RECITAL:
We are returning to Wentzville this year! The Family Arena was not able for our
dates this year. Although we loved the dressing rooms & unlimited seating at the Arena,
we really missed the theatre atmosphere of an auditorium with the house dark & the wonderful stage
lights that add to the excitement of the performance.
|
RECITAL COSTUMES:
You will receive your costume bills on your first lesson back after Christmas. Fees are due
your third lesson in January. Please remember to donate to the Costume Fairy fund to help
those families in need purchase costumes for their children.
