 Need Help?

We are available to help. Please call or e-mail anytime. If you do not reach us right  away, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

 

 Our competition season begins the first weekend of March. Since we are out at competitions most weekends, we are not in the office on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Please be patient with us during this time of the season. We have very limited office hours, but will work to get back to you as soon as we are able.

Greetings!

 

Happy snowy President's Day! We will have class today. Please leave yourself plenty of time and use caution on your drive here. If your dancer will be absent today, please let us know.

Recreational Class Picture Day 
Saturday, March 19 
at the studio
10:30-2:30 p.m.  

 

 Click here to view the Recreational Picture Day Schedule

The picture day schedule will also be handed out in class this week. 
 
This is required for all recreational dancers. Please be ready for your first picture at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled picture time.
 
  • Pick up picture order forms at the studio (at the front desk). You need one color form per dancer and one black and white form for each additional costume. If you are not purchasing a picture, you do not need a form.
  • Forms should be filled out in full before your dancers' picture times. Please check with the Star Photography representative in the lobby to make sure that your forms are correct and that payment has been received.
  • Each class is assigned a specific dressing area. All dancers need to either be able to do their own hair, make-up and costume changes, or have someone there to assist them (females only for female dancers). Please be fully prepared at least 30 mintues prior to your first picture time.
  • Classes will be brought into the blue studio one at a time to line up for group and individual photos. Parents are not allowed in the blue studio during pictures.
  • Dancers are free to leave following their final picture time (applies to Recreational Picture Day only).
 
Make Up Classes 

We scheduled 37 of each class this season, but have only charged for 36. This is in anticipation of the inevitable snow day cancellations. Unfortunately, we had two major snow storms on Saturdays in December. We will offer make up classes for the second canceled Saturday during the week prior to the spring recital. Look for exact days and times in your April newsletter. 

Spring Recitals 
Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 4. We will have two-three recitals on that day at the beautiful, Arts Center on 7 (Minnetonka High School Theater).  

 

Our recreational recitals are in the morning and afternoon and our competition show is in the late afternoon/evening. The exact show times and show assignments will be announced soon.

Recreational dancers will dance in one of the two earlier shows. Competition dancers will dance in the last show and many will also dance in one or both of the earlier shows. 

 

 

Recital tickets are $14 for adults and $12 for students (ages 5 and under are free). Tickets will go on sale in April.
