Ginny Lee Dance Studio Newsletter October 2023

 Ginny Lee Dance Studio  Newsletter April 2023 Recognition: Congratulations to Sophia Hennessey for being chosen Student of the Month for April. Congratulations to all our students who competed at the True Dance Challenge Competition. We are so proud of all of your hard work, and determination throughout the year! A special thanks to Miss Angeleen and Miss Ginny Rillera for their fantastic choreography and dedication to the team! Important Recital Information: Volunteers needed: We are looking for parent volunteers to assist with various tasks at the recital. These include backstage moms, set-up and clean-up moms and dads, and theater door attendants. If you are interested, please see Ginny or Maryann and they can provide more details. We appreciate your help! All children are performing in both performances this year with the exception of the Mommy and Me and Tuesday and Wednesday Combo Classes. All children will be in the opening number Dancing Thru the Decades. All students are also asked to come dressed in their first costume with hair and makeup already done. Children who need costume changes and are not able to change by themselves will be permitted to have a parent/caregiver help them change but not remain backstage. Only women will be permitted in the dressing room. If a male parent or guardian will be assisting a child, please see Ginny or Maryann for alternate arrangements. Please be advised that your child’s dress rehearsal is their last class before the recital. We will email and post to the bulletin board a list of the color tights and shoes for the recital. For dress rehearsal, please bring your child dressed in her/his costume just as if it were the recital. All accessories are worn on the right side. Hair and headpieces should be secured so that they do not fall out during their routine. Preparation will help every child to feel special and confident on recital night. If you have any questions, please contact me. As of the current date, each family can purchase up to 3 tickets for each recital that their child is dancing in (most children will be in both recitals and receive 3 tickets for each). Please let me know if you will not be using yours so that I might offer them to the families that would like more. Programs are hanging up in the studio. Please come in and check the numbers your child is in as well as correct any spelling or name preferences. Tickets will go on sale in May. We will be starting a list for families that request extra tickets. Please see Ginny Lee or Maryann. Summer Camp and Class Registration: It’s time to start thinking about Summer!
