NEWSLETTER STATION! IMPORTANT INFO Below.

Spring 2025 Dancin News! Happy Spring, Dance In The Isle Family! In this Newsletter you will find everything you will need to know and more for our upcoming show on June 1st. Our Recital Theme for our 16th season will be titled "Superheroes, Villains' and Sidekicks!! We are hard at work and the kids are so excited to show you all of the wonderful routines and skills we have been working on all season! Upcoming: Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be happening the week before April break. This is something we will be doing toward the end of each class. If the weather is wet please bring your child in with proper footwear for when we go outside. Thank you. April Break: April 21st-25th. Studio Closed. Summer Camps: We still have 2 spots in our WICKED Camp and 5 in our Adventureland Camp! As you know We will be putting on 2 smaller shows this year. Your dancers specific show and rehearsal time will be in the maroon binder on the cubbies as you walk into the studio. **Rehearsals for most will be on Friday May 30th and their specific time is also in the maroon binder, There will be no regular friday classes that day. Because we will be having 2 smaller shows, Im happy to say that the majority of routines will get to sit with their families to watch the show and then will be called up when it's their time to perform. When they are finished they will go back down to sit with their guardians. This will allow dancers to see and enjoy the whole show:) I will be calling kids at the end of each show to meet me in the back of the auditorium to line up for our group curtain call Dance. Please no Food or drink in the Auditorium. Its important to be respectful to the place we are borrowing. Thank you. MINI MOVERS: All Mini movers will be sitting in the front row with their parents. I will call and help them on stage when it's time for them to perform and then help them back down. REHEARSAL for mini movers will be the day of the show. Those in the first show should be there for 11:25 and those performing in the 2nd show should get there for 1:50 to rehearse on stage before the show. DVDS: I'm excited to announce that LACTV will be recording our Show this year! DVDs have always been a wonderful keepsake for both parent and child and something to look back on for years to come! Also makes a great gift for relatives and friends who may not be able to make it to the show! $20 per DVD. This will be livestreamed which is another option but for those who want to keep the whole show safely for years to come, I would encourage a DVD since eventually the livestream will not be accessible. Sign ups will be available on the table in the lobby after break! TICKETS: Tickets will be available this year through the studio. You can purchase your tickets starting the week after April break the first 10 minutes of each class. Please be sure to purchase the correct ticket with your Child's specific showtime on it.
