Happy New Year to all our students and their parents!

RECITAL:  The recital dates are June 5th, 6:00 p.m. and June 6th, 2:00 p.m.  The recital will be held at North Canyon High School auditorium, 17th St. and Union Hills.  All classes will participate in the recital.  All dancers must be backstage 1 hour prior to the start of the recital.  Parents, please bring your children in through the back entrance of the auditorium. Only those parents who are working backstage will be allowed to stay backstage.  All students must stay backstage the entire recital.  For safety reasons and to be courteous to those in the audience, please DO NOT come backstage for your dancer after they have danced.  No dancers will be allowed to leave the backstage area until the end of the recital. Children are well taken care of backstage, if there would be a problem a parent would be called backstage immediately.  Please do not come backstage at the intermission.  Parents who are working the backstage door do not know all the parents—this is for your child’s safety.  Backstage area:  Women only will be allowed in the dressing rooms. Please, no men in the dressing rooms.

Mandatory dress rehearsal is Friday, June 4that North Canyon High School auditorium.  Dress rehearsal will start at 5:00 p.m.  Please arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to the 5:00 p.m. start.  All students and one or two parents must be at the dress rehearsal (please do not bring friends or other relatives to dress rehearsal)—all dancers MUST arrive by 5:00 p.m., this means even those dancers who perform towards the end of the recital!  Students are allowed to watch dress rehearsal.  Students may leave after they have rehearsed all their dances they will be performing.  A list will be posted in March as to what day your child performs.  Some students will be dancing both days; most beginning level students will dance only one day.  There is no guarantee that siblings will dance the same day!  All students will be required to wear a specific color and brand of tights and shoes, a list will be posted in March.  All items needed may be purchased at Dee’s Dancewear. 

RECITAL COSTUMES:  Costume deposits are past due!  If you have not paid your deposit please do so by January 12th.  A costume deposit of $50.00 per costume is required of all students.  The balance of the costume is due when the costume arrives.  There will be NO REFUNDS on costume deposits.  Total costs of costumes do vary depending on where the costumes are ordered!  The average cost of a costume is between $60.00 and $85.00. It is extremely important that everyone pays the costume deposit by the deadline so that costumes may be ordered!    
I will be measuring students January 4th through January 16th for recital costumes.  In an effort to obtain the best fit possible for your child we ask that parents be a part of the sizing process.  I am asking that parents come to their child’s class/classes January 11th through January 16th.  I will have parents initial the size of costume that is to be ordered.  Parents will need to initial next to each class their child attends.  I will be ordering from different catalogs and your child may wear one size in one catalog and a different size from another catalog!  If your child happens to miss a class during this week please make sure that you bring them in sometime during the week to be measured. 

TICKETS:  Parents must purchase tickets.  Everyone that sits in a seat must purchase a ticket.  The ticket price is $10.00.  Please sign up for the number of tickets needed April 17th through May 1st.  Tickets will go on sale May 3rd for those that have signed up for tickets.  These tickets will be held until May 10th.  Tickets that have been held and NOT purchased by May 11th will go on sale on a first come first serve basis!  THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS GIVEN ON TICKETS.
