A few last minute reminders

A few last minute reminders May 2, 2011

We are at the end of our year. I could not be more excited to see all of your hard work in a few weeks. Each one of you has worked so hard and I can’t wait to see you perform at the Spring Concert.

The Spring Concert is May 14^th the show starts at 7:00. Don’t forget your rehearsal and call times (check thedancesource.blogspot.com for class times). You will enter the theater from stage door 3 on the south side of the Ellen Eccles Theater. All fees need to be paid to receive any additional costumes. In order to insure proper credit please do not pay me during rehearsal.

This year your seats for the Spring Concert are reserved seating. Tickets are sold at the Ellen Eccles Box office. Each Dancer should have received their voucher which was good for 2 complementary tickets, that vouchers needs to be redeemed at the box office for your actual ticket. Please remind family and friends who are coming to watch to purchase their tickets at the Ellen Eccles Box Office.

Remember there are no children under 2, no infants, and no babes in arms allowed in the theater during the show, please make prior arrangements for them.

We are having a full dress rehearsal and finale practice on Thursday May 12^th, in the North Logan Studio 2300 N. Main from 5:00 until 8:00. You will need to arrive at the studio at 4:30 to get into your 1^st costume. You will need to bring all of your costumes and dance shoes. Also those who are helping back stage and with classes we will need you there so you can see what costume and shoes they are to be in. We ask that no parents stay because there will not be room. You will still need to attend your rehearsal and finale practices on May 13^th and 14^th.

Parking for the North Logan Studio- do not park along the gray building or on the pavement around the gray building. There is parking along the north and east side of the tan building. No parking in front of any doors or garage doors. The studio’s entrance is on the north side of the tan building.

Parking at the Ellen Eccles Theatre – beware that there are boot lots around the Ellen Eccle Theatre and they boot your car if parked there. You can park in Logan High Schools parking lot (enter on 100 S) this is not a boot lot.

All combo and preschool classes will need to have elastic sewn or glued in place of the ribbon in their tap shoes, they will be given a bow next week to glue to that elastic.

We are holding auditions for our performing classes for the 2011-2012 seasons. Refer to your note about the requirements for the performing company classes. They audition will be May 19^th. We look forward to having you come be a part of our Performing Company. We will continue to have recreation classes for those who want to dance but not make as big of a commitment. In our recreational class we have our preschool, combo, hip hop and jazz classes that will just perform at the spring concert, as well as classes that will compete at 1or 2 local competitions. The performing classes and the recreation class will be like to our 2010-2011 year.

Thanks you for letting us work with your children they are so much fun to work with and watch the kids grow. Thank You.
