OF A MAGAZINE RECITAL PACKET.

Dear RECITAL PARTICIPANTS: We are super excited for our upcoming show! It is going to knock your socks off! Our dancers have been training so diligently to bring this special performance to the stage. To make sure that everyone is informed, has all of the information needed, understands how this whole process works, etc., we have included everything you will need to know in our YOU OUGHT to be on The COVER OF A MAGAZINE RECITAL PACKET. Please take the time to read through ALL of the information. Even if you have been in our shows before, some of our processes may have changed, so please make sure you read through all of our information! Please note, that ALL BALANCES FOR ALL ACCOUNTS MUST BE PAID IN FULL IN ORDER FOR YOUR DANCER TO RECEIVE THEIR COSTUME, PARTICIPATE IN PHOTO WEEK, PARTICIPATE IN THE DRESS REHEARSAL AND RECITAL. We offer several options to ensure convenience for our families: 1. You may pay at the Front Desk. 2. You may check your account at any time through your Parent Portal online on our website at www.thedancewarehouse.org. 3. For your convenience, you may also pay your balance there as well. Parents, while we understand that this is a fun event for the children, it is also a learning experience for them as well. Part of the overall experience is understanding the expectations of a production and performance. This means being in the correct hair, makeup, the correct color and style tights, as well as following the directions given by the stage manager, etc. This is the culmination of their hard work and their education until the final curtain. I encourage your support in this continued process. Therefore, if dancers are not dressed (correct hair, make-up, hair piece, correct tights, correct shoes,) 100% for pictures, dress rehearsal, or the show, they will not be allowed to participate. Also, as stated previously, no balance of any kind on the family account may exist for the dancer to participate. All dancers who are a part of our show participate in the FINALE. The students have learned the dance for this in their classes, and further information about this is included within this packet. It is a fun way to end our show. Right after the Finale concludes, we do a brief Recognition Segment and then say Goodnight and Thank You to our amazing performers and families! After reading through our packet, should you still have questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at tdw.thefrontdesk@gmail.com, in person at the front desk, or via phone! Kindest Regards, Ms. Cheryl and Staff

PHOTO WEEK for THE DANCE WAREHOUSE SATURDAY, MAY 5 THURSDAY, MAY 10 It is that time of year when we get to put on our fun recital costumes, have our photos taken, and run an extra rehearsal in our costume! To ensure that our families are not having to make extra trips during an already very busy life, we schedule our photo times during the dancers class time. Dancers are asked to come completely dressed and ready for their photos, meaning hair, makeup, all costume pieces, proper tights, shoes, and accessories (per the list included in this newsletter). Teachers will call the dancers to class as. All classes will meet in one designated studio/area. They will then go in and have photos done (both group and solo), and then the class will move to another designated studio/area where they will rehearse their dance in full costume and hair/makeup. This allows dancers to see if costumes have issues, how they work with the choreography, etc. Dancers will be able to leave after they are finished running their pieces and their teacher has dismissed them. Please note that we will make every attempt to complete this process during the allotted class time. However, it is possible that the time may run a bit over. Please be patient with us. We will dismiss your dancer as soon as we are done with pictures and running their recital piece. Parents, please remain in the lobby during this time. There s a lot going on during this time, and it will be extremely helpful to have less people in the designated areas during this time! Photos will be available for purchase, and that information and the forms will be forthcoming as well.
