Dear CDT Students,
Unfortunately, with the rising numbers of Covid in our area, the City of Chattanooga does not think it safe enough for several hundred people to gather outside in a park setting. Our outside performance on June 28th will not be performed. But……
​
The Show Must Go On!
So, we are moving our School Showcase Performance VIRTUAL!
Domonique Whitaker is a local videographer who is going to make an amazing video of our performance. This will NOT be a tripod set up and just documentation of a performance. This will truly be a work of art!
We will be filming the video June 22nd-27th. Some classes will have their dance filmed during class time, others will come on Saturday June 27th for filming. Photos will also be taken during the filming time.
We are inviting no more than 2 parents per dancer into the studio watch the filming and see the dance live. (We ask that all parents wear masks when entering) Below is the schedule for the week of June 22nd-27th. Preschool Location classes will be filmed at our studios Saturday, June 27th. If there is a * by your class time, your class will be filmed on Saturday June 27th, as listed below:

That’s not all! We are working to have a drive-in showing of our School Showcase film in July. If all works out, we will be in touch with a potential premiere!
A few other things to note:
Dancers who are not participating in the filming can still come to their regularly scheduled class even if filming will take place, as there will be warm-up and education in dance film and production throughout the class time.
Dancers must participate in at least 3 in-studio classes before the filming day so that we are not spending time learning the dance during filming time. Dancers who have not participated in 3 in-studio classes in May or June before filming day will not be able to participate in the Showcase.
We look forward to seeing you all and creating this very unique School Showcase!
​
Sincerely,
Christine Mashburn-Paul
