The Dance Corner April News

The Dance Corner News: April 2018

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 last month. Please take a moment to read over the recital handbook.

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 7th! We have one more winner's spot left. I can't wait to find out which of our 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 11:30 am April 7th, get our early bird discount.

We only have 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

Every family will receive a pre-sale code via email to access ticket sales on their sales date. Pre-sale codes will be emailed to families. Two household families may share a pre-sale code. There is a limit of up to 12 tickets per family for each Legends and Divas performance during our Pre-sale days. You may buy additional tickets starting May 8th with no limit. Tickets are $20 per person for the Legends and Divas performances.

There is no limit on the number of tickets families can purchase for the Shining Stars Showcase. Shining Tickets to the Shining Stars Showcase are $15 per person.

Anyone who needs a seat must have a ticket. Children under 5 do not need a ticket unless they need their own seat. Due to fire codes we can't allow strollers in the aisles and sitting in the aisles or steps is not permitted. Young children must sit on a lap or in a seat.

If you have dancers in both Legends and Divas shows you will receive a coupon code for up to 6 discounted tickets. These discounted tickets are for the same person to attend both Legends and Divas performances. We do not offer a discount for the Shining Stars Showcase.

Due to the limited number of handicapped accessible seats available, there is a maximum of two special seating seats per family. If you need additional handicapped accessible seats for your family, please contact Miss Carrie for an access code.

May tuition is due by May 1st.

You will not receive your pre-sale code for online ticket purchase until your balance is paid in full.

Families carrying past due balances will not receive a pre-sale code or be able to purchase tickets until their balance is paid in full.

Stage Rehearsal

The onstage rehearsal will be held Friday, May 25th. Classes will have the opportunity to practice their recital dance onstage and get comfortable with the spacing, entrances and exits, etc at the recital venue.

The rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the beginning of May. Each class will have a 5-15 minute block of time to rehearse.

As you can imagine, it is difficult to create a schedule that is convenient for all Dance Corner families. Please let Miss Nicole know about any school concerts, field trips etc, that may interfere with your child's ability to attend rehearsal by April 13th.

We will do our best to schedule classes at times that work for everyone.

**Normal dance wear should be worn for the rehearsal. No costumes please.**
