RECITAL THEME: “STARS OF TOMORROW”

"Special" Evening of Dance: April 10th @ 3:00 p.m., Timberlane Performing Arts Center, Plaistow, NH. All are welcome. Admission is free.

COSTUME WEEK: The entire family costume bill, any back tuition, including April, and/or any late fees, class fees and comp fees must be paid in full before any child in that family can take their costume home. All costumes will be given out in your child’s classes from Monday, April 11th thru Saturday, April 16th. Please plan on staying at your child’s lesson that week. They will be trying on costumes, and important information will be given out at that time. Costume schedule for competitive classes will be available shortly.

CHAPERONES: We need chaperones for most classes at recital. Chaperones will stay with the classes in the dressing rooms during the show. You will be responsible for getting the class back stage for their routines, and back on stage for finale. You will also remain with the class until each child has been claimed by his/her parent or guardian after recital is over. Chaperones will receive 2 complimentary tickets.

TICKETS: Tickets for all recital shows will go on sale Sunday, May 1st from 12:00 noon – 3:00 p.m. After that day, they can be purchased during all regular class hours. All tickets are $15.00 each, if purchased in advance, and $16.00 each, if purchased at the door the day of recital. No tickets can be purchased if you owe any tuition, including April, or any late fees, class fees and/or comp fees.

ALL TICKET SALES WILL BE CASH ONLY!! All tickets are reserved seating and are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Everyone entering the Auditorium, including babies, needs to have a ticket. This is a fire law. Please let people know so there is no confusion. There is a limit of 15 tickets on May 1st only. This is done to prevent people from purchasing the entire front section before other people have a chance. Note: Mothers who will be getting up to change their child will need to purchase an aisle seat. In order to keep the show moving smoothly, the traffic in and out of the auditorium must be kept to a minimum. To help us with this, whenever possible, please change your child’s costume during intermission. Please note: Children performing in the show are not allowed into the Auditorium. Please do not purchase a ticket for them to that show. However, they can watch any show they are not performing in and will need a ticket to that performance.

PICTURES: Pictures will be taken at the studio May 31st, June 1st and 2nd. More info to follow.
