Notes for "Don't Say No" Dance

These comments are from Lindsey which she had posted in the comments section.

A few things for "Don't Say No";

In the beginning with the hostesses and U.S.O workers, Marie, Naomi, Katherine and Macy need to be in the front line with Ellen and Angela (the invisible Angela) Georgi and Elena are in the back line with Elisabeth M, Lydia, Sloane and myself. You two girls are our book ends, Elisabeth and I will fill in the gap between you two end girls and the middle girls (Lydia and Sloane) Doesn this make sense? Any questions?

When everyone else enters and we al march into different lines ("Every soldier's home away from home"), the back row is (R to L); Elisabeth M, Lydia, Sloane and myself. The middle line is; Elena, Hannah, Elizabeth C, Angela, Ellen, Laura, Maria and Georgi. You girls should all be in windows, except for Elena and Georgi, who are on the ends. The front line is; Marie (directly in front of Elis M), Naomi (dir. in fornt of Lydia), Katherine (dir, in front of Sloane) and Macy (dir. in front of me)

When we change positions on last time for the instrumental, all you hostesses should be directly in front of each other, just as you were when you learned the dance. Elena and Georgi are the only ones who are off to the sides and not behind or in front of anyone. I'll give you the lines again: back line; Naomi, Elizabeth C, Marie, Hannah and Elena. Front line; Georgi, Maria (in front of Naomi), Macy (in front of Eliz C), Laura (in front of Marie) and Katherine (in front of Hannah) 
It's very inmortant to line yourselves up in this way so that Angela and Elisabeth M can walk through the windows of Naomi, Eliz C, Maria and Macy; Ellen and Lydia can walk through the windows of Eliz C, Marie, Macy and Laura; and so that Sloane and I can walk through the windows of Marie, Hannah, Laura and Katherine.

I know this is a mouthful of information, but it will be so helpful to understand so we don't have any more awkward spacing. Get a piece of paper and try to map this out, just like I have in my notes and let me know if any questions come up. Maybe we can all migrate on stage before practice starts next week so we can make sure this is sorted?

Little tikes who do the "drum roll" - you're adorable!

Zone 5 (girls who do the fun, instamental dance)- you look great, just spread out and use all your space when you're skipping backwards. Also, after the instrumental, stay up on the forstage, right behind zone 1 (little tikes) so all the lines in the back don't get squished.

Those who go in the aisles- I'll have to see y'all sometime as well.

Everyone- work on getting yor arms DOWN after the last spin, then raising them UP for the 'O' note.

Thanks!
