AE DANCE + FITNESS

On July 20th, we're performing at Bristol Harbour Festival from 15.00-15.45.

AND YOU CAN JOIN THE PARTY!

We'll be performing a 20min megamix of routines. And then running a 20min workshop. The routines that will feature in the megamix are

1. Burlesque Summer Showdown Hoedown (SSH) routine
2. Wednesday Commercial SSH routine
3. Ricky Martin - Cup of Life (1998 World Cup) 😉
4. Thursday Jazz SSH routine
5. Mon/Tue Jazz mash up SSH routine
6. Let's Get Loud (wedding/teacher dance w/ Tue Jazz)

If you have/are/will be learning these any of these routines in class, you can totally join the Bristol Harbour Fest performance crew!

What's the deal with learning the routines?

Routines 1 + 2 (that's Wed Burlesque and Commercial) - Amy is going to start teaching tonight (June 4). And will be working on them until the SSH on June 26th. As long as you go to class to learn those routines (no stress if you miss one class), you're welcome to perform them at Bristol Harbour Fest (even if you can't do SSH). Just make note of the extra rehearsal below.

Routine 3 - Ricky Martin - I'm teaching in Thursday Jazz this week. And we'll then review in the rehearsal on July 16th. If you want to partake, get your butt to Jazz tomorrow. (Obvs you don't need to if you already learnt it in Mon/Tue Jazz this week).

Routine 4 and 5 (Angie's Jazz Summer Showdown Hoedown pieces) - we'll start work on these next week (w/c 9 June). As long as you come to class to learn those routines (no stress if you miss one class), and you're welcome to perform them at Bristol Harbour Fest (even if you can't do SSH). Just make note of the extra rehearsal below.

Routine 6 Let's Get Loud (the teacher wedding dance that Tue Jazz learnt) - if you want to perform this one, you already need to know it, to be honest. You'd have learnt it earlier this term with Alice/Amy. And you'd need to be able to make the 90min rehearsal on 16 July (as that's the only time we'd have to put it together).

What's the commitment?

• Obviously make sure you can attend the classes outlined above (no stress if you miss one along the way)
• On July 16th we have a big rehearsal night at BGS (timetable below) - this is mandatory...ish!
  • If you absolutely can't make this rehearsal, for example you're on holiday, don't stress. Email us and depending on the complexity of the routine/formations/transitions we'll do our best to say 'yeah mate, don't worry, we'll make it work"
• The day of the performance - July 20th - we'd probably meet at about 1pm for rehearsals and excitement building!

What do I need to do to sign up?

1. ​Sign up on this Google doc, writing 'yes' under each routine you want to participate in (deadline = 28 June)
2. ​Join this WhatsApp group (deadline = 28 June)
3. ​Pay £5 participation fee (to help cover the cost of the rehearsals. Deadline = 28 June)

Now, I'm going to be honest. I've written this email in a rush. So if you have any question can you please email me (hello@aedancefitness.com) as there's a good chance I've missed something (sorry).

And then the final thing to say is performing at Bristol Harbour Festival is SO FUN - it's a family friendly, light and bright kind of event. Not super pressured. And our BHF days have quite a lovely 'this is a social' feel to them because of that. I'd really recommend getting involved whether you're a golden oldie or a newbie because it's something fabulous for the Bristol summer memory box!

Okay, I'll leave you in peace now. BYE!
