Hello dear families!
As we gear up for recital season, we just want you to know how proud we are of your students and their commitment to this performance. It truly takes every person rehearsing their choreography and lines and showing up to class and rehearsals to put on a great show, and we want your students to know their work does not go unnoticed! With that said, just a reminder that being in class and arriving on time is imperative for these weeks leading up to the recital. Would you help us build their confidence leading up to the recital by encouraging them at home for all of their effort? We know you have a powerful voice in their lives and that encouragement can mean the world to them!
We have a couple of updates and details for you. Below is a schedule of the performance week – please note: dress rehearsal in the theatre has been moved to Friday, May 12th.
