All rehearsals are “closed.”  No one but dancers and volunteers are allowed in auditorium.  There is also no food or drinks allowed in the auditorium. Students may leave these items, if needed, in the hallway outside the auditorium.  There will be a bathroom available but please make sure your child visits one before their rehearsal.  :)

For the rehearsals that require all students to attend: Costumes are to be worn and hair is to be in a bun (if long enough) and pulled off the face.  Make up is required for the dress rehearsal and show nights only.  This is light make up in order for the dancers faces not to be washed out by the lighting.

Other rehearsals require normal class attire.  Hair still should be pulled back off the face and in a bun.

Please wait outside the auditorium doors with your child until they are called in for their rehearsal.

Tickets will be on sale starting May 1^st at the auditorium before your child’s rehearsal time and on May 6^th in the ballet room before your child’s photo session each student will receive 2 complimentary tickets for the show, these are an ideal gift for neighbours, grandparents, or school teachers. :)

Your child’s costume may be picked up at the May 1st rehearsal and payment must be made then in order to take the costume home.  A huge thank you to the volunteers who made these costumes!!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at c-steer@hotmail.com or any of the Club executive members.

Recital Volunteers Needed!

It is recital planning time!  Our year-end recital is a highly anticipated event by our students who are eager to show what they’ve learned as well as get the chance to dress up and put on a fun show.  This year the recital is scheduled for MAY 15 (Wednesday).  Time TBD.

In order to give our students a quality recital experience, we rely on the help of volunteers. You should have received a Volunteer Sign Up sheet this week.  It is also available under "Important Info" on the right. Instructions for the return of the form are at the bottom of the sheet.

If you have any questions, you can email us at drballet@yahoo.ca.  More detailed information about the recital will be coming as we get closer to the event.

 

Thank you for investing in your child’s growth and experience in dance!
