I wanted to give a special thank you

showcases. We all felt so good about it
and were very proud of all the talent here at Allegro. We hope you felt the same way and that your
family enjoyed it as well. Great job to
everyone!!

A
Most Costumes
need to be ordered for the June showcase.
We are measuring the performers throughout the next week and will be
placing orders as early as Saturday 1/15.
IF you are not
planning on participating in the june
showcase, please let rosemary know in the office so that we know to not order
you a costume. Thank you!
It is very
important that you notify us if yourself or your child
will not be in the june show or if they will not be
performing with a certain class.
It is very
important that the teachers need to know before the costumes are ordered and
before they choreograph.
Thank you
**********************************************************************************************************
B
It’s that time
of year to start planning our yearly tradition of our musical review.
‘Mary Poppins’
For those that
are new to Allegro, it is a mini production that includes dancing, lip-synching
and character portrayal. It is a ton of
fun and we would love to have as many involved as possible! The more the merrier!! Sign up will be in the lobby in January. Here are a few things to know when making the
decision to participate:
1. Participants must be in
the minimum of Level 3. (Level 2/3 teen is ok)
2. The fee is just $40 per
dancer for all 4 months of rehearsals and choreography. Money due to Tonya Goodwillie on the first rehearsal!
3.
Rehearsals begin February 24th and are about two times a month on
Saturdays. However, in June there will be more rehearsals, as it gets closer to
the show.
4. Once you sign up, please
stay committed. It is very confusing and
frustrating to all to have people dropping out in the middle of preparation.
5. The choreographer due to
her knowledge of the students and their ability will choose specific
roles. No audition will be held!
6. It is recommended that all
participants watch the movie ‘Mary Poppins’ again
prior to coming to the first rehearsal!
7. Costumes are created based
on each individual’s character. Usually
very inexpensive and from thrift stores or even your own closet!
8. The dates are listed on
the sign-up sheet in the lobby. When
specific roles are assigned, different groups will be assigned to times within
the rehearsal time allotted.
I HOPE
YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
**********************************************************************************************************
C
Be Prepared: Costume money due date is coming up – January
19th!
As early as it seems, we do have to
start preparing for our spring show. It
takes 6-12 weeks to receive costumes from some of these national
companies. Prices will be posted in the
lobby with the pictures.
If you need to make arrangements
to pay half now and the other half by February 19th please let Rosemary know.
This of course is an understanding that
you will be responsible for the balance of your costumes whether or not your
child continues with their classes. This
is Allegro’s way of helping out their clientele because we understand what a
burden costumes can be on a household budget.
Credit Cards are also a payment
option for Allegro Customers.
Other info about
June Showcase Costumes:
All classes will perform in the Spring Showcase.
Some classes will order costumes and some will have them
made.
If they are being made you will pay the seamstress directly
at a later date.
Quality costumes
are not cheap! We promise to do our best
choosing costumes with reasonable prices.
The average price per costume per class can be anywhere
from $30 to $60 plus shipping and handling and sales tax.
Pictures or designs of the costumes and their prices will
be posted soon in the first lobby.
Please make your payment promptly.
Please let us know if you are not performing in the June
show, otherwise we will assume that you are.

Congratulations
to our November Performer of the Month:
Hannah VanderWoude!
*********************************************************************************************************
E
Lost and Found!
Every few months
we donate our Lost and Found.
It is such a
shame how many clothes and dance shoes are never retrieved. Before you go buy new dance shoes, make sure
you check the lost and found first!
Chances are…they
are waiting for you there!
*********************************************************************************************************
F
At Allegro, we
shorten our 1 hour & 1 ½ hour classes by five minutes to give the dancers
time to change their shoes, hydrate themselves and use the restroom prior to
their next class.
*********************************************************************************************************
G
The Allegro Precision Dance Company will begin their competition season
next month. They have been rehearsing
and preparing a wide variety of wonderful numbers and we intend on great
results again this year! Good Luck!!
