Parents and Dancers                                                                           May 30, 2014

It has been a great year. Wednesday June 4th is the day they have practiced for these last few months. Please be at the Ragan Theater at 4:00pm.

Recital DVD's $15 Make checks to Bryce Walker and give them to me. There will be no other Recording allowed that night. You are allowed to tape during the Dress Rehearsal.
 He is able to break through the harsh lighting that other cameras just can’t do. The Year of Dance slide show will be on the DVD too. If you are still interested in a DVD bring me your check in an envelope with your name on it. So I will be able to give it to him that night.

Don’t forget to bring a water bottle and a sack lunch. We will have a break approx. 6:15-6:45pm to eat. They have allowed us to eat there if we have only water, non-messy and no crumbly food. They do not want any brought in food from fast food restaurants. Please clean up any food mess you make and also the bathroom and green room areas.  

Those who have offered to help at the Recital let me know how many seats you need (Reasonable amount) you can get a reserved paper to place on yourchairs after the Dress Rehearsal. If I don’t hear from you I can’t save your seats.

Ushers- We have only 1 usher my son, and we need 2 ushers. You may have saved seats for your family up front too. You would need to be oriented at6:20pm. They will give you a usher tag. You will need to be at the doors from6:30pm until the Recital is over. Let me know if you can help. Ages 18 and up please.

Costume Bag- Please put your Pink or Blue Utah Valley Dance T shirt, Girls-shorts and slippers in the bag. Please put your name on every item including the hair bands and slippers.
Hair bands should be folded in half and Bobbie pinned 4 times in a Cris cross both directions so they don’t roll forward or back.

Come dressed in your First Costume- the one you wore 2 weeks ago to class. Tuesday 3:15 class is on stage first. Tuesday 4:15 lined up on stage ready to go on, all other classes need to be there and lined up ready. It does take a few minutes to get from the parking inside to the dressing area- please plan accordingly.
We will practice the main Ballet and Jazz/ Hip Hop songs 1-12. Then have all the girls change into their Utah Valley T shirt/ Shorts, Boys- Utah Valley T shirts and Levi’s. We will then practice the Pre- show dances and Finale.

Many of the dancers missed practice last week or the weeks before or been late to class. Please go to the Bottom of theutahvalleydance.blogspot you can play the songs for them to practice too. Also All Dance notes will be on there if you lost any.

The dancers are excited to perform for you. Let’s make it a day they will always remember. Tired dancers don't dance, so let’s all try to keep them calm and happy so they have the energy to perform that evening.

Signups for Dance When School starts in August being taken now. See signup sheets. I will be advertising next week so sign up now if you want a place.

We will be having a Flash Mob for National Dance Day instead of theSantaquin Parade this year. Making the float getting a trailer, truck and sound system was just too much.
National Dance Day is Saturday July 26, 2014. You will go online to learn the routine for 2014 and then during Santaquin’s Orchard Days- Little Buck A Roo’s Rodeo we will have a time we will break out in our Flash Mob. We are so excited to do this.  Mark your calendars and let me know if you or others are interested, the more the better. All ages welcome.  You can wear your Pink or Blue Utah Valley Dance T shirt to represent our studio. Other studios will be invited to participate with us too.
