May 2011 Newsletter -- Dress Rehearsal, Recital, Summer/Fall Dance

The Countdown is on!  Recital is only 2 weeks away...are you ready?!  The dances are done (or nearing completion) and we are putting final touches on performances.  

This is a lengthy newsletter, with info on Dress Rehearsals, Recital, Summer Dance, and Fall Pre-registration…So let’s wind down the year:

Tuition:
 Tuition needs to be paid in full by Wednesday, May 18th.  

Dress Rehearsals::
 First dress rehearsal is THIS SATURDAY, May 7th, from 8-noon at the Delaware County Rec Center on the Fairgrounds in Manchester.  As with all dress rehearsals, this is MANDATORY.  If your dancer cannot attend for any reason, please contact me ASAP.

Dancers should bring:
 -Every piece of their costume (including green shirt for opening dance)
 -All dance shoes
 **PLEASE have names inside ALL costumes and shoes...then if anything is misplaced, it can be returned to the proper owner.

The last dress rehearsal is set for THURSDAY, May 19th at Hanson Auditorium in Manchester.  Mark it down!  This evening will be run just like recital.  


Recital Helpers::
If you are interested in helping backstage at recital on either Friday, May 20th or Saturday, May 21st, please let me know by Wednesday, May 11th.  We need people to help the girls get changed, help with hair/make-up, and other crises as they arise :)

Recital Tickets::
This year, we are offering pre-sale tickets for recital.  Advance prices are as follows:
Family 4-pack -- $10
Single -- $3

If you would like to order tickets, please send your request to me by Wednesday, May 18th.  All pre-sale ticket money must be received by Dress Rehearsal on May 19th.

All tickets at the door will be $4.

Please remember, both nights of recital are required.  Your classmates are counting on you, and the dances were choreographed with each dancer in mind!  You are important!


Summer Dance Camp::
There are LOTS of things happening this summer, and I am so excited!

Dance Camp in Strawberry Point will be June 6-10 from 9am-11am each day at Campbell Park.  Classes are for 1st-12th graders, and students will take Hip Hop, Ballet, and Contemporary.  Cost is $40.  The students will perform their camp dances at Strawberry Days on Friday night at 6pm in Inger Park!  

Dance Camp in Edgewood is June 20-24 in Edgewood City Park.  
Class schedule will be:
     8:45-9:30am -- Dancing in Nature (Creative Movement 3-6 year olds) -- $30

Dancers will perform their camp dances in the park at 4pm Saturday during Rodeo Days!


Summer Dance Performances/Parades
ALL dancers are invited to perform their recital dances at Strawberry Days.  This will be Friday, June 10 at Inger Park (behind the grocery store) at 6pm.  Dancers should wear their green t-shirts and black bottoms.  Please let me know by June 6th if you plan on dancing with us!

Then, ALL dancers are invited to ride in the Edgewood Days parade with Fusion DanceWorks on Saturday, June 25th.  We will meet at 1:15; the parade begins at 2pm!  We had such an AWESOME turnout last year…let’s have even more dancers this year!  Following the parade, dancers will perform their recital dances in the Park at 4pm.  We keep getting a bigger crowd every year.  People are looking forward to seeing your talent!  Please let me know by June 20th if you plan on participating in the parade or dancing in the park.  



Fall Pre-Registration

I know it seems too early to be planning for Fall dance already, but I’m already excited for it!  If you are interested in fall classes, please let me know what class(es) you’re interested in!  If you’re concerned about conflicts with class times, let me know and we will set something up.  As the studio continues to grow, I’m trying to expand my hours and class offerings, and as long as my students WANT to dance, I want to do what I can to KEEP them dancing!
