0 Comments

 
"Reflections" is an arts competition sponsored by the National PTSA. Students create dances (or other works of art) based on a particular theme. The 2017-18 theme is: Within Reach.  All works of art are submitted and judged by the duPont Manual PTSA. Dances are submitted  via video. Winning pieces can progress from the school level all the way up to the national level and various awards/prizes are given. In 2015-16 YPAS Dance had two National winners!

YPAS Dance provides a videotaping and submission service for all choreographers who would like to enter a student-created dance in the competition.  This service is optional, students are also welcome to make and submit their own recordings or other works of art if they like.  Use the following link to sign up. 


SIGN UP-CLICK HERE!

Videotaping will take place on Sept. 15th, 2017 in studio 205 beginning at 2:40p.m.  Each choreographer will be given a 10 minute slot to space and have their dance recorded up to 2 times. Choreographers can choose their best run and Mrs. Mansilla will submit the recording to the PTSA for the student. Late arrivals will not be given extra time. Choreographers/Dancers may leave when they are finished. Choreographers must bring a completed and signed entry form to the recording session to be included with their video. Questions? Ask Mrs. Mansilla.
