June is finally here, very soon all the months of hard work will pay off for our dancers! We will soon take the stage in the name of Jesus and dance joyfully in His name. Celebration Street is now officially 10 years old, we are excited to celebrate this milestone with you and our community. Please help spread the word of our June Recital to family, friends & co-workers, not only will your children be demonstrating the skills they have learned over the past year but most importantly ministering and praising the Lord with their dance.

Important Request - We have had a recent request from our landlord to post signs in the hallways asking for no running. At this time, due to several complaints last Thursday from our landlord we must ask that all siblings stay within sight of their parents while other children in their families are in class. We know how hard it is, and our space is small, but we please ask for your understanding in this matter. Please feel free to bring games, books, drawing items and toys (relatively quiet ones). The children can also play at the base of our stairs where our white/message board is but not in the hallway from the area of the restroom to down the end of the hallway where the new studio will be. We love our families, and aim to find a happy balance in this situation for all. If you have any questions please let us know.

Dress rehearsal is mandatory for all dancers. If you should miss the dress rehearsal you will not perform in the Recital. Please arrive at 4:00 pm with your child dressed in costume, hair and makeup done. Please treat this just as you would the normal recital as Studio Gagliano will be doing live photographer of our dances – these photographs will later be available for purchase through their office. You may video tape your child at dress rehearsal only, because our recital is professionally videotaped we must ask this, thank you for understanding. DVD’s of the recital will be available for sale through Bruised Heal Productions. We anticipate rehearsal to go until 7:00 or 7:30 pm – If you are dropping your child off we need you to be back to pick them up at 7:00 pm even though we may not be quite done. We will work the Finale first, and then run through the show completely (if your child is in Lower School you may leave after the first run through). We will then do a second run through will Upper School.
