We need 2 parents from almost every class to help with the children, as well as helpers to dress older dancers. This is the key to keeping the Recital moving smoothly and on time. Please consider volunteering, sign up sheets will be on the bulletin board for you to see what classes need assistance. We still need volunteers in several classes: the boys class, both Intro to Jazz classes, Wed. Pre-Ballet Thurs Pre-ballet, Intro to Ballet & Intro to Tap.
