REHEARSAL SCHEDULE Thursday May 29, 2008 At Leach Theatre, UM-Rolla (Castleman Hall)

Please note your child's time. I know you will have to make special arrangements for those rehearsing, so I wanted to give you plenty of notice. All students MUST be at the rehearsal in order to be in the recital! Regular Dance attire…no costumes!

**Parents… there is a lobby to the theatre for you to wait and visit in. We found last year, having parents in the rehearsal was a bit of a distraction to the students. Rehearsal is going to be closed this year, so we can have the students’ complete attention.

THURSDAY Rehearsal (29th)
                        Monday 4:15, Tues 5 & Wed 4:30 Dance                    5-6 PM

I will stay as close to this schedule as possible! If we finish early, then students can leave early. This is a rehearsal atmosphere and needs to move promptly to ensure everyone knows what is going on! I really stress professionalism when putting on a show, and I greatly appreciate your support on this! Those parents that stay, please wait in the waiting room until your child is finished. Students should not be running in and out and all around.

RECITALS WITH DANCE EXPRESS
Dance Express holds one annual recital at the end of May. All of the dancers are invited to participate in the recital. Costumes are selected in the late fall/early winter and arrive in the spring.
Our dance recitals are held at UM-Rolla--Castleman Hall. We will have two shows.
Parents have the OPTION every year to purchase picture packages and to have photos taken of their children in their recital costumes. Miss Lisa always assists at each photo shoot with each dancer to make sure they have the best pose and smile to make an excellent picture. We always use Carey Moritz-Unique Photos and prices are given out in early spring. Group pictures will also be available.
