We hope you have all had a wonderful and restful winter break. Please read through this e-mail carefully as it contains some very important information.

In two weeks we will be having our January Recital.  The dress rehearsal is on Friday January 18th, and the show is on Saturday January 19th. Both of these will be held at the VIU Malaspina Theatre (building 310). Here is a link to the map - map https://www.viu.ca/map.  Please note, pay parking is in effect Mon-Sat and the parking lot can be quite busy during the week so please be sure to arrive early. Here is a link to the dress rehearsal and recital schedule - https://www.srdanceacademy.ca/january-recital-2019.html.  Please be sure to check which show your dancer is in before buying your tickets. Pre-purchase tickets are available online and at the studio, and any remaining tickets will be sold at the door. If you purchase your tickets online, they can be picked up at the studio, or will be waiting at the box office for you. Tickets will not be available at the Dress Rehearsal. Please note, dancers do not need a ticket and can attend any of the 3 shows for free.

Costumes will be given out the week of January 7.  It is your responsibility to keep them clean and safe (please do not allow your child to wear it around the house).  Aside from hip hop and breakdance costumes, all others are rentals and must be returned the day of the show. Please have your dancer arrive in their costume but bring a change of clothes for after.
