Drum Solo -Saturday Show & Turkish Drum Solo - Sunday Show group, same for Bus to the Balkans. However, ALL Turkish Drum Solo staging, practices, etc. take place on the preceeding Saturdays, and all Bus to the Balkans activities take place Sundays. While the practice days are predetermined based on your dance, you will select YOUR SHOW DAY on the respective signup meeting day. |

We have assigned seating, which means you buy the exact seat that you/your friends & family will be sitting in. Please make sure your guests are aware of this and don't bring babies/children without having a seat/ticket for them. There is no room for "sitting on the lap". No exceptions.
Ticket Sales Starting: TBA
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, 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 3 practices, one staging, 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, etc. 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.
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.
Q: Since the shows are now at a new location, which seats are the best?
A: Seat prices depend on how close to the stage you are and/or the angle of the view. The ticket price is the best indicator for the quality of the seat.
