THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!
PLEASE REMEMBER...
 
ALL DANCERS SIT WITH THEIR CLASSES AND THE CLASS MOMS; THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH THE SHOW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM.  However, IF YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE THEM INTO THE AUDITORIUM, they will only be allowed to leave the dressing room as long as their stage appearances are over.  THEY WILL NEED A TICKET as well as a change of clothes.
 
PLEASE DO NOT BRING DANCERS IN COSTUME INTO THE AUDIENCE!
 
NO VIDEOS OR CAMERAS AT THE RECITALS PLEASE DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DANCERS!

Hello DDC Dance Family! 

We are one week away from DDC's 22nd Annual Recital Showcase, "One Enchanted Evening."  If you haven't done so already, please click on the link below to check your dancer's dress rehearsal times:
 
 
Program 1 starts at 3:30pm June 5th, 2010
 (dancers there by 2:45pm)
Program 2 starts at 6:30pm June 5th, 2010
 (dancers there by 5:45pm)
 
Your comp tickets (2 per dancer)  are waiting for you in the DDC office OR you can pick them up at the door at the Recital. Additional tickets may be purchased at $5/adults & seniors and $3/ages 17 & under.  NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED WITHOUT A TICKET.
 
All AWARDS (certificates/medallions/trophies) AND RECITAL PICTURES will be available for pick up at the studio during regular class times THE WEEK AFTER THE RECITAL, June 7 thru June 12. 
 
The dancers have worked very hard this year, and their improvement will be obvious on stage!  I would like to thank each and every one of you for choosing to have your child attend DDC!  We know you have a choice in what your children do and where they go to do it, and I and the faculty of DDC are so very blessed you have chosen us!!!

         RECITAL VIDEO ORDER FORM
 
Remember, we do not allow any photographs or videos to be taken at the recital due to copyright issues and for the safety of the dancers.  The videos will be shot in standard 2-camera format, and cost the same price as the last two years--$34.95  The Panhandle House accepts credit cards, checks, and money orders.  DEADLINE TO ORDER VIDEOS IS JUNE 19TH!!!
Stage Makeup & Ballerina Bun Tutorials
DanceCampers at table Make sure your dancer knows that the only reason dancers wear makeup on stage is to ensure that their features are visible to even the back row of the audience.  We do not wear makeup to be prettier or more handsome! Below are two YouTube videos that may help "de-mystify" the process:
 
CLASS MOMS STILL NEEDED!
Please check the bulletin boards in the DDC hallway to make sure your DanceCampers at tabledancer's class has at least 2 class moms PER DANCE. The success of our show really depends on these wonderful ladies, many of whom volunteer year after year! If you have not been able to help for awhile, PLEASE consider helping us out so that the dancers will feel comfortable and be able to find their way to the stage door!
 
PLEASE LABEL YOUR DANCER'S SHOES AND COSTUMES AS THIS MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM DURING DRESS REHEARSALS & RECITAL!
 
DRESS REHEARSAL MEANS THAT WE ALL WEAR HAIR, MAKEUP, TIGHTS, AND COSTUMES AS THEY ARE GOING TO BE FOR THE SHOW. 
This way, if there is anything that is unclear, or not uniform, we can address these things before the show.
