Creative Dance Arts • Performance

DANCE MAGNIFICAT is the official dance company
for Creative Dance Arts. Dance Magnificat is
a licensed
Arizona non-profit
organization
established to support fine arts education through assemblies,
workshops and class instruction on-site to schools in Tucson,
as well as presenting
and participating in state-wide dance events.
CRITERIA FOR DANCING WITH DANCE MAGNIFICAT
Any individual from the community may participate in an annual
summer concert produced by Dance Magnificat. The criteria for participation
includes: enrollment in a technique class at Creative Dance Arts,
the official school for this company. Consistency in class attendance,
participation in rehearsals at the theatre, a costume fee/class
and one performance fee is required by every student opting to
perform in Dance Magnificat’s annual summer concert.
Any individual from the community who would like to have the opportunity
of performing more than once a year, may either be invited or request
to be considered for membership in Dance Magnificat. These dancers
must demonstrate their technical ability, musicality, showmanship,
preparedness for class/rehearsal, personal discipline and motivation,
a positive attitude and behavior within the classroom, during rehearsals
and in the community. The dancers who meet these standards and
criteria set forth by the Artistic Director are selected to participate
in the activities of the company on a pre-professional level. Dancers
are sent an invitation to attend a placement session and general
meeting. Based on age and experience, dancers are placed in one
of three divisions: Children’s Group, Youth Group, Teen/Adult
Group. Dancers and their parents must acknowledge their acceptance
by submitting a signed contract which details their responsibilities
and commitments of time, finances and personal behavior. If any
of the stipulated requirements are not met, the dancer is given
a verbal and written warning; subsequent disregard and non-compliance
will be followed by dismissal from the company.
