The Dance Corner April News

The Dance Corner News: April 2017

Hello TDC families!

Spring has finally sprung and we are in the home stretch of our race to recital! You should have received a recital packet by mail in the past day or two. Please take a moment to read over the recital handbook. This the first time we have put together a booklet like this for families, and I hope you will find it helpful.

It is just an overview. There will be emails and bulletins over the next 8 week detailing specific recital policies and procedures such as ticket sales, dancer drop off and pick up and stage rehearsal.

I know this whole recital process may seem overwhelming to many who are new to our studio, but please rest assured that my staff and I work super hard to make the whole experience as easy and fun for kids and families as possible. Recital day should be a family day of celebration, not a hassle. I promise to do my best to keep the day smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

The one thing I ask of parents is that they please read the recital communications. I have found that clear communication is the best way to keep the recital and all the events leading up to it running smoothly. My staff and I are working hard to keep you informed so you will know everything you need to about tickets, rehearsals and performances.

Please contact us with any questions or visit our recital page. I post recital memos, order forms, running orders, costume info, ticket info and more on this page, so bookmark it and check it frequently for any info you need.

Don't forget our cover contest deadline, April 8th! I can't wait to find out which fabulous kids I will be taking to NYC with me for the photo shoot! This is also the early bird deadline for yearbook ads. Send a special message to your dancer in our annual yearbook. Ads received by 11:30am April 8th, get our early bird discount.

We only have 6-7 class weeks left until the recital, so please come to your classes every week! Regular class attendance is vital to your dancer feeling well rehearsed and confident on recital day.

Thank you for choosing The Dance Corner!

Best,

Miss Carrie
