Dates to Remember

• Classes on Memorial Day (May 25th) WILL be in session.
• Contact the dance studio to pick up a form to pre-order a concert DVD or VHS. The videos are professionally produced by Somewhereinthewoods Productions. They record both performances and compile them into one to ensure that we receive a quality video. There are DVD samples in the dance studio to see the good job they have done in the past. Videos are $25.00 if you pre-order and $30.00 if ordered after June 5. The videos are great keepsakes for students. Parents tell us that the videos are well worth the money.
• You should receive picture orders by the last week of dance classes.
• Dress rehearsal is scheduled for Friday, June 5th from 5:00-8:00 P.M. All students are asked to attend. The Finale, including all students, will be rehearsed from 6:00-7:00 P.M. The dress rehearsal is for students and volunteers ONLY. NO AUDIENCE PLEASE! Please drop off and pick up your children at the appropriate times (see below).
• A volunteer list is at the dance studio. If you want to volunteer, contact the dance studio and ask what positions are available. All volunteers recieve two free tickets for one performance and work the other backstage. Please decide which performance you will attend. Volunteers must arrive 30 minutes prior to the performance. Lineup coordinators, the announcer, and curtain and backstage crew need to attend the dress rehearsal.

Dance Recital Ticket Sales

The recital is approaching quickly! There's only a few weeks left. Two performances are scheduled for Saturday, June 6th. One is at 3:00 P.M. and the other at 7:00. Students must perform both shows, though the audience may choose which show to attend.
We have had situations in the past that have made it hard to accommodate everyone attending the recital. That is why we will be reserving tickets with a seating chart.
Tickets are $6 each and will first go on sale on May 30th at the Mountain Grove High School cafeteria between 9:00-1:00 to accommodate for lines and parking issues. Your family will guaranteed six tickets for the concert and choose where they will be seated. If a family has more than one student involved in dance or the student has more than one set of parents, nine tickets may be purchased. When you arrive at the high school, you should know which show you want tickets to and how many tickets you want to keep the lines short. Tickets are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you will not be available on May 30th, you may let us know how many tickets you need and the show time and pay for them in advance. We will choose the best seats available after sales day. You will only be able to choose two seats in the front of the cafeteria (140 seats) so that everyone gets a chance to sit up front.
After May 30th, you may purchase more tickets at the dance studio, choosing available seats. Also, all tuition payments must be made before you purchase recital tickets.
