Our recital is scheduled for June 26, 2010 pending confirmation in January from the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center - this location is a proud tradition we plan to continue.  Please pencil this date in on your summer calendar now.  The next cut-off for recital registration is 12/12/2009. Stop by the office if you have any questions.

 

Some have asked why we do our recital at such a large venue?  I would like to take a moment to answer that the way it was once explained to me...  Many of the children who dance and now do theater will not continue these pursuits past their childhood.  A major part of our mission is to build fond memories - what a memory to get to perform on a stage where major Broadway shows are performed...  something they may never again get to do.  Help us keep this proud tradition alive!

 

This year there will be a number of special numbers you and/or your children may be asked to participate in (e.g., Mother Daughter Dance) - we will start taking requests for these numbers in January including announcing the rehearsal schedules.(number of participaties are limited and age requirement of young dancers will be determined) There will be NO recital fee for these numbers if your child is already registered for recital; there may, however, be a requirement to either put together or purchase a costume.  Participation in these numbers, with the exception of Company members, is voluntary.  Be on the look out for casting calls starting in late December 2009.
