IMPORTANT!

PASSPORTS

** YOU MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT THAT DOES NOT EXPIRE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF TRAVEL DATES.

I cannot stress this point enough.  Numerous past participants have tried to travel with either a passport that will expire within the 6 months, or already expired!  These dancers/parents were turned away at the airport.  Don't let this happen to you!  This is YOUR responsibility, not ours or the airline booking our tickets.  We try to remind people to renew passports but we cannot do it for you.  You will have to buy another airline ticket if you fail to get on with the rest of the team.

  • Parents/guardians/siblings/friends may stay with the team if you are travelling with the team ONLY.  
  • If parents want to travel ON THEIR OWN, they are responsible for their own flights, hotel and ground transportation. Please, DO NOT ask for help with those arrangements – We are not the travel agent.  We can only submit the dancers and those travelling WITH the team. You will not likely be able to book a room at the same hotel as the team as you will not be on the list that is sent to the organizer. These lists are submitted well in advance of travel and other countries competing are also trying to book rooms. You may be able to find a smaller hotel nearby.


  • TEAM TRAVEL will depart 2 days prior to competition and return 1 day after.  


  • EXTENDED STAY option will depart with the Team Travel prior to competition and return one week after the modern//contemporary competition


  • If you are going for Ballet/Jazz and are not competing in Modern/Contemporary but want to stay until the end, choose the full BJMC travel regardless of acceptance.  That way your hotel will be paid for the entire stay.

We prefer sponsors to pay the dancer directly as the money isn't going to Team Canada Dance.  If they would rather pay directly, have them contact us and we can make arrangements.  There is also an option for them to make a sponsor payment on Amilia or through our PayPal with the dancers name/team/province in the comment section.

FUNDRAISE/SPONSORSHIP

TEAM TRAVEL -vs- EXTENDED STAY

FUNDRAISE/SPONSORSHIP

 A great way to offset some of the travel cost is to form a fundraising committee within the team.  This not only helps those families in need but also promotes team bonding.


Individual dancers may seek sponsorships from local businesses to help as well.  In the past, we have had several dancers pay for their entire family this way!

Finally, get yourself in the news!  But before you do, check with us to see if other dancers in your area  are on this team or one of the other ones so you all get some exposure!

The physics of the "hardest move" in ballet - Arleen Sugano

View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-physics-of-the-hardest-move-in-ballet-arleen-sugano


In the third act of "Swan Lake", the Black Swan pulls off a seemingly endless series of turns, bobbing up and down on one pointed foot and spinning around and around and around ... thirty-two times. How is this move — which is called a fouetté — even possible? Arleen Sugano unravels the physics of this famous ballet move.   Lesson by Arlene Sugano, animation by Dancing Line Productions.
