Dear Spring Performance Participants,

            The staff and I have completed the programming for our upcoming Spring Performances May 31^st and June 1st at Coppell High School Auditorium.  We have divided the dancers into 4 performances:  Saturday May 31st at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., and Sunday, June 1st at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.  Each performance will consist of 2 Acts:  Act 1 of various Ballet Classes which will be named “Etudes”, and Act II of various Tap, Jazz, Modern, Musical Theatre, and Hip Hop classes to be named “Stage and Screen”. 

            As much as possible we have tried to keep the children together by class and to try to schedule them to perform their multiple dances in the same performance.  However, that is not always possible, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.  Nor is it always possible to schedule siblings in the same performance!  Our goal is to not have any show be too long, and to give the students as many performance opportunities as possible. 

By dividing the students into (4) performances, you are able as a parent to bring as many family members and friends as you would like to the shows as there should be ample seating in the auditorium.  There are no tickets for sale….your previously paid auditorium fee includes admittance to the performances for you and your guests.  We do however need to ask for some parental volunteers to help with ushering (handing out programs, seating), and to help check-in the dancers backstage.  Sign-up Sheets will be posted on the Bulletin Board soon!  Please think about how and when you might be able to help.  PARENTS WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO HELP CHECK-IN AND USHER WILL BE ABLE TO PRE-RESERVE SEATS IN THE AUDITORIUM FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILY.

            Once again the Ballet Ensemble of Texas’ Parent’s Guild will be selling flowers for all the dancers at the performances.  Plan to buy your flowers from them and support your performing company!  We will also have our annual Silent Auction in the lobby.

            Your child is scheduled to perform his/her dance(s) at the following time(s):

            Their MANDATORY Rehearsal Time(s) that is scheduled at Coppell High School Auditorium the week of the performance is:

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to this rehearsal time.  Please note that these onstage rehearsals are not in costume unless specified.  Save your new outfits for the performance!  Just wear your regular dance class clothes to the stage rehearsals.

Thank you for a wonderful year instructing your child, and we hope to see you this summer!
