CAST A will be at 5:00PM on Saturday, May 31st; CAST B will be at 1:30PM on Sunday, June 1st; and CAST C will be at 4:00PM on Sunday, June 1st.
Please read through this entire email for information about Rehearsals and Recital, and see the lists below for each CAST to see which show your child’s class will be performing in. We do our best to match up children who are in more than one class, or have siblings, however sometimes we may not be able to accommodate everyone. Please make a note of all your child(ren)’s classes and times. We highly recommend that you save a copy of this email for reference. All classes at the studio and at our schools/preschools participate in the Recital except for the Monday Creative Movement class at Frasier Center.
Studio Rehearsals are at our studio on the following dates. All dancers in that CAST will need to attend the entire rehearsal. This gives all our students the opportunity to practice the show in order, participate in being an audience, practice our finale, and also gives our staff and helpers the chance to learn and practice the order of the show. Please note that the last week of regular classes is May 12-17th. We do not have our regular dance schedule the weeks of Studio Rehearsals.
Studio Rehearsals for CAST A are on Tuesday, May 20th from 5PM-7PM and Tuesday, May 27th from 5PM-7PM.
Studio Rehearsals for CAST B are on Wednesday, May 21st from 5PM-7PM and Wednesday, May 28th from 5PM-7PM.
Studio Rehearsals for CAST C are on Thursday, May 22nd from 5PM-7PM and Thursday, May 29th from 5PM-7PM.
- Our studio address is 4450 Hugh Howell Rd, Ste 7, Tucker GA 30084.
- All dancers in each cast will be there for the full time of 5:00-7:00.
- Studio Rehearsals are a wonderful opportunity for all dancers in a Cast to perform for and to be the audience for other classes. We will run the entire show in order, including the Finale that all dancers participate in to make sure that our dancers are ready to perform for their fans.
- Parents do not stay for Studio Rehearsals.
- Dancers should wear regular dance class attire for Studio Rehearsals (Do not wear dance shoes in the parking lot as it will ruin them and do not bring your child barefoot), bring their dance shoes, small disposable water bottle, and a non messy snack (goldfish, pretzels, etc) in a ziploc baggie with your child’s name. NOTE: NO Peanuts or Tree Nuts. NO Sodas, Juice, or Gatorades. Everything will be thrown away afterwards so do not send containers.
For Studio Rehearsals, we are not having a carpool line as we do not want to block any of the other businesses in the shopping center. You will receive a Pick Up Tag the last week of classes with your child’s Group number/name on it.
4:45-5 – Drop off at our studio door- please park and walk your child to the studio door
6:45 – Pick up Group 1 – walk up to the studio door with your Pick Up Tag
6:55 – Pick up Group 2 – walk up to the studio door with your Pick Up Tag
Dress Rehearsal is at Decatur High School in the Performing Arts Center on Friday, May 30th & Saturday, June 1st.
Each class received an email with your child’s class time for Dress Rehearsal. Your child’s dance teacher will remind you of that time during Costume Check. We will go over all the details for Rehearsals and Recital at our Costume Check. Costume check will be during your child’s class from April 28th-May 3rd. Please mark your calendars as parents will need to attend your child’s dance class to learn important information about Recital and Rehearsals.
Dress Rehearsal is in the Decatur High School Performing Arts Center, 310 North McDonough Street Decatur, 30030. Please arrive inside the PAC 20 minutes early to get your child dressed. Please have hair and makeup done before you arrive. A parent will need to stay during the rehearsal. Do not permit your child to wear their costume or dance shoes in the car.
Parking information for Decatur High School

The Heroes & Villains Recital – Saturday, May 31st (CAST A), and Sunday, June 1st (CAST B and C)
Recital will be at the Decatur High School Performing Arts Center, 310 North McDonough Street, Decatur 30030. Please arrive 30 minutes early to dress and get your child ready. Please have hair and makeup done before you arrive. Once your child is dressed and ready you will leave them backstage. All dancers stay backstage for the entire recital. The recital will last approximately 1 hour and a half. Dancers who have costume changes will have assistance from our teachers backstage. Do not permit your child to wear their costume or dance shoes in the car. The auditorium will open for seating 30 minutes prior to the show starting.
See the CAST Lists at the bottom of this page if you need a reminder of which show your child is participating in.
Costume & Hair
Please make sure that your child’s costume is in a hanging bag when traveling to and from the theatre. Do not permit your child to wear his/her costume in the car. Also, please do not allow your child to eat or drink in their costume once they have gotten dressed. Your child will receive tights to go with their costume at Costume check. Please do not have them wear them before recital. Make a note at Costume check of how their hair needs to be styled for recital. Don’t forget their hair piece. Please no underwear, jewelry, fingernail polish, drawings on their body (stamps, markers, etc). Bun Kits are available for purchase (cash only) for $5. This includes hair net, hair clips, bobby pins, hair pins and ponytail holders. If you prefer to get your own, the hair supplies needed are shown below – please make sure that you get hairnets, pinch clips, etc that match your child’s hair color.
Demo video of how to do a bun is here.
Tickets
All children, not performing in the recital, must have a ticket as per the fire marshall. We ask that if you have guests that become disruptive or disinterested that you please take them to the lobby. We are teaching our dancers how to be a good audience and want to help our young ones in the audience learn how to be a good participant. Please do not hand a phone or tablet to your child during the performance as the light and actions are disruptive to those around you and then become distracting to others. Thank you for your cooperation.
There are a small number of tickets available for each performance. Purchase additional tickets here. Online ticket sales close on Friday, May 30th at 5PM. We will have any remaining tickets available for sale at Recital. Please make sure that you bring your printed tickets or that your guests have their tickets via their phone. We will have volunteers checking tickets at the door and ushers to help you find your assigned seating. You may only sit in the assigned seats that you purchased.
Pictures and Video
During the dress rehearsal you may video and take pictures. However, during the recital no photography or video cameras permitted. It is disruptive to the other guests, and to our dancers to have people holding up phones or tablets throughout the performance. Our ushers will escort you to the lobby if they see you using phones or tablets during the Recital. We will have a videographer for all performances. If you have not pre-ordered a digital download, please fill out the google form here and we will send you an invoice for $30 for the digital download.
Pictures: Recital pictures are Friday, May 16, Saturday, May 17 and Sunday May 18, at our dance studio in Tucker. The picture signupgenius is HERE.
