It's hard to believe that the recital is only a few months away! The teachers and kids are working hard to prepare for this big event. Recital: June 14th and 15th at Patuxent High School in Lusby, MD. The Dress Rehearsal is Thursday June 13th. Times TBD

Reminder: Family recital fee of $110 is due with March's tuition by March 7th. You can pay the recital fee and tuition in one payment (check or cash). The recital fee entitles each family to four tickets for each show that your child is in; plus, it helps to pay for live-streaming so relatives and friends not able to attend in person can view the recital, and you will get the links to ALL the recital shows.

Picture week is the week of May 6th. No regular classes are held this week, but the kids come dressed in their costumes, and a professional photographer is at the studio to take group pics and individual pics. NO MONEY is expected that night, they send you proofs and if you want to purchase you can, but there is no obligation. A schedule will be emailed so your child's class time for pictures could change from their regular class time.

Spring Break is March 25th - March 28th. Classes resume on Monday April 1st.

There is a mini preschool dance session for ages 3-5, in tap, ballet, and tumbling starting Saturday March 2nd, cost $80 for five Saturdays in March!

As costumes arrive the teacher will inform the parents so they can come in at a given time to assist their child to try on their costume. Teachers will inform the parents of any accessories, and how the hair is to be worn. Be sure your child has the proper shoes for each class.

The line-up for the recital will be available no later than the first week of April. It will be emailed to you, and you will need to check the spelling of your child's name and also to be sure that if your child is in multiple routines, that there is adequate time for your child to change costumes. We try to allow at least three or four routines for costume changes.

We are still in need of room moms for some of the classes. The room mom will sit with the kids at the recital, and your ticket is free! Please ask your child's teacher if you're interested.

The next parent observation class (the last 15 minutes) will be the week of March 18th. If you have any questions, email me at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
