Costume Sizing Week
2020-11-02 - 2020-11-07 | Pirouette Dance Academy, 1706 President Avenue, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
Costume Measuring week is when I, Miss Kiirsten, will personally measure each child so we can pick out the appropriate size costume for them. I measure the bust, hips, waist and girth and add an extra inch or so for growing room. Once I have measured every child, I will then compare the measurements to a sizing chart to pick the appropriate size for your child. You have the option to let me choose the size or you may review the size chart and select the size you want. If you want to pick your child’s size it is your responsibility to reach out to me and schedule a time for us to look at measurements. If you do not make an arrangement with me, you are forfeiting your right to choose your child’s costume size and leaving it to me.
Either way, there is a $10 exchange fee for any costume that is ordered and needs to be exchanged due to a sizing conflict. There is also a $10 fee for XL & up adult costumes.
Due to COVID-19, we are establishing more protocols. I will be using a paper disposable tape measure for sizing. Each tape measure will be disposed of after use on your child. Both I and the student must wear a face covering while measuring is taking place. Proper hand sanitation will be performed in between measuring each child. If you are not comfortable with me measuring your child, I request you submit the following measurements to me via email by 11/2, Bust, Waist, Hips, and Girth.

Picture Week 2021
2021-05-24 - 2021-05-29 | Pirouette Dance Academy, 1706 President Avenue, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
Picture Week
Picture week (May 24th-29th) is when all of the students participating in Recital take pictures as groups and individuals. If you are not in Recital you may take individual pictures in your class attire if you wish. Purchasing or participating in pictures is optional and not mandatory. We will not be having normal dance classes during picture week but will hold fitness classes. Picture week and the schedule will be a little different this year. In order to accommodate all of the class and the capacity limits we have designed a different schedule. Pictures will be taken in Studio B and costume changes will take place in Studio A. See below for schedule. We will also email out a more detailed schedule with students’ names. Here are the new guidelines for Picture week this year:

PICTURE WEEK SCHEDULE 5/24-5/29

Recital Ticket Sales
2021-06-06 08:00 - 12:00 | Pirouette Dance Academy, 1706 President Avenue, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
Recital Ticket Sales
We will be selling tickets for the Recital on Sunday 6/6, 8AM-noon. YOUR ACCOUNT MUST BE PAID IN FULL INCLUDING JUNE TUITION BEFORE YOU CAN BUY TICKETS. Due to capacity limits and social distancing, you are guaranteed 4 tickets between 8AM-10AM. After this from 10AM-12noon, people will be able to buy an additional 2 tickets per dancer until all tickets are sold. If you do not come or have someone come for you between 8AM-10AM you are forfeiting your right to your two guaranteed tickets. Also, if you arrive at 10:00 AM for your two guaranteed tickets, you will need to get back in line again in order to purchase any additional tickets. Seating is general admission so your party may sit together; you just need to leave one empty seat between your party and the one next to you. Ticket price is $20 each this year. **PLEASE NOTE** Due to capacity limits and contact tracing, EVERYONE MUST PURCHASE A TICKET TO ENTER THE BUILDING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STUDENTS. After their last dance, students may sit with your party in the audience at no additional charge as the dancers are already accounted for. If you do not wish to purchase a ticket, your child will need to enter alone and then leave immediately after performing because they cannot sit in the audience unattended. There is NO Mothers Section this year of course since capacity is limited. We understand some moms may be in the dressing room for most of the show helping their child change but unfortunately, we need to adhere to the strict capacity guidelines and this is the only way to account for everyone without limiting even more spectators per dancer. As a reminder, Moms will be able to watch Dress Rehearsal in the audience on 6/15 at no charge. Your understanding and support is greatly appreciated.

Dress Rehearsal
2021-06-15 | McVinney Auditorium, 43 Dave Gavitt Way, Providence, RI, 02903, United States

Recital 2021
2021-06-20 | McVinney Auditorium, 43 Dave Gavitt Way, Providence, RI, 02903, United States
Recital- NEW DATE & VENUE!
As of 4/30, our second location we secured for Recital informed us that their Air quality system in the auditorium failed inspection and can no longer accommodate our Recital as they now need to replace the HVAC system for the entire building this summer. However, we worked very hard and were able to reserve another venue! Since it was on such short notice, there was only one date available. As a result, our new Recital date is Sunday, June 20th at 4:00 PM at the McVinney Auditorium in Providence, RI. This venue is 24 minutes from the studio and has luckily been safely operating since the Fall. Our competition team will also be familiar with this venue as our last regional competition (Turn it Up) will be held at the same place. We understand this is not an ideal situation being Father’s Day but to us, it was the best option in order to secure a facility with a stage that will not cancel the event. In addition, the capacity limit due to their size is much higher which will allow us to have one show with all of our dancers and each child will be allowed a minimum of TWO spectators! More information to follow in a mini Recital Packet we are currently working on!
