​​​Rehearsal on May 13th
Our Rehearsal will be held at the Estell Manor School (128 Cape May Ave.) on Friday, May 13th. Rehearsal starts at 6:15 and usually ends around 9:00. Please park in the front of the school on parking spaces or grass and enter the main entrance where you will see a ramp. Sign in upon entering. For those who are new to rehearsals, the finale will be done first. That is why it is important to arrive on time. The rest of the dance numbers will be done in an order posted on the wall. When your child’s class is done he/she may leave. Please do not ask to have your number moved up as we cannot accommodate every request. This is not recital order. Rehearsals are mandatory!!! Students under the age of 17 are not to be left unattended. Our instructors are only watching your child while he/she is performing. You are responsible for your child all other times. Please plan to stay until your child is done or leave some responsible adult to supervise your child if you can not stay. It is important that your children know who is taking them home. Anyone under 18 traveling with someone other than a parent must have written parental permission.
Parents who signed up to help backstage during the recital should plan on helping with the finale and your child’s class during rehearsal.
Please eat before you arrive. If your child brings an activity to rehearsals please make sure that they clean up their area when they leave. It is unfair that the students that are there the longest must clean up the mess left behind by other students. No running in front of performers. Parents need to walk students to restrooms. They can not be unattended in hallway or outside. Wear proper dancewear and shoes. No bare legs. Tights or leggings should be worn. Leave jewelry home. No gum! Be quiet and polite. Excessive noise makes it hard for the dancers to hear the instructor. Parents are welcomed to videotape their child’s class during a rehearsal. This can be helpful to students that practice at home.

April News 2016
Tickets for the recital will be sold beginning on Saturday, April 30th from 10:00am –12:30pm at Dance Spectrum.
​Tickets will be sold on a first come/first served basis. There will be a sign in sheet on door. Leaving after signing in will forfeit your place in line. After that date, tickets will also be sold whenever Ms. Crystal is available in the office and at the recital both nights. The Stockton Theatre has assigned seats and they all are good!!  The recital will be on June 11th at 7pm.  Tickets are $15 each for lower level and $12 for upper level everyone needs a ticket, including children. You may pay by check or cash if buying in advance but checks will not be accepted at the Stockton theater on June 11. We feel that this is an excellent theatre for students to perform in and most parents are very happy with the great view of the stage from any seat. Unlike other dance studios, students are not required to purchase a specified number of tickets. You may purchase as few or as many as you need. Renting a professional theater is expensive. In the past we always had two shows to ensure that we would have seats available for all. Unfortunately we have not sold enough seats the past couple years to cover the expense. Enrollment is lowest this year and we are certain that we will not be able to cover the costs of the extra day. This event only comes once a year and the students have worked very hard. This recital means a great deal to the dancers involved. They love to see a large audience when the curtain opens. Please encourage family and friends to come and show their support. Tickets are not refundable or exchangeable so make sure you purchase only those you are sure you and your family will use.
Photo Finish!
Class and Individual photographs will be taken on Sunday, May 22nd from 1:00 to 7pm. Each class has an appointment time. Please be on time! Dancers should be in costume with their hair done. Correct shoes and tights must be worn.
