Spots will be allotted on a 1 come, 1 served basis. You will also need to have your number ready to show to Samira or your instructor no later than 2 weeks prior to the show. We would prefer earlier to give you more time to polish your dance to perfection. If you need to edit your music, I suggest using a music editor such as Audacity (for PC) or Garageband (for Mac). For hints on how to edit, go to http://radio.about.com/od/funradiothingstodo/a/bleditaudio4.htm . To download Audacity, go to http://download.cnet.com/Audacity/3000-2170_4-10058117.html?tag=mncol . Garageband comes standard on most Macs. All show music is due to me no later than Thursday, December 1st (earlier would be prefered). Files must be in an unrestricted (meaning anyone can open it) mp3, wav, or aac format. ITunes music must be converted to an aac file (a couple of suggestions are at http://forum.soft32.com/windows/convert-iTunes-protected-AAC-M4P-MP3-ftopict378063.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 ). Music can be sent to dancer.samira@yahoo.com or burnt on a cd and turned into Samira. Please label cds with your name and the song title.
