Please pick up your price list package if wanting to
purchase individual or class pictures.
Remember we ask that all students try to be present for
picture day regardless if you buy any or
not. It is nice for students to be able to see their class
pictures on the walls when they return in
the fall and continually see each new year posted.
Video tapes: Video tapes will be available for
purchase by picking up an order form.
If video taping yourself, you are only
allowed to do so on Thursday during Dress Rehearsal.
This also applies to any flash photography.
Rules and Regulations: Thursday, Dress Rehearsal is the only
night students are
allowed to go into the audience to watch
the show for free without a ticket. If they want
to sit in on Fri. or Sat. they MUST buy a ticket since they
will be taking up a seat.
No young siblings are allowed to sit on
laps unless they are in the back row. A television
monitor will be set up in the back area
for all students to watch the show live Fri. and Sat.
The only people allowed in with the
performing students dress rehearsal are young siblings
6+ under and the parents or guardians who
are transporting them. Anyone else that
arrives will have to purchase a discount
ticket. The reason being, is that many people
over the past years decide to come in free
for dress rehearsal and not purchase a ticket
Fri. or Sat. thus causing over crowding
and much distraction for Thurs. which is supposed to
be the students free night.
Parents Options: (depending on the age of your child.)
1. Parents watch performance in audience
with a ticket,while child is out back watching the
live show on the television monitor.
2. Parent picks up child backstage
immediately after performance and brings child into
audience with a purchased ticket.
3. Parent waits in the backstage area for
child to perform and leaves following the end of the
number, if not wishing to purchase any tickets at all.
**Due to the limited Dressing Room areas,
we will need to divide up some of the younger
and intermediate classes between the 2
shows. Please see individual teachers with updated
Information or you can check our website
for more information.
Tiny Tot Parents: All Tiny Tot parents must personally
bring child to the backstage area and
wait until they go backstage. Parents then
go into the audience to watch and come back
immediately following the number to pick
them up. Parents please remember that being on
stage for a small 2-5 yr. old can be quite
overwhelming with the lights,scenery,people etc..
If they make it out on stage, we’re
pleased. If they actually move their bodies we’re thrilled
and if they happen to do the dance as
learned, we’re ecstatic!! Please be proud no matter
what.
Awards: All Achievement pins will be given out
the last lesson before the show with the
exception of our “Special Awards” The
Company awards will be given out at our Spaghetti
Fund Raiser Banquet on June 5th. We invite
all company and non company students and
families to attend this fin event. The
Senior awards and other special awards will be given
out at the recital finale as usual.
Like last year we will be handing out Achievement Pins. Each child will
receive our new
color coded collectors Achievement Pin.
Each color represents a specific number of years
your child has been a member of our
dancing family. Please let us know what year it is for
your child using our sign up sheet located
on the bulletin board in the main lobby. You may
purchase any of the previous years colored
pins if you would like.
Refreshments:
We will be doing the same set up as last year if the school still allows
us to.
The common in the center is a great place
to picnic with your family , weather permitting
There is absolutely no food allowed in the
dressing rooms or in the auditorium.
Dressing Rooms: The same dressing mom spaces will be
available as last year. All students
in one number can wear their costume there
and bring a large cover t-shirt if entering the
auditorium.
Last Parents Day: Will be their last class in June. For the
last lesson in June we will hand
out achievement pins and have last class
parties. If you would like to bring in a treat for your
class, please see the instructor for the
number of students per class. All parents please be
present to get last minute information.
Gym Show: For all acro/gym classes. The show is
Tuesday June 7th at 5:00 p.m. The Gym
show is at Hampshire Regional High School.
Remember this is a separate show from the
recital. This is specifically for our acrobat,
gymnastic students which takes place in an
open gymnasium. It is a very informal exhibition
where you will see your child perform a
variety of skills rotating from one apparatus to
another. Unlike the recital you are able
to video tape throughout the show as well as take
photos. It is similar to a three ring
circus where you will see many activities going on at
once, from our youngest beginners to our
advanced company students. This format seems to
be the best way for all involved. Lets
just hope we have cooler weather this year! For more
details please see the separate Gym Show
Newsletter. Any questions see Lisa Anthony/
Debbie Bean.
Company Notices: To help aid in our fundraising efforts,
we’re looking for some volun-
teers to bake and help out at the gym show
and recital. We really appreciate all of you who
take the time to volunteer every year.
There will be no solos, duo/trios, or
small groups performing at our dress rehearsal on
Thursday June 16th. If time allows we will
run through some small groups at the end of re-
hearsal.
Money past due: Anyone that still owes tuition,
competition fees or costume balances will
not
be allowed to purchase tickets unless their bill is paid in full. Your monthly
payments
are
pro-rated throughout the year so that it balances out over the course of the
season.
Please
remember that there is full June tuition due. We ask for your complete
cooperation
regarding
this matter.
Summer Registration: All
company students must attend summer classes to maintain Co.
status.
