Category: Recital

Great news!!!

I have officially received the green light approval to use the auditorium for our recital.

It may not be exactly like the usual recital, however we are trying to run it as normal as possible.

There will be restrictions and new guidelines to follow. The teachers and I will review them and I will include details in an email/letter to follow.

Over the next week each class will be emailed individually with specific details regarding that specific class. This will include times for tech rehearsal, dress rehearsal and arrival times for performances.

For now, these upcoming dates are IMPORTANT: 

-April 12^th – April 17^th Costume distribution

• Tuition and costume payments must be up to date including April to receive any costume.

-April 18^th Ticket sales start – $16 each

• We will not be having an in person ticket day this year. We are only allowed to sell ½ the capacity of the auditorium with 3 – 6 ft between each seat. With this restriction we will have to sell tickets by assigned numbered seats not general admission. I am in the process of setting up ticket sales through the portal.

-April 28^th Picture day

• I will send out a google doc for you to choose a time slot to have your child’s picture taken. If you are planning on having their picture taken in multiple costumes please select a time slot for each costume.

-May 1^st Tech rehearsal

• We have a tech rehearsal to make sure the music is correct, lighting, to go over spacing on the stage, getting used to dancing on the stage and to correct any backstage issues that we may not be aware of in the studio.
  • 10:15 Saturday preschool unicorns, Tuesday/Friday General 1 train conductors, Saturday 12 pm General 2 Ice skaters ,and Saturday 9 am General 3 rockettes will attend this rehearsal with their costumes on. The other preschool and General classes will come to dress rehearsal.
  • All older classes will come to tech in their dance attire (black – including leotards, dance pants, pink tights) with all the dance shoes they need and hair up.

-May 5^th Dress rehearsal

• We have dress rehearsal to familiarize ourselves dancing in our costumes before the shows, fix any issues the costume may have or to see if we need to add any accessories we didn’t think about in studio. It also helps to practice quick changes  Everyone will be in costumes with hair styles assigned by the teacher.
  • Preschool Friday 10:15 am unicorns, General 1, Saturday 11 am, General 1 train conductor, Monday 4:15 pm General 2 ice skaters, Friday 4pm General 3 rockettes will come to this rehearsal in their costumes.

Any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask! 

We are excited for our official spring performances!!!

We have finalized a place to have our Photo Day on Thursday, October 15th from 12–8. The owner of the condo next to us has graciously agreed to let us use the space.

I have attached a google sign-up sheet with time slots available here: Photo Day Sign Up Sheet

Please add your name to the time that works best for you. This is a live sheet so the moment you put your dancers name in a slot that slot is no longer available for someone else. If you do not have the ability to open the google sheet you can send me an email and I will be happy to put your dancer on the list.

We are only allowing 4 dancers every 15 minutes to help with social distancing. Dancers do not need to wear a face mask for pictures but everyone needs to wear them while waiting.

The cost for the package is $40 for first costume $35 for each costume after that. Nancy is accepting cash and checks. Download and print the form here:  Nancy Green’s Dance Package Form

Dancers who have decided to take this year off are still welcome to get their picture taken at this event. You can make an appointment to pick up your costume anytime.

As always please let me know if you have any questions.

I can’t believe it is already October. It’s going to be a busy month!

This year, because of the performance on the 17^th we will be having class on Columbus Day.

Starting Saturday October 10^th through Friday October 16^th we will be having a dress rehearsal during class time. The students should check with their teacher if they should wear their costume or just bring it to class.

October 17^th is our performance day. The rain date will be Sunday October 18^th. If Sunday is also rained out we will record our dances at the studio. I sent out a new time schedule. Not all classes were affected but make sure you go by the schedule dated 9/30/20.

We will be having a picture day. I’m not able to do it at studio with all the classes needing the time to finalize their dances. So as soon as I confirm the space where we’ll be having it I will send all the info and a google sign up sheet. The tentative date right now is Thursday, October 15^th from 12-8. Even if you are not doing the performance this October you can get your picture taken with Nancy Green Photography

Due to our performance we will not have classes on Saturday October 17^th. This event is in place of the recital we couldn’t have in May.

We will be having classes on Saturday October 31^st (Halloween).

This year I will be sending invoices out through the portal the 1^st of the month.  Payments are due by the 15^th. After the 15^th a $15 late fee will automatically be added by the portal. This year instead of 2 costume payments I will be dividing  everyone’s costume total by 7 months and adding it to the monthly tuition. If you do not want to pay costumes this way please let me know so we can set up a different payment plan.

You can set up automatic payments or pay manually by credit card through the portal. You can also still pay with check or cash.

• If you pay by cash each month you will receive 10% off of your tuition.
• If you pay for the full year with credit card or check you will receive 10% off your tuition.
• If you pay for the full year with cash you will get 15% off your tuition.

We will continue this month with our guidelines.  They seem to be working well, especially now that everyone knows what to expect.

Hi Dance Families,

Below is the time table for each dance. I tried to keep all the dances for each students in a 2–3 hour time frame so it would not affect anyone’s whole day. However, there may be a few exceptions.

As I have mentioned before, this will not run like a typical recital. We are having the children perform so we can record their dances and put it together in a recital format. We are allowing each students parents and siblings to come watch them perform. We ask that you respect this limitation so we can keep the number of people attending to the amount we are allowed according to state guidelines.

To keep things running smoothly we have developed as system.

1. The first time on the list is your arrival time. Please do not be late. The next time listed is the estimated performance time When the class is ready to go on the stage we are unable to wait for those students that are not there or forgot part of their costumes.
2. When you arrive students need to go to check in area. We do not have super moms at this event so please do not just drop off your young dancer.
3. After the class is checked in they will be brought to the set up area where a teacher will put them in order to go on stage.
4. At this point you may go wait in line for the seating area. Please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on.
5. The class will then perform their dance.

A. If this is your students only dance you will exit the seating area to the right (stage left) and meet your child at the exit. You are now free to go home and enjoy the rest of your day.

B. If your student is in tap and jazz or back to back dances they will need to go change as quickly as possible into their next costume and go to the set up area as soon as they are done. We are planning on setting up an outdoor changing area. You can also have them go back to the car to change. You may leave your chair or  blanket where it is, go-out the exit side of the seating area and help them change, then re-enter through the entrance side of the seating area.

1. If your student is in another dance but has a good amount of time in between we ask that you exit the seating area to keep our audience numbers within the guidelines and have a snack at the car, run home for a quick break, take a walk, or anything else you would like to do.
2. After your child performs their last dance you will meet them at exit and they can leave for the day

Spectators must wear mask and students must wear masks while they are waiting.  Each teacher will let their class know if they will be wearing masks during the performance as well.

This event will be held outside at the Carver Middle/High school on Saturday, October 17^th. Times are listed below.
