All dancers should be picked up by a parent after the show in the choir room. We will provide supervision in the choir room.
- BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: All of the baby stars will have a “Mini Finale” after the second baby stars routine. This will be a chance to take a bow for the audience and then go and sit with their parents for the rest of the show. They are not required to stay for the Grande Finale at the end of the show. (This is only for our Baby Stars Students).
- If you’d like to have dinner delivered to the auditorium for you and your family on Friday night, please see the order form in your recital info packet. Subway of Laingsburg will be providing the sub sandwiches.

- Gleason’s will once again be offering dance photo packages for our dance families.
- They will be taking photos in the choir room at Waverly High School on Friday night (April 24th) from 4 – 8 p.m. The earlier you come, the shorter the line is. (Just a tip!)
- Even if you do not want to purchase a package, please have your dancer photographed for our pictorial history in the hallway at the studio.
