Virtual Recital Edition
The 8th Count Dance Center
Summer Camps and Class Info to Come Soon
Dear Parents,
Due to the pandemic, our dance season was cut short for some. For those of you that were able to continue dancing, thank you for keeping the studio alive through the end of the year. To those of you that had to discontinue for one reason or another, we missed you! No matter if you stayed or if you had to make the hard decision to discontinue, we want to end your child's dance year with a bang!
This newsletter is filled with information for how this "bang" will go over. Please read carefully and ask any questions sooner rather than later.
Costumes and tights have been handed out over the past month (we still have some that need picked up - please connect with Ms. Bessie as she is currently working at the studio on Monday, Thursday, and Friday for limited hours in the evening).
We will finish up May dance as scheduled! We will also develop a new schedule (similar to what we have now) for the first two weeks of June). The June schedule will strictly be review for recital as some dancers have not done their dances for a while.
The following list is the order of information being given.

Picture/Video Information:
This year we will still do pictures as well as a video recital.
The dancers will get their individual picture taken the day they come to record their recital routine.
All routines will be video taped twice.
Hair - Each dancer should wear their hair in a right part, left side pony. Please make sure that hair is secured because we will not be able to fix your child's hair (video below).
Hair for the tiny tots can be any style as long as it is done for the photos and video.
Makeup - NOT full stage makeup but remember that a little make up with the dance clothes will add a nice touch to your photos and the video (please prep dad).
Wear all pieces of the costume (shoes too), even if you’re not sure what they’re used for and have your dancer arrive in their costume with their shoes on.
HUGE!!! PLEASE make sure your students have the proper color/style shoes - if you need shoes, please reach out now.
Arrive on time for the photo/video shoot.
All dancers are asked to be come.
We will not be doing traditional group photos (we are working on the logistics of this).
If for some reason you are unable to make this day, please let the studio know asap.

There will be no dress rehearsal, however, we will tape the routines twice and select the best version.
Virtual Awards Ceremony - Saturday, June 6 @ 1:30pm (Zoom)
To keep things FUN and NORMAL for the dancers, we ask that they dress up for the occasion. They can wear an Easter dress, father/daughter dress, or a previous dance dress. Dancers will receive special 5-year awards, 10-year awards, group recognition, as well as other special awards.
A package with the dancers' name will be delivered the week of the awards ceremony. We ask that you do not open until the awards ceremony. We would love for all dancers to be in attendance.
The Zoom link to join the event on June 6 is listed in the RSVP event below!
Tips:
*Well lit area in your house.
*Join 15 minutes prior to the ceremony at 1:30 - this way we can help to troubleshoot any issues you may have.
*Make sure that you rename yourself the dancer's name.
*Have the family join the dancer.
