Recital Dates

We are excited to be begin our plans for our 2021 recitals the week of June 1st-5th
With current restrictions on the number of audience members, we are preparing for three possible options for recital performances for our recreational classes, as well as our competitive groups.

PRESCHOOL THROUGH ADULT CLASSES
Plan A — Recitals for Preschool through Adult classes @ ERHS with current schedule of classes/groups. Audience size may be limited. Please HERE to view the recital schedule for Plan A. Recital ticket information will be sent out later this spring.
 
Plan B — Shortened recitals @ ERHS with fewer classes/groups per show. Recitals would be scheduled on the same dates posted for plan A. New show times would announced for those dates. 
 
Plan C — Performances at WDC WEST location with each recreational class and Pre-Comp group performing separately for family including lights in a stage like setting. 
 
As we learn more regarding the guidelines for performances and audience sizes, we will confirm which plan we will be moving forward with for 2021 recitals. Stay tuned for more information soon!
*********************************************

TOTS CLASSES
Tots Showcase performances will take place on Sunday, May 23rd for all tots classes. See the recital schedule HERE. Specific times will be assigned soon. There will be no dress rehearsal for the tots classes prior to their Showcase performance. Look for more information in the Tots Showcase information packet which will be distributed later this spring.
Recital Costumes
All recreational dancers should receive their costumes by Saturday, April 3rd. There are a few still arriving for dancers that had a late start date.
Hip Hop shoes: 
Dancers in recreational classes with Hip Hop and Boys Only classes with Hip Hop will be required to purchase Black High Top Converse shoes with white soles for recitals.
Other brands may also work as long as they look the same as the Converse brand and do not include any additional colored detailing. These shoes will not be available through WDC.

Dancers will need to purchase them through local retail stores. They are often sold at Famous Footwear, Kohl’s and JC Penney as well as many online retailers. You can view a picture of the shoe style HERE.

**Shoes will need to be purchased prior to picture week: April 12th - 17th, as dancers will need to wear shoes in pictures. Shoes should only be worn for pictures, dress rehearsals and recitals.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Hairpieces to the Rescue
Looking for an easy way to style your dancer’s hair for recital and pictures? Try a hairpiece!
Put up hair in a bun, attach a 'curly hair' scrunchie or another available style and you are set! Just make sure the hair piece is secured with hair pins for the show. A variety of hair colors are available in the WDC Boutique and are 15% off this month.
Important Shoe Reminder
Reminder that all dancers should have the correct color and style of shoes for their class before Picture Week and Recitals. Find Required Shoe Lists HERE
Trophy Note Reminder
All dancers received their Trophy Note in class the week of Mar 29th - Apr 3rd with information on the number of years they have danced at WDC.

Dancers who have danced at WDC for 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 years will be recognized with a special trophy and will be listed in our recital program book. We do our best to keep our records up to date but may occasionally miss someone, especially if they have not been at the studio for consecutive years.

If the number of years listed on your dancer's note is not correct, please inform us of any changes by Thursday, April 15th. Thank you!
Tots, Preschool, and Kindergarten Classes- Monthly Themes
Our theme this month for tots, preschool, and kindergarten classes is: “Springtime Superheroes & Princesses!". We will have special songs, games, activities, along with dance specific skill goals and life/social skill goals that will be worked on each month.
Superhero & Princess Week is April 5th - 10th. Dancers in tots, preschool, & kindergarten classes are invited to wear their favorite princess or superhero attire!
