See below for some important information regarding our upcoming 2011 recital.  This information was also distributed in class to all dancers this week, but I wanted to follow up with an email as well.  Check out the “Recital 2011” link on our website at www.ignitedanceandcheer.com or our facebook page at www.facebook.com/ignitedanceandcheer for additional information and extra order forms for t-shirts, DVDs, etc.  If you have questions, please let me know!


Lessons @ Theater

Lessons the weeks of April 4 and 11 will be held at the Heartland Community School theater to help children adjust to the stage. Because of other school activities scheduled in the theater those weeks, some of the classes will be having lessons at a different time than usual.  Lessons will resume at the studio at your regular class time the week of April 18.  See below for the schedule:

Rehearsal & Recital

A full dress rehearsal will be held on Saturday, April 16 from 8:45 am - 11:00 am at the Heartland Community School theater.  Recital will be held on Sunday, April 17 at 2:00 pm.  More detailed information about rehearsal and recital will be distributed at a later date.

 

Recital Volunteers

As you know, it takes many volunteers to put on a successful performance.  Recital volunteers are needed in many different areas such as supervising backstage, lining up dancers, collecting admissions, running lights, etc.  Come share the recital experience with your child and enjoy watching her performances at an up-close view from the stage!  For those willing to help, please sign up on the bright orange sign-up sheet that will be posted at the theater during classes, or contact Kristen.  Many thanks in advance for your support!

 

Recital T-Shirts

New for 2011!  Recital t-shirts with our 2011 "Let's Go to the Movies" logo will be available for purchase prior to recital.  The back of the t-shirt will also include an alphabetical listing of the names of all students.  T-shirts will be $12 each.  Click here to download an order form.  A sample t-shirt will be displayed at the studio, as well as a few blank shirts you can try on for sizing. You’re welcome to purchase extra shirts for siblings, friends (or yourself!)  T-shirt order forms and payment must be returned to Kristen by next Tuesday, April 5. 

 

Recital Tights

Are your dancer’s recital tights looking a little ragged after all our various performances this year?  If you’d like to order a new pair of tights for recital, please let me know by next Tuesday, April 5.  Tights are $8.56/pair.  I will order tights in the same footed style/color/size you originally ordered for your child, unless you indicate otherwise.  You are also welcome to order extra tights or any other items from our shoe and dancewear collection.

 

Recital DVDs

Once again, our recital will be recorded by a professional videographer, which will allow you to relax and enjoy the show without the hassles of running a video camera.  Our 2011 recital will be recorded by TE Productions.  DVDs are a great way to preserve memories and celebrate your dancer's hard work and accomplishments!  DVDs are $30 each.  Click here do download an order form.  

 

Advance Ticket Sales

Recital admission for ages six to adult is $3.00.  All dancers and any children five and under are admitted free.  As an added convenience, you may pre-purchase recital tickets through Kristen at any time.  This eliminates the need to pay the day of the show, and it’s a nice way to purchase tickets ahead of time for special guests, family, grandparents, etc.  If you prefer, you can still pay admission at the door the day of the show.  Note that all seating is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the doors will open at 1:00 pm on April 17.


If you have any questions, please let me know!  


Thanks,

Kristen
