STAFF MELODY POP TUTION

Melody Pop Tuition was requested by Bolton Council the lanuch the Find Your Talent, which we proudly did in style.

The day commenced at 1pm starting with the Dancers from Meldoy Pop Tuition along with some of our very talented singers which included, Josh Taylor aged 9, Olivia Higham aged 10 and Natalie Terry aged 12, of course the afternoon could not have commenced without the talent of our very own Tony Finnbar-Smith.  All the choreography was arranged by Melissa Finbarr-Smith head of the dance section of the school and her new dance agency due to start The Fabulous Dance Agency.

Working along side Derri Burdon and Gemma Morris from Bolton Council the day was a massive success. Thanks also go to Norma Rutherford for the stageing arrangements, as usual very well organised….. well done Norma and thanks to her and everyone above…

The day ended with Black Out Crew…

1. WHEN & HOW CAN I GET MY TICKETS?
   Tickets are on sale now at http://www.stepup2fame.com/boltonevent - The Buy buttons will be removed once the places have all been filled.We are looking at selling a MAXIMUM of 100 places, but are focusing on limiting it at 80 people.If you REALLY need to buy tickets but cannot buy online then email me at
   tony [[at]] phatmarketing.net or call me on 07737 866432.
   
2. WHY IS IT £80??
   Firstly, bringing Tim and his teachers up from London and putting them up in a hotel is not cheap.
   Then there’s hiring a venue for two days.
   Then hiring the cameras to film it.
   Then the dvd editing and production.Note that these events are normally £40 per day without these cool bonuses of DVD, etc.
   
3. WHAT WILL I LEARN?
   - You’ll learn awesome routines -(to tracks that you’ll know) so can dance at home, in the club, at school, wherever - people’s jaws will drop when you bust these routines out in front of them!
   - Valuable advice throughout the day, we’ve asked Tim to focus on helping you with tips on remembering routines (cos in the survey that was one of the biggest problems most of you said you had)
   - Q&A - on the second day, there’s a part of the day where we get together and have a Q&A with Tim and the other dancers where you get to ask them questions to do with the industry, things like ‘how do I get spotted’, ‘any tips for creating unusual routines’, ‘what competitions are out there’, career advice - anything you like (so get thinking about good questions now!)
   - You become more confident in your dance.
   - This is also a great opportunity to get together with like-minded peopole and network - lots of people have been talking about putting together dance crews - well, this way you get to see each other and talk about it and do it!
4. IS ACCOMMODATION INCLUDED?
   No. If you need a recommendation for somewhere good to stay, let me know -email me tony [[at]] phatmarketing.net
5. HOW GOOD A DANCER DO I HAVE TO BE?
   You will need some experience in dance, as this event is not for raw beginners - you will also need to be fairly fit, as you will be dancing quite a lot over the two days.
   
6. WHAT AGE LIMITS APPLY?
   The minimum age is around 12, as the event is physically demanding. There is no maximum age limit, but I’m guessing pensioners might find it a bit TOO hard … ; )
   
7. HOW MANY PLACES ARE THERE?
   I’m not trying to put any pressure on you, but we’re limiting the amount of peole who are attending to way less than 100 people, closer to about 80 - this means it’s a better learning evironment for you.
   As you might know there’s a LOT more people than that on the mailing list, but I’d really like you to be there, so I’m trying to give you as much information about the event, now, upfront so you can go ahead and make your decision to get your tickets.
8. WHAT DO I GET FOR MY MONEY?
   EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS GETS:
   - 2 Days intensive dance tuition with Kylie’s choreographer and his teaching staff.
   - Group Q&A Session with Tim and the staff
   - Certificate of attendance
   - 2 Hip-Hop Album Download links (each album has about 25 songs on) PLUS exclusive Ayo Technology Remix
   PLUS! THE FIRST 40 PEOPLE TO BUY ONLINE GET:
   - Free attendance to ANOTHER dance workshop - for the first 40 people to buy online (deposit or full amount). Date for second workshop to be confirmed - will be taught by Melissa Pasquill plus guest teacher. Styles Covered: Jazz (Fosse, Lindy-hop, rock n roll, etc) and Street.
9. I HEARD GEORGE SAMPSON WAS GOING TO BE THERE?
   He was invited, here’s our official word on it:
   “We are delighted to announce that George Sampson’s Dance Crew A2AA have been invited, and some of them will be taking part in the classes. Unfortunately George’s work schedule means he cannot officially attend, but his sister Rosie will be dancing. We would love him to pop in and say hi if he’s back from London in time, but we appreciate things are very hectic for him right now.”
10. HOW LONG WILL TICKETS BE ON SALE FOR?
    Tickets will be on sale online from Midnight on Fri 29th August, and will stay available until either:
    a. We sell out of places (aiming for 80 but MAXIMUM 100)
    b. the event takes placeDom at streetdancers.co.uk is goign to tell his whole community when the tickets go on sale
    (which is understandable as A2Aa will be there and one of the members is his son)The streetdancers.co.uk community has 1100 members, and along with:
    facebook stepup2dance group- 223 members
    facebook melodypop group- 281 members
    Tim Noble’s facebook group- 360 members
    that’s nearly 2,000 people interested in coming to this event, so we expect to sell out quite quickly - don’t hang around!
    Also, “The Bolton News” Newspaper is very excited about Kylie’s Choreographer coming to Bolton, so they intend writing an article. They have 75 000 daily readers, so this isn’t going to be a secret for much longer!
