Spring Recital:
Our spring recital of “Fast Forward—Rewind—Stop”  will be held June 4 and June 5, 2012 at the RRISD Performing Arts Center located adjacent to Mc Neil High School.    Showtime is 7:00 pm.    Final details for recital, mandatory dress rehearsals and photo dates will be available following spring break (March 12 – March 16, 2012).

Attendance:
As recital season kicks into full gear, it is imperative that your children make it to as many classes as possible. Sometimes we feel that just because they “know” their routines it is no big deal if they miss a class or two. However, in order for them to perfect their craft of technique, performance, cleanliness and team work they must come to class consistently. Many of the dances change formations and utilize partner work. Please be respectful of the other dancers, parents, and the choreographers and strive to make class…maybe even perfect attendance

Costume fees are now past due:
If you have not paid your costume fees, please phone the studio office immediately to set up payment arrangements.  We do not assume your dancer will participate in our show, therefore, if fees are not paid, costumes orders are not placed.  We also cannot accommodate any class changes at this time.

Performance Fees:
Each student participating in the spring recital will be assessed a $65 single student or $75 family (more than one student participating) production fee to be paid on April 2, 2012. Fees not paid by the due date will incur a $20 late fee. More detailed information is posted at the studio and on the website as the time approaches.

As always, please don’t hesitate to contact the studio if you have any questions.  Thanks!
