APRIL/MAY NEWSLETTER
(1) PAYMENTS: All class tuition should be paid up to date. All costumes should be paid for in full. Please remember that all balances must be paid in full before any costumes can go home. Our costume week is in May. We hang all costumes and bag all accessories for you.
(2) RECITAL: Our recital date is FRIDAY 13TH at 6:45 at the University of Charleston. (National anthem at 6:45 and dances start at 7pm). Dancers must be there by 5:45. Charleston venues have increased their prices again so we chose another venue-it has been a struggle. UC stage is very nice. Parents and dancers will have their own parking lot (Keenan parking lot)-just takes a few steps to come in dancer’s and parent door to get to dressing rooms. All other audience will park in the pharmacy parking lot. Rehearsal will be Thursday evening-we will still practice by dancers ages as usual. We will post practice times soon!
(3) TIGHTS/ACCESSORIES: Late next week, we will place a folder and info sheet detailing what each class needs for their costumes. This info and order form will also be available on our website.
(4) ABSENCES: Please try to attend all classes. This is most important for our older girls. If you have to miss a class, please see us for a day/time to make up.
(5) RECITAL FEE: please remember that your recital fee is due by Friday, May 11th. Recital fee is $90 for one dancer and $45 for each additional family member that dances. This price includes a free recital digital download. We will send you the link to the recital, you can share this with anyone! PLEASE DO NOT PAY RECITAL FEES THRU YOUR PORTAL!! Right now Dance Studio Pro is keeping out a larger percentage of all transactions. Please pay cash, check, Zelle, Venmo (Kelly-chapman24) or I can run a card at the studio thru Square. Thank you-I appreciate this very much!
(6) RECITAL TICKETS: Recital tickets will go on sale the second week of May. Dancers do NOT need a ticket. They receive a free dancer pass. Each dancer can also purchase their first ticket half price ($10). Adult tickets are $20 and child (3-12) are $10. You can purchase at the studio or online thru our website. Tickets will be for sale thru recital evening. We will have someone selling at the venue. You can pay for tickets at studio or thru website.
