Spring Performance
The Spring Performance will be on Thursday, June 17, 2006. Please plan for some extra rehearsals in May and 2 Sunday rehearsals in June. Dress Rehearsal will be June 16th. These are mandatory. Please do not plan vacations or agree to be somewhere else doing anything else at these times. The Spring Performance showcases our dancers and is a group effort. It is not a reward. Everyone must be present for every rehearsal because the pieces are group pieces. After March 1st you will only be allowed 3 unexcused absences if you want to participate in the performance. All rehearsal times, including classes, are very important for the performance.

Fundraising
Dance Harrison Street is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. We cannot exist without fundraising (unless you want to pay a lot more in tuition!) Therefore, we ask that every family participate in the fundraising efforts this year. Support for the arts is so difficult to come by and yet the arts are so important in the growth, education, discipline, and commitment of our children.
