Year End Production...

This is the place to stay informed of all matters concerning our end-of-year production. If you are new to the studio you may be curious to our chosen theme for our show. It is our absolute pleasure to showcase our students (your children) and all they have learned during the year in the best manner possible, but we also want you to be entertained throughout the afternoon when watching children who are not yours. A theme running through the show does this quite effectively. If you do not already know (or haven't guessed by this very pink page) the theme for this year is Barbie. Throughout the show you will notice dances inspired by the movie and the Barbie "culture" we have watched evolve. Some of dances have been conceived and choreographed specifically for the Barbie theme and will be performed by students who have elected to participate in these "extra parts.'

If you are one of the dancers in Extra Parts click on the link to access rehearsal footage.

Visit this page often as we will update accordingly.

During the show we use a very specific procedure to guiding and chaperoning the students as they migrate from their seats, to the stage and back.

Five (5) dances BEFORE their dance they should be brought to the lobby where there is a staging for area for them (this is also the cue for one (1) person in your group to prepare to head down to video row if you want to video their performance)
As the show progresses they will be led backstage to perform
When their performance is done they will be led back to the staging area where they were originally dropped off. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE PICKED UP. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL THEM OUT OF LINE AT ANY OTHER POINT AND BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR LANYARD CLEARLY DISPLAYED*
