Christmas Program and Dress Rehearsal. The dress rehearsal is Monday November 23 at SJHS Auditorium. The rehearsal will go in the order of the actual show and start at 6:00pm. The order of the show is attached to this newsletter.
What to expect: Come and sit in the auditorium and wait to be called up. This is the students opportunity to watch the other performances as during the actual show, they will be backstage for the entirety (except for pre dance). The actual show will last about 1.5 -2 hours. We will call routines up by their song names and practice going onto the stage to perform. After your dancer has practiced their routine, you are free to leave or stay as needed.

Make up Missed Lessons: If your student has missed a lesson for any reason, they are welcome to make up the class in another similar class anytime during the dance season. This is all on the Honor sytem. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Ms Heather.

If you are not participating in the spring recital, please let Ms Heather know ASAP. If you need financial assistance or just more time, please communicate. If you were thinking that it would auto charge with your credit card on file, it will not. Please communicate your intentions asap. It takes us a few weeks to get everything in order to order everything but we plan to place the order by Thanksgiving this year.
