RECITAL T-SHIRT
Every year we have printed up a special recital t-shirt commemorating this exciting event! Artwork will be posted online
shortly. Forms need to be submitted by May 16th.

TICKET SALE
Ticket sales will be held on Saturday May 14th at the dance studio. For returning students your time slot will be
determined by the order in which we received your registration form. For new students, your child will pick a time slot
during class to determine what time you will come to the studio on Sat to purchase tickets. Everyone must bring their
time slot paper and ticket order forms.  All seats are RESEARVED SEATING. If you have a child under 3 they will not
need a ticket if sitting on a lap, if they occupy a seat, they will need a ticket.   

ALL MAY & JUNE tuition must be paid by May 23rd.  You will not be able to pick up tickets until tuition is paid.  You can
opt to enroll in our auto-pay program for the month of June if you want to pick up tickets.  Auto-payments will be
deducted June 5th.  All credit card information is deleted from our system after the last auto-payment for the dance
year.  If you are interested in auto-pay for the dance year, a new form must be filled out every year.  Any balances not
paid by June 5th, will result in your child not being able to perform in the recital.

This years recital theme is "Dancing for a Difference".  This year our dancers performed at community events for the
Iron Pigs, and also Relay for Life.  This years recital will also include a food drive for the New Jerusalem food bank.  We
ask that you tell family and friends to bring a non-perishable item (they are in need of mac n cheese and cereals) or a
monatary donation (for the purchase of perishable items) to the recital.  


RECITAL – Saturday June 11th & Sunday June 12th
DRESS REHEARSAL
Dress rehearsal will be on Thurs. June 9th. ECE classes will rehearse at 5:15, Act I starts 6:00, Act II starts 7:00. Please
make sure you are at NORTHEAST MIDDLE SCHOOL, Bethlehem PA, and ready to dance by your designated times.
You can find the rehearsal schedule online or on our bulletin boards in the studio.  During rehearsal the children ONLY
will be allowed in the auditorium. They will be assigned seats according to the dances, this is so that the children are not
running around and we have to waste rehearsal time gathering classes together. Parents will be allowed into the back
of the auditorium during their child’s performance to videotape and watch. After your child is done dancing, you must
leave the auditorium for the next group of parents to watch. Please leave family and friends at home; this is not a
performance, only rehearsal FOR THE CHILDREN so they are familiar with the stage, lighting and directions.
RECITAL RULES
* Please be at the school 1/2hr before performance time.
* NO COSTUMES ARE ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM or anywhere out of the 'backstage area'.  Please cover up
when in public.
* Doors to the auditorium will only be opened BETWEEN NUMBERS please inform family and friends of this rule. It is
very distracting to the dancers on stage when the doors are opened and bright light shines through. It is also distracting
to have people getting up and down between numbers. You would not want your child distracted or you to miss part of
your child's dance because of someone in front of you taking a seat, so please extend the courtesy to others. Please
do not go backstage unless it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Our ushers will not open doors unless it is between a
number.
* ABSOLUTELY NO VIDEOTAPING IS PERMITTED DURING RECITAL. You will be asked to leave the auditorium. This is
not only a distraction, but for safety purposes for the children. We offer professional videotapes for your convenience.
This has ALWAYS been our policy.
* Please only 1 parent in the backstage area when you pick up your child. We have too many students for friends and
family to be walking around in the backstage area. We like to keep our rehearsal and recital as professional and orderly
as possible. Please make sure you clean up after yourself in the dressing room when the recital is finished. This is
greatly appreciated by the school.

If you have ANY questions at all, you can email Miss Holly at missholly@sauconvalleydance.com . This may seem
confusing for first time parents and students, but everything runs pretty simple. Recital time is a fun and exciting time for
everyone. This is your child's time to be a STAR!!!!!
