Recital Info.
The recital this year will be on Sunday, June 10, 2012 at Weston Auditorium at Fitchburg State University and begins at 1p.
Mandatory FULL dress rehearsal will begin at 5p on Thursday, June 7, 2012. Group and individual pictures will be taken at the rehearsal so full dress & make-up are required. Once the entire class has arrived they will have their group photo done. All dancers are required to be there on time as we will be reviewing the finale dance first. Groups will go on stage during the rehearsal in order by age so that the younger ones can get home earlier. The rehearsal order and recital order will differ for that reason. More information about recital will be coming soon. In the meantime if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 978.422.7655  ext 22 or email mariasterlinggym@gmail.com.

Recital Seating Raffle
As usual, the recital is general admission seating. However, you could be the lucky winner of reserved seating. You won’t have to wait in a long line or use bags to hold seats because if you win the seats you choose will be reserved for you. Raffle begins May 7th, 2012 and the winner is drawn at the start of the rehearsal on June 7, 2012. Tickets are $1 ea or 6 for $5.

Fall Registration
Registration for Fall 2011 begins June 1, 2012. A non-refundable $30 registration fee will be required to secure your place in a class for the 2012- 2013 year.

Recital Costumes
Recital Costumes will be handed out the week prior to the dress rehearsal. Students and parents are then responsible for the costume and all of its accessories (if any). Please put your child’s name or initials on everything. Students need to wear their full costume, including hair and make-up, to the Mandatory Dress Rehearsal. Make-up and hair requirement hand-outs will be handed out with costumes. If your child is in more than one dance class they should wear the costume for the first dance that they will be rehearsing. A list of the rehearsal order will also be handed out to all students with their costumes.
Class make-ups will be scheduled, posted and submitted to students who will be missing class on Thursday due to the rehearsal. If you cannot make those dates please feel free to schedule your age appropriate make-up with the front desk in either  advance or a gymnastics class.

Rehearsal Info.
Mandatory Dress Rehearsal will begin at 5p on Thursday, June 7, 2012. All dancers are required to be there on time as we will be reviewing the finale dance first. Groups will go on stage during the rehearsal in order by age so that the younger ones can get home earlier. The rehearsal order and recital order will differ for that reason. Students are free to leave after their rehearsal and class group pictures are done. Older students may bring a snack that they can eat in the lobby since they will be at the rehearsal longer. The rehearsal will also take place at Weston Auditorium at Fitchburg State University at 160 Pearl St, Fitchburg, Ma.
