FlipBox Productions.
You can leave completed order forms at our front desk.

The price per show is $30.
Be sure to specify which show time you want,
1:00, 4:00 or 7:00 pm. 
If you have dancers in more than one show additional shows may be ordered at a discount.

Your kids will get hours of enjoyment watching themselves and their friends on TV.


You may videotape your child yourself at the Dress Rehearsal.  This is a good time to get closeup shots of just your child. 
If you wish to videotape at the show on the 10th, you may only do so from the balcony. To ensure that no one's view is obstructed, you may only tape from your seat. No tripods or taping in the aisle ways or stairs will be permitted.
Thank you for your understanding of these rules and for helping to making everyone's day more enjoyable!

recital 2013  Recital 2013 - 
        Sunday, June 9th  

We are in our final countdown to the big day! Just a few days left! The Recital page on our website contains information and guidelines for making it a great event for all involved.  Please read over everything, especially the Details, Details sheet.  It has a section just for our Combo class parents.  If there is snything you aren't clear on or don't understand, just ask. 

  Each show will last just over 90 minutes.  We do ask you to stay for the entire show.  With this length we do not have an intermission.  It's very distracting for the dancers and the rest of the audience if people get up to leave during the performance.  We know you wouldn't want to miss seeing your child dance because someone is exiting from the row in front of you.  Please give all the dancers the respect they deserve by staying for the entire performance.  The dancers will be supervised backstage during the show and may be picked up after the finale.

  Our Dress rehearsals will be Saturday, June 8th at the Mason High School.  A rehearsal schedule is posted on your Recital page.  There is a copy sorted by day and class and a copy in recital order. Check to make sure you know what time your class is scheduled to rehearse.  We have a lot of songs that are duplicated in 2 or all 3 of the shows so be sure to look at the class day & time as well as the song title. 

Saturday is a full dress rehearsal for all students.  Dancers are to be in full costume including the correct shoes, tights, hair and makeup.  Hairstyles are listed on the Costume Previews on the Recital page. 

We will also have a Tech Rehearsal (in practice clothes) for the Pre-Pro Ballet on Friday, June 8th. Warm-up for them starts at 6:00 Friday at MHS.  Dancers will be finished by 8:00 pm.

  We try our best to make sure that everyone has all the details needed so you will be able to relax and enjoy the show.  It will be here before you know it!

Recital Thoughts
As the time for recital nears & things grow ever more hectic, we hope that you will keep in mind that the recital is a day for the students.  We want them to go on stage at least moderately relaxed & enjoy their day, proud of what they've learned this year.  Things may not always go perfectly, but the audience usually is unaware of little errors.  As adults we sometimes get so wrapped up in all the details that we lose sight of the kids' perspective.  We hope they have a great day & you enjoy their show!

Have a great week!  See You Soon!
Sincerely,
Ms Bobbi
and all the staff at Mason Dance Center
