VIP & Me Dance

Formerly known as our popular Daddy & Me dance! Who can be a VIP? Someone your child views as a mentor! This can be a parent, grandparent, teacher, family friend, coach, older sibling, etc.  Can it be my child's friend, classmate, boyfriend? No, sorry, not for this dance! 

• All interested dancers need to sign up online by April 26th! Link above!

• We will then divide everyone into groups and send out a video link with step-by-step choreography for you to learn & practice at home! 

• All VIP & ME dancers MUST attend their MANDATORY rehearsal at Hendricks Hall. This will be the only time to practice on the stage as a group- dancers will be expected to already know the choreography.

• VIP & Me Mandatory Rehearsal Times: 

  • VIP & Me Dancers in Show #1: May 30, 8:15-8:45pm

  • VIP & Me Dancers in Show #2: May 29, 6-6:30pm

Recital Costumes

We want everyone looking their best on stage! Students are receiving their costumes in a special CSA garment bag to keep costumes looking fabulous during transport and to help keep all the pieces together in one place!

• After you get your costume home, be sure to take it out of the bag and hang it up in a safe place out of direct sunlight to help release wrinkles. Take extra care not to lose any accessories that might have come with your costume- we do not have extras!

• Costumes with tutus should be hung upside-down to help increase their fluffiness. :)

• You should try on your costume to double check the fit, but as much fun as it is to wear your costume, wait until AFTER the recital to keep it in perfect condition for your performance! We are not able to get a replacement costume!

• If you discover an alteration is needed, you can sign up for our FREE Alterations Day, Sunday, April 28th!

• Click HERE to sign up for an alterations time!

​

Don't worry if your class hasn't tried on a costume! Every costume has a different ship date (some way sooner than others) and we are tracking all of them. All costumes will arrive in time for the recital!
