- Annie says: Ken’s Deadline is April 12th to tape and submit dances. But the timing is bad for this. There are events during this time that conflict such as Miss Hendrix. So we want to push the deadline back .
- Karla: last year, we waited too long to approve the dances. The 12th allows us to see tapes before finals. We could probably push back the deadline a few extra days.
- Annie: my choreographers need the deadline pushed back more like months rather than days….
- Karla: we decided last spring that Ken’s current schedule would be the expectation. It’s ok if the choreographers have 95% of the dance ready, we realize that they may change a little over the summer. We’re not rigid about small changes in the dance.
