Chaperones & Security
  If you would like to receive a $25.00 gift certificate for each show chaperoned, then sign up to help us with Chaperones or Security!
 
Earn up to $75. DNE Bucks!!!
 
You could chaperone your child's class or a performance
 that your child is not dancing in...we need all the help we can get! 
We also need some Moms/Dads for security... 
 
Sign up in our reception room after April 1, or see the office...we need you!

Security

 There will be two security checkpoints at the Collins Center at the performances.  One parent or family member will be allowed to bring your dancer(s) backstage to their waiting/dressing rooms.  The parent and child will have their hand stamped at the security checkpoint.  Once you've settled your dancer with your chaperone, you can then leave the secured area and enter the theatre through the main entrance.  During intermission and at the completion of the performance, only that stamped parent or family member will be allowed to enter the secured area to pick up your dancer.  Please let your family members know how our security checkpoint works so things can run smoothly.

Pre-Registration 2010/2011 
 
On April 1, 2010
 Pre-Registration will begin for our 2010/2011 Season. 
 
The $25.00/$35.00 Registration Fee will be waived until
May 22, 2010
Last Season, we had waiting lists for many classes... so act now!
 

 A tentative schedule will be available.   Instructors & class times are subject to change.  All classes will be designated to a performance for the Festival of Dance 2011. 

 If you have multiple children dancing at DNE, feel free to schedule a time with either Mandra, Brenda or Lynn for Fall Registration. 
 
Class recommendations will be available at the time of pre-registration from an office staff member only.  Our instructors/staff make every effort to properly place students in the appropriate classes.  As dancers progress, it is not uncommon that a student may spend several seasons
in a certain level. 
 
September's tuition will be due at the time of pre-registration. 
This will secure your dancer's spot in his or her appropriate class. 
No holds will be permitted.  If September tuition is not paid at this time, the registration for your dancer will stay in a general folder
until the tuition had been paid.
 
The $25.00/$35.00 Registration Fee will be waived until
May 22, 2010
