Recital Guide Saturday, May 4th Gorton Community Center
February 28, 2019 Dear Parents of Lake Forest Dance Academy Preschool dancers, We are excited to invite you to the Lake Forest Dance Academy Preschool Recital 2019 Candy Land! This recital is meant to be a stress free, FUN experience for all! We are very aware that anything and everything can happen when we put children this age on stage and we firmly believe every experience is important. Your child may stand there in her/his costume and wave to you; she/he may perform beautifully; she/he may see you and decide to go sit with you instead of dancing at all! All of these are positive ways to introduce your child to performing on stage. There are 2 Shows: Show A and Show B. Attached is a list of each show noting which classes are in Show A or B. *NEW* Photo day is Sunday, April 7. All dancers will have a group photo taken - please see attached Photo Day Information and Schedule. Be sure to arrive no later than 15 minutes before your scheduled photo time. Dancers in more than one dance should bring all costumes with to change into before their next pictures. *NEW* Dress Rehearsal and the Recital is on the same day: Saturday, May 4. Show A performance is at 11:00 am with an arrival time of 10:00am for dress rehearsal. Show B is at 1:00pm with an arrival time for dress rehearsal at 12:00pm. Upon arrival, bring your dancer to the hallway at the north end of the theater. All classes will have a designated gathering area. Your dancer will be supervised by volunteers, teachers, and students who will also help with costume changes. *NEW* Once you have dropped your dancer off you may wait in the lobby to buy tickets, flowers or refreshments. You may also leave to grab coffee and come back in time for the show. Unless you are a volunteer you will not be allowed in the theater or back stage during dress rehearsal. Location for rehearsals and recital is at The John and Nancy Hughes Theater at Gorton Community Center, 400 East Illinois Road Lake Forest. The week of April 1-6, you will receive specific class recital day information from your child's teacher.
