Shopping Spree


 

This theme can be a lot of fun for the dancers and the audience. One teacher created the Shopping Spree theme utilizing all the stores within her own community. The store owners loved it, offering her all sorts of coupons and small gifts. She made small shopping bags with her studio logo and name, filled them with the coupons, gifts, and her recital program. The audience loved it!

 

Other great ideas

Create a program that resembles a store circular – set up your student lists like coupons or sales slips.  •  for scene changes, have special sales or “blue light specials” announced over the microphone to segue into the next number  (take a walk through local department stores and listen to the announcements that come over their intercom for more ideas)  •  have a finale that features shopping carts – senior dancers could wheel out various baby classes in their carts! Borrow those carts from one of the stores you’ve featured in your show!
