Hi, here are the details for the little show I want to put on when I'm back there visiting Scottsville in August. We have the Community Center (311 North 3rd St - Scottsville, KY 42164) in Scottsville booked for that evening and it has chairs enough for 80 people but I'm sure there will be more seating on the floor if people want to bring cushions and such. The show will be from 6 to 8 with time for some gathering and chatting amongst the dancers afterwards, I'll probably have the doors open at 5 or 5:30 so people can get their seats. There is a raised stage and I'm sure there's a dressing room or at least bathrooms for the dancers to get ready in (to be safe come as ready as possible), we will also be bringing the sound system (good quality home stereo).

Who: Belly dancers
What: different styles of Belly dance
When: Aug. 23rd 2008
Where: Scottsville Community Center
Price: FREE
Start: as close to 6pm as possible
End: somewhere around 8:30pm
After Show: We will have a Meet -N- Greet w/dancers.

If you are interested in performing, please email me at shahlah@clearwire.net as soon as possible with the below info (don't message me through tribe please), all styles and performance levels are welcome and must be family friendly. I might also turn this into a fund raiser for a local charity, like bring a can of food or a coat, but I have to check into what's most needed in Scottsville. I will update this thread as needed.

I will also need volunteers to help with as music runners and stage hands and a stage manager, I'll probably act as stage manager myself until I perform but I'd like to have someone else willing to help keep things running smoothly. Also send me an email to shahlah@clearwire.net to volunteer.

* Performance Name of Troupe or Soloist

* Contact Person’s legal name, phone number.

* A description in your own words of what you plan to present and the style of dance (cabaret, tribal, gothic, etc...).

* Any special prop or lighting needs (someone needs to turn the lights on or off at a certain time, someone needs to go pick up your prop after your performance is done, that kind of thing). I can't guarantee that we can accommodate these requests but I'd like to make a nice show and I love theatrical effects!

Here are the performance time limits.

Soloists: 7 minutes.
Duets and Trios: 10 minutes.
Troupes of 4 or more: 13 minutes.

Music must be on one CD clearly marked with the performer or troupe name and performance time with a note attached indicating start on or off stage and which tracks to play. Bring a backup of your music.

We won't have a formal "dancer check-in" area but I will have a space set up somewhere (most likely with the sound system that my husband will be manning) with release forms and a place to drop off your music, performers should be there at least 30 minutes before their performance time though.

Cell Phone: Usage of cell phones OK prior to the show, once it starts we ask that all Cell phones, pagers, and any other electronic device be shut off or on vibrate mode. If Cell phones have to be used please go outside to us them!

Things that will not be allowed or tolerated:
1. being disrespectful
2. Rude comments or Outburst
3. If anyone finds that this show offends anyone please leave the show and don't cause a scene.

I've only had a couple of responses from dancers wanting to sign up to perform, this will be a nice community event so please sign up to dance! Thanks and I hope this will be a great show!
