Dance Bochette

Dancers, parents and friends of Dance Bochette, we are coming to that time of year again! Our annual Festival of Dance will be June 12, 2011, and our dancers are working very hard to prepare for it. Some announcements:

Spring Break

Spring Break begins next week! The studio will be closed for the week of April 25; we’ll see you again on May 1. Monday night’s Style Class is the only class meeting over the break.

Volunteer Moms

Our Festival of Dance is coming quickly! This is a big undertaking and requires attention from all of us. For each class, we need two volunteer moms to be backsatge and care for each class. Let us know if you would like to do this. You are responsible to line the children up, get them to the stage, collect them as they exit and return them safely to the dressing room. It is fun to do and the children appreciate your involvement.

Costumes

Costumes are arriving and costs will be posted soon. Please keep an eye out! In addition, Ballet wears pink tights & shoes, Modern, Tap & Jazz usually wear tan with appropriate shoes.

Dress Rehearsal

Tech & Dress for all dancers in Festival of Dance information will be coming to you soon. Our theater time is a little different this year with rehearsals meeting after-school on Thursday or Friday, nothing on Saturday and our show on Sunday. You will receive a schedule.
