Greetings!
Hooray for spring! With spring comes recital excitement. By now, you should all have signed out your recital packets and know exactly when your child's picture day/time, mandatory dress rehearsal day/time, and which show your child will be in. If you have not picked up your recital packet, please see the front desk immediately.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the amazing performers in our Company Concert and Shrek performances. We also thank those of you who  supported the Hero for the Arts 5k.
Thank you for choosing 24/7 Dance Studio, we are thrilled to have you as a part of our family. If you have any questions or concerns, let us know and we will be happy to help in every way we can.
Sincerely,
Gina Korrell, Artistic Director

These Booklets contain specific information regarding every aspect of the Recital. Dates, rehearsals, schedules, ticket sales, order forms, procedures, etc. will be included in this booklet. This information will also be available on the website when we return from Spring Break.
Photo Day is April 29 & 30 at the studio. Please come dressed and ready 10-15 minutes prior to your time slot. Order forms are in the Recital packet.
Recital Tickets will be on sale at the Weinberg Center and online starting April 8 at 9 a.m.
Dress Rehearsals are Mandatory for participation in the recital. Make sure you check for your dress rehearsal time on your costume label or on the report with your Recital Booklet. Allow plenty of time to anticipate traffic and whatever the dancer will need to be ready to perform.
Proofing the Program A copy of the recital programs will be available on the studio bulletin board by late April. Please check for your child's name under their dances and double check the spelling.
General Reminders Students taking hip hop classes are required to have Black Nike Roshe sneakers that are to be used for class only and these shoes will be required to participate in the end of the year recital.
Students in PreDance and Combo classes must replace your tap shoe ties with elastic. This is also required for the recital. |

Photo Days April 28th & 29th
 Students should come fully dressed in their costume with hair and make-up done with the proper shoes and tights. This information is found on the label of your costume. New tights should be purchased for Picture Day. You should bring your order form with you on Picture Day and mark the Dancers' song name on the Order Form. If you have multiple dances, you can write your check number on each form for each dance and turn the check in with the first order form.
We run ON SCHEDULE. Do not be late, we cannot wait. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early. Make every effort to have your child attend so they can be part of the group photo. If you do not plan to attend, please let the front desk know so we are not looking for you on Picture Day. Purchasing pictures is OPTIONAL, but a great keepsake. |

Attendance and Tardiness
 We all have busy lives in today's day and age. Being part of 24/7 Dance Studio is also being a part of a team. Many, many students are arriving late to class on a weekly basis. Children arriving more than 15 minutes late are NOT allowed to participate in class but must watch the class. Every late mark counts as half an absence and only 3 absences are allowed during the recital season. Missing more than 3 classes can result in your child not being allowed to participate in the recital. Your child's attendance is imperative for blocking and their presence helps the other students in the class.
PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO BE ON TIME EVERY WEEK. |

Volunteers Needed
Your help is crucial to the success of the Recitals. We cannot do it without you! Please check the bulletin board for open positions for your class. All the slots need to be filled. There is special volunteer seating near the front for all who help to enjoy your child's performance and at no charge to you! Thanks in advance for your generosity in helping with the show!
There is a mandatory Volunteer Meeting on May 25th at 7:30 at the studio.
