Recital Notes:
Parents, please be sure you know what class your dancer is participating in, and which show she is performing in. Some students are in one show, some two shows, and then some are in all three shows. We have tried to put siblings in the same shows. However, it is impossible to get everyone in the show of their choice. Please double-check the shows and the recital schedule listed below. If you have any questions please see Ms. Heather or Ms. Patty.
Thank you.

Come to class in Costume for Class Picture. Look for Sign-Up Sheets in Lobby the week of April 28th for Individual Photo Reservations.
 PLEASE NOTE: All children (students or siblings) require 100% constant supervision. Teacher supervision is during class time, outside of class it is the parents’ responsibility. We are not responsible for watching unattended children. Please be mindful of the Reception Area in the front. No running, screaming, or horseplay is allowed at anytime in the Studio. Also, we know our young children sometimes have accidents, and we need our parents to let us know when an accident happens. We need to keep our environment clean and safe. Also, no pets are allowed inside the Building. Thank You.
