Costumes have been decided. I still have some skirts to finish and some tutus to make. If you have paid your recital fee/donation your child’s costume is bagged up, labeled and ready for picture day. I will distribute them on picture day.

As of now we have 56 students participating in the recital. If you plan on participating in the recital, please pay as soon as possible. To those that have already paid and donated beyond, thank you. There are costs to making the costumes. I have a lot of stuff from past years, but my classes are much bigger this year and I have had to purchase/make quite a bit to accommodate. Costumes are to be returned after the Finale the night of the Recital, so we can use them again in the future.

Shipping on orders is a little slower than past years. If you want anything ordered- tights, leotards, etc. Please order this week. I will have some tights, available for purchase during picture days, but only a few select sizes. Tap and Jazz classes wear Tan tights. Ballet classes wear Pink tights.

I will post the picture schedule this week. Picture day, please be on time to class. Come early if possible. I have to distribute costumes, your child has to get dressed and it takes a while to get the dancers in formation. Preschoolers take longer.

Program Ads – If you have been getting family to purchase an ad for your child or their business, please get the orders into me. We are trying to get the lowest quote we can on printing, but have no idea how many pages there will be. We want every child to have the opportunity to have an ad, but please do not wait until last minute to purchase. We have to have time to put the program together and get it to the printer. If you have purchased an ad, please get me your art work as soon as possible. e-mail it to me as a jpeg.

We have had a few donations toward our Silent Auction. A baby quilt and a gift basket. Thank You.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something, so look for more e-mails this week.

Reminder: No classes at Whetstone April 19, 20.
