taxi4ballet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 DD can't enter - she would have liked to but is already booked elsewhere... Â We know someone entering, they have no idea what to wear, and are a bit puzzled. Â Costumes - The RAD says a simple tutu, leotard or other costume, yet the previous years' winners on their facebook page are wearing the full kit - sequins, tiara, the lot! Â Perhaps others who have knowledge of watching the competition in previous years can shed some light on things...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestfootforward Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I think the confusion re costumes might have occurred as the girls on the RAD FB page are girls who entered the International Genee Competition (some of them were previous winners of the Genee Dance Challenge). The international competition is a completely separate competition, and the Genee Dance Challenge in the past has been run as a fundraising event for the International Competition. My child entered the Genee Dance Challenge in 2012 and I was lucky enough to watch the performers in her "level" and also those within another level as a friend's child was competing too. Within both groups there was a range of costumes, but as I said in my previous post, a few had tutus, but mainly the costumes were very simple. Most girls wore a leotard and skirt or a lyrical type dress. The emphasis is very much on the choreography, the technique and the dance quality of the student. The students changed into their costumes halfway through the second day, so certainly for the younger students, the simpler the better! As far as hair went, again most had a bun with a small adornment to match the costume. It certainly wasn't a tiara fest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestfootforward Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) If you google Genee Dance Challenge Winners 2012 it gives you a link to the RAD FB entry with pictures of the winners in all 4 levels. You can clearly see the costumes they are wearing. Edited March 12, 2014 by Bestfootforward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
