We are eagerly preparing and gearing up for remarkable performance from all of the KJ Rhythm and Rhyme dancers. This is the most precious, special and intimate time with your littlest dancers. If this is your first time as a Rhythm and Rhyme parent, you are in for a special treat. If you are a veteran Rhythm and Rhyme parent, you are anxiously awaiting this time! Below you will find details about tickets, performance times, and the costume pick up date. More information is coming...so revisit this newsletter for updated information.

KJ DANCE

Many people often ask what the difference is between the RR recital and the KJ Concert. After 30 years of recitals and concerts, we have found that our tiniest of dancers are more successful in a more intimate setting to perform for their family and friends. In the past, we did have our preschool program part of our "big stage" concert, but found that many of them were overwhelmed, and didn't perform as we knew they could. The Rhythm and Rhyme Recital is an in-house show at KJ Dance Plano. This recital is an up close and precious 45 minute show featuring your star!

Please click on the linked schedule for your dancer's performance time.

Rhythm and Rhyme Recital Schedule

The Rhythm and Rhyme Recital fee is $40 per dancer. This will be charged to your account on March 27th. This fee will provide the transformation of the studio, rental fees, production fees and other production expenses.

Recital costumes are one of the most special and impactful elements to the show. Costumes have been ordered, and we are excited to share more details with you coming soon! Your KJ account has been charged for your dancer's costumes. These costumes will be yours to keep, and you will pick them up on May 7th, Costume Pick Up Day!

All Rhythm and Rhyme dancers will have one more class for the year that will be held the week following the recitals. (Saturday, May 27th KJ will be CLOSED for Memorial Day) Our last week of rhythm and rhyme classes will be a celebration with the students and teachers for a job well done this year! Our staff will cherish this last class of the season with your tiny dancer!

All guests attending the recital, 3 years of age and older will need a ticket to enter. Children that are 2 years of age and younger are considered lap seats, and can sit in your lap. Children are not permitted to sit on the floor at any point during the show.

A photographer will be onsite to take a photographs of your dancer's class and individual professional pictures of your dancer. These will be available for each family to purchase. More details coming soon!

As always, bring your cameras and phones to video the special time your dancer is on stage during the actual recital. We encourage everyone to capture this precious moment.

Please arrive no more than 15 minutes early for your dancer's recital. We will have the cleaning crew busy in between shows, so the doors will be locked until 15 minutes prior to show time. Each dance should arrive with costume on, hair in a bun, pink tights and tap shoes on...completely ready to walk on stage. There will not be a chance to get ready a the studio. Pink lipstick or gloss if desired, and minimal stage makeup...just enough to feel fancy!

Upon arrival, your family will be greeted at the door, and your dancer will be taken to a studio to get ready for their big entrance. Please have your tickets in hand, and ready at the entrance of the studio. If you did not pick up your tickets, please make a stop by the office prior to entering the recital.

Please sign up to bring a snack, treat, or drinks for your dancer's reception during your class time this week. Sign up sheets are hanging in the studio for your connivence. Someone will take the snacks from you before the show begins to set up in the reception area.
