| Our
student performances for the 2007-2008 dance year will be held at
Forest
Park High School on Saturday, June 14th.
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 seperate
performances this year. Please see below to determine which performance(s)
your child(ren) will be participating in.

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 old 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.
Costume fees range from $45.00 to $55.00 per student, per
class. There is also an additional accessory fee of $10.00
per student/per class that will cover the cost of tights,
hair pieces and other props that may be used.

Costume payments are due IN FULL no later than Saturday,
November 17, 2007 for students who are registered for
one class. Students in multiple classes must pay a 70%

If the costume payment and attached
permission form are not returned to VDC by Saturday,

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.

the performance they are not dancing in will be available at
