Tuesday, May 27th at 4:30 p.m. in the Auditorium at the Newton Highschool.

1.    I like to Move it…..Monday 5:00 p.m.
2.    Singing in the Rain….Tuesday 4:00 p.m.
3.    Move it Like This….Wednesday 6:15 p.m.
4.    What Time is it….Wednesday 4:30 p.m.
5.    Fabulous…..Tuesday 4:00 p.m.
6.    Jungle Book….Wednedsay 6:15 p.m.
7.    Ferngully….Monday 5:00 p.m.
8.    Hit Me Up…..Wednesday 4:30 p.m.

Last Practices/Classes – Please note these last two weeks are VERY important for class attendance. We put on polishing touches, fix small things and just ensure everyone is ready to go.  Please don’t skip classes for other activities. We want to ensure your child’s performance is top notch!

Helping Hands Needed - Wednesday May 21 @ 6:15pm we will be loading and moving the props to the highschool. Yes, it’s just a few blocks but the more hands to help the quicker it will go! If you have a spare 1/2 hour that’s all we need! Meet at the dance studio office! Thanks!

Updated Recital Info “Seasons 08″

We’d like to update everyone about this year’s recitals. This information was sent home in a note during parent viewing week in December.

The 2008 recital is called “Seasons 08″. As you can tell our show is set up around various songs and dances in the four seasons of the year.

The tumbling/cheer dress rehearsals and show will be Thursday May 22, 2008. The rehearsal will begin at 3:30pm and the show will be at 7:00pm. Please note this is a change from the original dates published in our yearly brochure and we hope that by notifying you several months in advance you can plan accordingly. The reason we are doing this is becuase one of our tumbling teachers, Heather, is going to be welcoming a new baby to her family. Her due date is June 5. We are hoping to that by moving the Tumbling show up a bit that will help Heather as well as our students and families with the least amount of conflict.

The main dance shows are Friday night May 30 @ 6:30pm and Saturday afternoon May 31 at 1:00pm.  The 3-5 year old pre-classes will be a part of the main show Saturdy afternoon. They will be in the first two sections of the show and have a finale of their own. After that pre-parents can pick up their children as usual and need not remain for the entire show if they don’t want to.

Please be sure to mark your calendars with this information! Thank you!
