THE TAP MASTER JASON SAMUELS SMITH
At the ripe age of 15, the major achievement of being
selected to join the Broadway cast of the Tony award
winning Bring in DaNoise, Bring in DaFunk gave Jason the
opportunity to focus on developing and refining his skills.
First as an understudy, Jason quickly raised up through the
ranks to become a principal dancer and understudy to the
lead role. Since then, he has performed at the White House
for the President of the United States, choreographed
several of Debbie Allens theatrical and televised
productions, and toured internationally with Savion
Glover's dance group NYOTs (Not Your Ordinary Tappers). He
is also featured in Michael Jackson's latest music video
Rock Your World.
HOP HOP Robin Dunn
A graduate with a BBA degree in Marketing from Bernard M.
Baruch College, has appeared in and choreographed several
Off Broadway and Dinner Theater productions. 1993 saw Robin
as Director of Amateur Night at the World Famous Apollo
Theater. Other clients Robin has worked with include
Saturday Night Live, Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, 1995
Children's Choice Awards, Earth Day Parade, Missy Elliot,
Tony Award winner/RCA Recording artist, Heather Headley,
the voice behind the Nelly hit "Hot In Herre," Dani
Stevenson, The Braxtons featuring 'Jay Z,' Wynonna Judd,
Brian McKnight and Jive recording artist, Joe. Robin
teaches Hip Hop dance at Steps on Broadway, The Ailey
School for their BFA (Fordham University), Certificate,
Fellowship and Independent Study students and Saatchi &
Saatchi
JAZZ SHELIA BARKER
Sheila Barker needs no introduction to anyone even vaguely
familiar with the world of dance. Dance Teacher magazine
recently answered a letter asking “what makes a good dance
teacher” by using a picture of Ms. Barker! (“Google” Sheila
Barker and you’ll find that literally thousands of dance
teachers across America list her in their bios as a
favorite teacher or influence.)
Sheila has been an educator, choreographer and performer
for over a dozen years in places such as Brazil, Japan,
Mexico, Canada, Europe and across the USA, with her home
base being New York City’s Broadway Dance Center. She
received a BFA in dance and has extensive training in Jazz,
Ballet, Modern, Tap, African/Dunham and Musical Theatre.
Her performance background ranges from Broadway (Uptown,
It’s Hot!, choreographed by Mercedes Ellington -- Sheila
was also the dance captain.) and Off-Broadway to
industrials, music videos and soap operas (One Life to
Live).
Sheila has choreographed many industrials, music videos,
and stage shows for recording artists. She recently
appeared in concert with Savion Glover in Invitation to a
Dancer. Sheila is co-founder and director of Success
America, a New York summer intensive program for young
inspiring dancers. It has placed many youngsters in shows
such as: Smokey Joe's Café, Footloose, Big, Contact, The
Music Man, and Radio City Music Hall.
BALLET Robin Russell Ouellette
Robin Russell Ouellette was an apprentice member of The
Greater Bridgeport Ballet Company and performed in such
ballets as “The Nutcracker”, “Coppelia”, “Peter and the
Wolf” and “The Snow Queen”. In “The Nutcracker”, she was
directed by Genia Melikova and danced with featured artists
Jan Miller, Bryan Pitts and Fernando Bujones. In
“Coppelia”, Robin worked under the artistic direction of
Madame Gabriela Taub-Darvash and apprenticed with her
ballet company in New York.
In 2004 I began my tenure instructing at the Judyth Parks
Academy of Dance and Music, located in Wallingford and
Southington, under Courtney Parks-Billings and enhanced the
existing ballet program as Head Ballet Teacher for students
ranging in age from 7 through adult.

You should already go to see the decorations for this year's carnaval as well as the costumes for this year's tap group. The music which you must learn and sing while dancing are ready for you to hear at the link just above. You must be able to learn choreography off of a CD and perform it with precision to be included in this experience. Due to the fact that Brazilian Carnaval is one of the biggest competitions in the world, Christiane reserves the right to deny anyone who does not meet proper requirements (i.e. not knowing the words to theme song, not being able to properly perform choreography while moving in a formation, losing a part of your costume to name a few).
ENSAIOS TÉCNICOS
Os ensaios técnicos acontecem em São Paulo na própria escola Mocidade Alegre e posteriormente no sambódromo. São aproximadamente de 3 a 4 no total. Não temos ainda as datas definidas. The technical rehearsals will happen in Sao Paulo at the school Mocidade Alegre and also in back of the Sambadrome. We don't have the exact dates on this yet. Stay tuned for more information.
FANTASIA
A fantasia foi desenhada e criada pela equipe carnavalesca da agremiação Mocidade Alegre. A confecção será feita em Campinas sob a coordenação da própria escola Mocidade Alegre. As medidas serão tiradas no dia 9 de janeiro de 2009 para a confecção no corpo de cada um. A foto da fantasia feminina segue anexo (em baixa resolução). A masculina será substituída por calça. The costumes were designed and created to fit this year's theme for Mocidade Alegre. They are handmade in Campinas and are directly coordinated with the school. The photo of the costume is included below, or you can request for us to send it to you via e-mail if you can not view it below. The men's costumes are substituted with pants.
O valor da fantasia é de R$ 400 (divididos em 4 parcelas com cheques pré-datados para dias 15/11, 15/12, 15/01 e 05/02). The price of the costume is a total of $400 brasilian Reals, but you can check the current exchange rate to see how much it will be in dollars at the time of your payments. You can make your payment at one time, or you can divide it up into payments if needed.

A Message from Group Theatre Too:
I know the Group Theatre Too has asked a lot of you.
But in the next year, GTT will need you more than ever before.
Together, we can make sure more people head to the theatre for an affordable evening of entertainment participate in art education programs, experience "aftermath", GTT's social awareness theatre piece or exercise their creative power and hone their artistic skills.
That's why I'm asking you to dig deep and make another donation to help us to continue our efforts to ensure affordable, quality theatre, effective arts education programs and the creation of new artistic works.
Take a minute to consider the difference we can make, then please make a donation of $5 or more today. Remember, all donations for the Group Theatre Too made through our fiscal sponsor The Field are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
GTT has been blessed over the last 5 years to have been fortunate enough to have produced many theatre projects, educational programs and dance works. Plus, we're still on our feet and dancing strong despite the rising economic situation!
Our shared hope to continue our artistic and educational efforts can make a difference in building a stronger arts community if we continue to work together.
Please make a donation of $5 or more and stand with GTT as we face unprecedented challenges in our changing world.

Mamma Mia! did for ABBA”
The New York Post
“Really, Rock of Ages should suck, yet somewhere between the Styx dance break and the Twisted Sister reprise, this tuner becomes a
LEGITIMATE ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT!”
