The show order can be found at the studio or in previous messages with the cast list previews. Please pay attention and remember both shows are not the same! * Dancers feel free to bring/wear your costumes in class next week to get familiar with them. It is not required, but if you would like dance in your costumes then you are free to do so. Miss Jordyn would like all of her choreography class dancers to bring a pastel shirt to class and the appropriate footwear to class next Tuesday. * Sign up in the studio for flowers/Subway and the video link. Parents, I strongly encourage you to purchase the video links to the shows. Please watch the performance, when you video, you miss so much of the whole experience not to mention it distracts the dancers and fellow audience members alike when all the phones go up. The link is attached to this message and you can also find it on the website under recital. The best way to get the link is to sign up directly, but you are welcome to sign up in the studio as well. You can pay through the parent portal or Venmo for the links: $30.00 * and More: Summer and Fall Classes are available on our website. Miss Connie's Tuesday tumbling intensives will sell out so sign up in advance if you want to take her class. Her fee is $100 for the month of July, If you dancer has approval and is interested in the pre-pointe workshop there is also an added fee for supplies. Please sign up in advance to help me prepare your dancer for this experience. Remember, there is no registration fee for the summer and you don't pay until you take classes. Fees are based on our tuition rate of 4 classes for $70.00. The schedule is designed for mix and match and flexibility to take and try new things. In the coming weeks, dancers will be receiving fall recommendation classes with our new schedule, or if you are interested in learning more about placement just ask me. Thank you in advance. * DISNEY IS A GO! I have had great interest in performing at Walt Disney World next summer and will be moving forward with the audition process.
