Our
student performances for the
2009-2010 dance year will be held at
Freedom Senior High School on Saturday, June 5th.
In order to reduce the length of the recital and
to be able to offer an unlimited number of tickets per student,
we are pleased to announce that our student recital will again be
divided into two separate performances this year. Please see below

Students must arrive promptly, in costume, with hair and make-up
done as if for the performance. The rehearsal will begin with

Both Performances: Students must arrive
at Freedom Senior High School 45 minutes before their performance
is scheduled to begin (12:15 for the 1:00 p.m. performance
and 3:45 for the 4:30 p.m. performance). Due to safety concerns
all participating students must remain backstage throughout
the entire performance. Only students, parent volunteers,
and VDC staff will be allowed backstage. The auditorium doors
will open 30 minutes before each performance is scheduled
to begin. |
| Backstage
Volunteers: |
| I am seeking parent volunteers for
each class with an average age of less than 10 years to work
backstage during each performance. The volunteers will remain
in the backstage area throughout the performance and will assist
VDC staff with lining the students up to go on stage, walking
students to the bathroom, helping students with costume changes
and helping maintain order in the backstage area so that the
performance can run smoothly. Volunteers will be able to observe
their child's performance from the side of the stage. If you
are interested, please make note of your interest on the permission
slip which is attached. Volunteers do not need to purchase a
ticket for that performance. |

Information regarding costume fees
is attached. In addition to the costume fee, there is an
accessory fee of $10.00 per student/per costume that will cover
the cost of tights, hair pieces and other props that may be
used.
If the costume
payment and attached
permission form are not returned to VDC by Sat., Nov. 21,
we will assume your child is not participating in the performance
and a costume will not be ordered. If you miss the deadline
and request that a costume be ordered separately for your child,
there will be a $10.00 service fee per costume and individual
shipping costs will be charged to you. The shipping costs range
from $10.00-$20.00 depending on the costume company and could
significantly increase the cost of each costume to you.
Costume
payments are due IN FULL no later than Sat., Nov.
21, 2009 for students who are registered for one class.
Students in multiple classes must pay a 70% deposit
no later than Sat., Nov. 21, 2009 with the balance due
no later than Sat., Feb. 27, 2010*.
*A $15.00 late fee will be charged per costume for
balances not paid by Feb. 27th.
(Applies to students with multiple costumes only.)

| Tickets will be $8.00 per guest in

both performances at a discounted rate of $14.00 in advance
only. Tickets for VDC students who would like to attend the
performance they are not dancing in will be available at a discounted
rate of $6.00 per student. Tickets will be required for all
audience members, including young children, and seating will
be general admission. Ticket fees are used to cover various
costs, including rental of the auditorium for both dress rehearsals
and recitals, as well as fees for the sound and lighting technician(s),
custodians, a school supervisor, and VDC staff members. |
| Photographs
and Video: |
| We are pleased to announce that we
will be using Memories in the Making Photography for our student
photographs again this year. Individual and group photographs
will be taken at VDC the weekend of May 15-16. Details including
the costs and date/time for each class will be distributed at
a later date. Dancin' 2010 will be professionally recorded and
