Oranges
Co-President of VIS

DDN Name: KangarooPaw aka KP
Real Name (optional): Ashlee
Age: 20
How long you have been in VIS: Not really sure...
Dorm you are in: Arabesque
Dorm/Department/Company(s) you would like to be head of: Arabesque VP & Lyrical Department Head
Why should we choose you for this position: (please state for each position if more than one) Arabesque VP - I'm active on DDN every single day, and I usually check out VIS multiple times a day as well. I don't post every time, but since its not really active yet, I can't. If it were more active and I had duties, I'd definitely be doing them. Lyrical Department Head -I'm completely interested in getting this department back up and running... if I haven't made my interest in VIS clear already, I'm not sure what to do! I also want to incorporate contemporary into this department, and being head would probably make it a little bit easier.

I heard from Rocky13, she is busy and is unable to be head.

Also, if you want to sign up to be VP of Arabesque you need to sign up in Arabesque for it because that has already been started. www.dance.net . . .

Actually, seeing Cadbury sign up for VP of Arabesque is a good idea. I think she'd do well. My main interest is in lyrical department head.

More than one person can sign up, that way we can have elections.

DDN Name: Echo
Real Name (optional): Echo..
Age: 14
How long you have been in VIS: Since... Umm... November 26, 2007 I think.
Dorm you are in: Fouette
Dorm/Department/Company(s) you would like to be head of: Ballet Department?? Not sure.. I've never really done anything other than ballet classes there. Do they have recitals? Or are all performances by companies? Do they have exams? Could I make a recital/spring concert or exams? Could I make an assistant director?
Why should we choose you for this position: (please state for each position if more than one) I have been dancing ballet for 8 years.. I have some great ideas, and I really want VIS to be active again!

Echo.

PS. What's up with all of the companies and only 2 that are active? I might have wanted to be head of one of those, but they aren't active, so.. I didn't really see the point.

DDN Name: Ariel
Real Name (optional): Ariel
Age: 11
How long you have been in VIS: For about... 1 year and a half or so. Actually... probably closer to 2 years
Dorm you are in: Fouette and Arabasque
Dorm/Department/Company(s) you would like to be head of: Lyrical Department
Why should we choose you for this position: (please state for each position if more than one) You should choose me because I am responsible, I am active in VIS, and I am very honest. I run fair, and I am very easy tog et along with. I also know VIS very well

I have a question..
Ariel, on your "Everything you need to know about VIS", you mentioned something about a publicist? Is that like someone who tries to get other people to join? What exactly is a publicist? If it is like an advertiser.. I would love to apply for this position.

The point is to get them active, that is why we are trying to find heads for things.

And that doesn't have anything to do with this thread sweeti.

^Actually it does. She would like to apply for the position and would like to help get VIS more active. Isn't that what this thread is for?

Anyways...

Just to let you know, I've never been dubbed head of Le Barre persay but I do organize all the Lunch/Breakfast turns.

Link: www.dance.net . . .

I would like to nominate CadburyEater(sorry if I spelled your name wrong) for the position of Head of Le Barre if that is ok.

Reason: She is already kind of in charge of Le Barre and she is good at it!

I had no clue about that thread even existing till after replying, and the positions that are up for grabs so to say are the ones mentioned. We never really had a publicist for VIS. So I do not ever think of it. I'll have to talk to Plumeria on whether or not we should have a publicist.

Love Amelia x

^Oranges

I am not actually the head of le Barre, but I haven't seen the real head around for about a..year or two. I tend to organize the lunch ladies and that, but am not the actual head. But I'm all for becoming head of Le Barre because I'm there quite alot and organize all the events there.

DDN Name: Mandy
Real Name (optional): Mandy
Age: 12
How long you have been in VIS: About 2-3 months... not sure.
Dorm you are in: Fouette
Dorm/Department/Company(s) you would like to be head of: Academic Department.
Why should we choose you for this position: Because I always check the dapartment, even if it is inactive. I will try my hardest to get it active again, and help classes, and give out ideas and such. I will be great for the head of the Academic Department, you'll see if you pick me. =)

^^Cadbury_Eater, I nominated you for the position (see above), and Oranges gave it to you! Now you are the offical head of Le Barre!!

Cadbury, I think we have considered you head of Le Barre. I didn't just say you were it. That's unfair. You took Le Barre under your wing so it's like your baby.

Stardanceramelia, you were also already considered head of the dorm so you do not need to go through this again.

Plumeria and I talked about publicist and we do not think it is needed. We may want a helper later but as of right now we are more concerned with everything else in VIS.

Oh, shoot. JustineTarini is active again? Well I guess I can't be head of Ballet Department. =( So could I be publicist? Let me know when you talk to Plumeria, Oranges. I think that it would be a good idea... Someone to always tell friends and DDNers about the new things in VIS, to get more people to join...?
Echo

We did. We do not think a publicist is needed. We may want a helper later but for now we are only focusing on getting places around VIS active. But I will let you know when and if we are looking for a helper Echo.

Well, shoot. I guess I can't apply for anything. Let me know when you guys change your mind.

Echo

Echo, what about Point to Point or the Ballet Theatre?? They both need heads and are right up your alley. I think you should apply to be head of one of them.

Real Name (optional): Carle
Age: 13
How long you have been in VIS: A few months
Dorm you are in: Fouette
Dorm/Department/Company(s) you would like to be head of: Jazz Department
Why should we choose you for this position: (please state for each position if more than one) Well, I love jazz! It is my favorite style to dance and teach. It is something I have a passion for. I am a strong leader and a great teacher. I explain things very well, which is a great feature for teaching. I am very active in VIS along with DDN. I really want to help get VIS active again!

Well... I've never really been apart of one of them. (You see, I applied in Sept. but never got approved to join. )
I would be pretty new. But if you guys don't mind that... Sure! How about Point to Point?

Just because you were never part of something that is need of a head it doesn't mean you can't apply to be head!
