Theme for the year: Love for Dance
CARNAVAL 2009
Queridos sambateadores! Dear Tap Dancers!
Mais um ano está terminando, e já estamos pensando em começar 2009 com muito sapateado. Another Year is ending and we are already thinking about beginning 2009 with a lot of tap dancing. Os interessados poderão entrar em contato diretamente comigo CHRISTIANE MATALLO (diretora da ala) para maiores detalhes. Those of you who are interested in participating should be in direct contact with Christiane Matallo, the director of the line, for more details. O desfile da Escola Mocidade Alegre será dia 21 de fevereiro no sambódromo de São Paulo no Anhembi. The Mocidade Alegre samba school will perform on February 21st in the Sao Paulo Sambadrome in Anhembi. Por volta da 1h da manhã. To begin at 1am. Abaixo seguem as primeiras informações importantes. Below includes important information that you should read first.

ALL Interested participants should be a minimum solid Intermediate level according to tap dance here in the US.
MONTAGEM E ENSAIOS - Schedule of Rehearsals

Você já deve ir decorando o samba-enredo deste ano. A letra e música estão disponíveis no site da escola pelo link: http://www.mocidadealegre.com.br/action/carnaval2009/sambaEnredo.do
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.
O depósito da 1 ª parcela deverá ser feito no banco Santander em nome de Christiane Matallo, agência: 0575 conta- corrente: 01026440-6 no dia 15 de novembro. O valor à vista não terá desconto.
