STUDENT ASSESSMENTS/SEASON 3 SCHEDULE
In the next couple of weeks, each family will receive an email with their dancer’s Student Assessment(s) for Season 2.  This is a helpful tool that can inform you on what your dancer needs to work on plus it will have our recommendations for what class/classes your student should take next season.  We will include the Season 3 schedule plus the class descriptions so you are fully prepared for our VIP registration on June 4th, 4-8pm.  Reminder that you will receive a $15 credit on your account if you register during this time frame. Classes are SURE to fill so don’t miss out on the ideal schedule for your family!

RECITAL WEEK – June 1st, 2nd & 3rd
Recital week will consist of a 15min staging rehearsal as well as their final year-end performance.  During their staging rehearsal, dancers do not have to wear their costume but they MUST wear appropriate shoes.  We will be staging their dance and letting them practice it a couple of times in the actual performance space.  STAGING REHEARSALS ARE MANDATORY FOR SAFETY REASONS.  If your dancer misses the staging rehearsal, they will not be allowed to participate in the performance.  All staging rehearsals & performances will take place in the UC Ballroom at the University of Montana.
