May Happenings and MORE!

The dance year is winding down-it has really gone by fast and just wanted to let all of you know how much I appreciate you trusting me with your cute kids.  These last two weekends have been busy to say the least, but they have been so fun and rewarding seeing those kids conquer their fears and have FUN!  I am genuinely so proud of each girl and love seeing the growth and potential of each student. For May Calendar: We will have regular scheduled practice this upcoming week (April 30-May3).  The week of the recital, the Junior High was nice and accommodating for us to get some practice time on their gym floor.  I didn't want to take advantage of their generosity so we are only doing 30 min time slots for each class except for preschool class- we will need the whole hour :)  So here is a rundown of dates/times for classes to do run throughs @ Snowcrest JH.

Monday May  7th
2:40pm-3:10pm-Dawin  (Elementary kids will need to be taken out of school- sorry)
3:15pm-3:45pm- Wild Horses
3:50pm-4:20pm - Girl Power
4:25pm-4:55pm- Wings (This is the Tuesday Jazz class-rehearsal is Monday-no class Tuesday)

Wednesday May 9th
2:30-3:00pm- NO
3:00-3:30pm-Cooties
3:30-4:00pm- Cinderella
4:00-4:30pm- Whistle
4:30-5:00pm- Strip That Down
5:00-5:30pm- Morning Song

Thursday May 10th
2:30-3:30pm- PRESCHOOL CLASS
3:30-4:00pm- Halo
4:00-5:00pm- Somebody and Dynamite

This is important even though it is a shorter time slot.  This will make Friday night a lot less chaotic for the kids....and me;)

Please keep up with tuition fees. Text me if you have questions regarding amount. The only other fee I am adding on is a $12 dollar recital DVD fee per family. This is a mandatory fee.  Extra DVD's can also be added to your order for only $10 each. DVD's will be mailed directly to your home when they are finished. Greg Anderson does a wonderful job video/editing for me every year and it is a great keepsake for your kiddos to watch. To keep his services I want to make sure it is worth his time and effort. Please Add the $12 to May tuition. Forms will need to be filled out at the recital for address information. If you have more than one dancer in your family-only one DVD fee of $12 is required. He has other DVD's from previous recitals if you are interested in ordering any other YEAR END reviews for same price.

Recital night-Friday, May 11th!  We have A LOT of solos that want to perform at the recital this year...... So we will be starting 6:30pm on the dot and will just keep running and hopefully get done at a decent time:)

We will have regular classes the week of May 14th and then No classes the following week which is the last week of school. Thank you for your support!

Starstruck Dance Comp and Dress rehearsal

I have received both line-up times for solo and team competitions. I am waiting to hear back from Starstruck because dancEnvy only has 2 numbers inbetween their two performance times so hopefully that will get changed. Parking garage is behind the theater on the west side of Washington Blvd. I have wristbands and will wait out in the foyer as you arrive. If I am not their give me a call and I will come out and find you. Soloists need to check in at the music table.  The Rehearsal Hall on Stage right is available to practice in, warm up, etc. IT IS NOT A DRESSING ROOM. Soloists will also need to check in on stage  10 numbers before their turn to perform.  Lane 1 Stage Right and Lane 2 Stage Left. Other than that, please be ready to perform 1 1/2 hours before first scheduled performance time. Come in your first costume-Dressing room space is very limited!  Usually,  most competitions run early and they don't stop to catch up....they just keep going. Starstruck Dance Comp are charging spectator entry fees. $5 per person but 5 yr olds and under are free. You can get a 2 day pass for $8 if you will be a spectator for solos too
. We will have full out dress rehearsal during their class times this upcoming week. It will be best if parents can stay and help with changes so that you are informed of what needs to happen. Hopefully the girls have already tried on their costumes and adjustments made to any costumes that may not fit exactly and make sure costumes are steamed if wrinkly. NO UNDERWEAR unless nude color or if they are wearing a biketard so that you don't see it.  No BRAS unless you can't see straps. If you need to wear a bra and the straps show you will need clear straps. No fingernail or toenail polish! Make sure you bring costumes in a costume bag or suitcase with names already on articles of costume....even shoes and hair pieces. Make sure you have a checklist and go through it before you leave dress rehearsal at the studio and before going to competition. I will have a line up list at the studio so you can write down the times etc....I emailed if not all..most of you the line ups already.  Please text if any questions.
 HOPEFULLY EVERYONE IS DOING THEIR PRACTICE SHEETS THIS SPRING BREAK! ;)
