Competition/Performance Reminder
Company dancers are committed to the entire weekend for all scheduled competitions and performances. Please do not schedule any additional commitments for your dancer until you are certain of the exact schedule. Schedules will be emailed to you and available in the lobby one week prior to each competition. Recital, rehearsal and picture schedules are available approximately one month prior to each event.

Remember that your dancer MUST be in class the week prior to a performance/competition in order to perform.
  
If your dancer has a conflict that arises between now and the competition/performance date it is expected that she/he attend the competition/performance. Your dancer has committed to all competitions and performances for this season through the Midwest Starz Nationals, June 16-19 in Wisconsin Dells. Please remember this as you make non-dance plans for the spring.

Please check the company calendar today at www.dancexchange.org and sync it with your family calendar.
