December Performance Information

We offer a Winter performance opportunity for our dancers.  Don’t forget we are closed Sunday, December 21st through Saturday, January 3rd!  Classes will resume on Sunday, January 4th 2026.


DECEMBER INFORMATION
Performance will be on Saturday 13 December
The Texas School of The Deaf,
1102 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX, 78704

 

You will receive the video link of your students dance on Friday 21st November, for them to be able to practice at home. Costume notes will also be sent. This will explain the dancers costume and hair. Costumes will then be handed out after Thanksgiving.

  • Performance is Saturday 13th December. We will send a map and directions out closer to the performance.
  • Each show is under an hour in length, and we ask that families plan to stay for the entire show. It is disruptive and distracting for the dancers when audience members enter and exit during their dances.
  • Arrive at the facility approximately 15-20 minutes (not any earlier please) before your scheduled time and plan to stay for the entire show. Come dressed completely for your first dance and don’t forget to wear your cover-up!!! Cover-ups are very important in the dance/theatre world because they protect the costume from being damaged and are a sign of respect to the community. 
  •  Each class needs a Stage Parent. This can be a teenage sibling, Mom, Nanny… The stage parents will sit with each class in the front of the audience and help escort them to and from the stage when they are called. Theu will not remain backstage with them and will be able to sit in the audience during the performance.
  •  Costumes are simple for this demonstration and a $45 costume and $55 performance fee should have already been paid. This fee covers the costumes, accessories, rental of the facility and staffing for the performance. Please don’t confuse this with the Spring costume fee that is due January 15th; if your dancer is participating in the Saturday, May 9th recital.
  • Admission is FREE to the December performance.
  • Makeup is optional for our recreational dancers, and hair should be worn up, away from the dancer’s face. Each teacher will specify a hairstyle for their dance. I do encourage light blush and a natural color lipstick but it’s not required.
  • Please no flash photography during the performance. Parents are allowed to take non-flash photography and video from your seats or from the back. Please be respectful and courteous of the others around you and do not stand or block the aisles during the show.
  • Flowers, trophies and Synergy Gear will be for sale at the performance. If you want to buy flowers, I encourage you to buy them at the performance. The money earned from the flower sales will go directly to support our SDC “company” dancers.
  • Regular classes will continue through Saturday, December 20th. Our holiday break begins Sunday, December 21st through Saturday, January 3rd. Spring classes will resume on Sunday, January 4th.
  •  We are offering a Holiday Camp December 29-30 10-3:00 for ages 4-11yrs. Come and join us here at Synergy Dance Studio for games, dancing, craft and more! Welcome to only come for one day or join us for all three!  Register online for your space.

Thank you so much for a great semester. If you have any questions about classes or performances please let me know. 

I’m looking forward to a great show!
