5 Year Dance Trophy Sign up

If your child has been dancing at Pirouette for 5 consecutive years, they are eligible for a 5 Year Dance Trophy. PLEASE SIGN THEM UP in the office or send an email so we can put them on the list. We try our best to keep track but we want to make sure we don’t miss anyone. Deadline for sign up is 5/13. If they have been dancing more than 5 years there is no reason to sign up. We will have them on the list for their next available medal/trophy based on last year’s recital program.

 

Recital T-shirt Orders

Recital T-shirts will feature the Recital Logo on the front and a list of all the dancers (even if you are not performing in Recital and registered before 4/1/23). We will also be selling Recital T-shirts that say “Dance Mom” or “Dance Dad” on the back. Cost of a pre-ordered T-shirt is $30. Deadline is 5/13/23. Like last year, we will NOT be ordering any extras to sell so YOU WILL NOT GET A SHIRT IF YOU DO NOT PRE-ORDER. Please fill out the google form with the link below for your Recital T-shirt order.

Picture Week

Picture week (May 22-27, 2023) 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 schedule will not be exactly the same as your normal class schedule. Please confirm your child’s picture time and day as we WILL NOT HOLD/RETAKE PICTURES IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT PRESENT.  Pictures will be taken in Studio B and costume changes will take place in Studio A. THE SCHEDULE IS POSTED IN THE WAITING ROOM AND WAS EMAILED OUT. We will also email out a more detailed schedule with students’ names. Here are the new guidelines for Picture week this year: 

• Arrive in your costume for your first picture
• Leave in your costume for your last picture
• Only change in Studio A when absolutely necessary
• Only have ONE parent or guardian per student to help change if absolutely necessary
• No siblings or extra family members will be permitted in the studio
• No one is allowed in Studio B besides scheduled dancers being photographed and staff
• Please arrive no more than 5 minutes before your first scheduled picture time with costume and full stage hair and make up (more details to follow)
• Please leave as soon as your last picture has been taken
• Picture sales are CASH ONLY– The photographer will not have the ability to accept checks or cards in our facility.
