| How the Call In Works
All performers with the exception of the Weeklong Workshop Participants
and the Workshop Teachers need to call and register to perform.
We do not choose the dancers, the phone company will determine
who is next in line. Keep Calling until you get through. At RAKKASAH Festival
we DO NOT charge dancers to perform. The day they dance they get into the
festival for free!! We encourage dancers of all levels and ages to perform
on our stage. All Orientale styles, interpretations
and/or fantasies are welcome as long as you remember that this is a family
show.
However we do have a few edicts and a few suggestions
for those who wish to dance at Rakkasah.
-
Do not call before 9am West Coast Time on the Specified Date
-
You can only reserve one (1) dance spot per phone call.
-
Solo, Duo and Trio performance times are 7 minutes - no longer.
-
Troupes (four or more) performance times are 15 minutes -
no longer
-
Warning - If your dance runs over the allotted time you will
be subjected to having your music turned off and your performance ended
- we must keep it fair to the other dancers and keep the show as close
to �on schedule' as possible. (Thank You)
-
If you dance in a troupe, all members may participate in
the call-in.
-
For Solo Dancers - Have all information ready - your legal
name, your dance name and how you choose to spell it, address & phone
number.
-
For Group Dancers - Have the troupe name, director's stage
name, phone number, address, number of troupe dancers, and what city you
wish to be listed from.
-
If you are performing with a troupe you may not dance a solo
spot, however you may dance with as many troupes as you wish.
Getting through the phone lines can be a tedious and frustrating
experience but for those of you who get through the feelings of gratification
are immeasurable.
***Tips***
-
Start calling at 9am and don't give up.
-
Use the redial button.
-
For your convenience use a speaker phone, when we pick up
the line we will try to get your attention - if you are not there we will
need to hang up.
-
Each person who calls should have all the needed information
at hand to make the process as quick and painless as possible.
-
If you do not get through until after the program is full,
please leave your information on the answering machine, it's a slim chance
but sometimes people have to drop their spots and we give them out on a
first come first serve basis.
Good Luck and
See You at the Festival |
