ANNUAL RECITAL
What: Annual themed recital that is free for everyone to attend!
We cordially invite your family members, friends and neighbors to join us for a fun-filled evening of dance.
When: May 21, 2011 (date to be confirmed in August 2010)
Where: Lake Dallas High School
From I-35, go West on Swisher/FM 2181
Turn Right at Parkridge (3rd light)
The high school will be on the right hand side. There is ample parking for guests.
Dress Rehearsal:
Students are to arrive in costume with hair and make up completed as listed below.
Once the dancers have practiced their routines on stage, they may go home and rest.
We strongly advise you to make the Dress Rehearsal and Performance the only activity on this
day. It is very exciting and very tiring for the dancers, so please let them rest in between the Dress Rehearsal and Performance.
You may take photos and videotape the dress rehearsal only. The evening performance will be
professionally filmed and no flash photography or videography will be permitted.
Performance:
Students are to arrive 45 minutes before their showtime in costume with hair and make up completed. Parents will sign their dancer in, drop them off at the assigned dressing room and take their seats in the auditorium. Only dancers and room moms will be allowed in the dressing rooms. All dancers stay for the entire performance as they are all in the finale at the end. After the show is over, parents may pick their dancer up from the assigned dressing room.
Non-Refundable Costs:
There are two non-refundable fees associated with the Spring Recital: Costume Fee and Recital Fee. The Costume Fee will be charged in November. Costumes range from $60-75 each and include all accessories and a brand new pair of tights. The Recital Fee will be charged in March. The Recital Fee helps cover the cost of the production (theatre rental, backdrop, Keepsake programs, trophies, etc.) so the show will be free for your family and friends to attend.
Portraits and Group Shots:
Texas Tradition Photography will be coming to our studio to take group photos and individual portraits of our dancers in costume. Each class will have a specific time slot to have their photo taken. Group shots will be taken first and then individual shots will be taken within the allotted time slot. More details to come regarding time slots and portrait pricing.
Food Drive:
In lieu of charging for tickets to the annual recital, Turning Pointe will request each family bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to social service centers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in need. Let's Celebrate our own blessings by giving to others.
