Recital Photo CD |
|
|
Keith Hendrickson has finished editing the thousands of photographs taken during the dress rehearsal and dance recital.
Due to the high number of photos, he has organized them into separate dance numbers for the morning and evening recitals this year. The shots from the rehearsal and recital will be in each dance routine file.
He needs all of you that have ordered the CD to contact him at hendricksonka@carolina.rr.com so that he can place the individual dances your child was in onto your CD. Each CD order will contain only the dances your child was in along with a file that will contain all of the awards, graduations, adult, and instructor dances.
Mr. Hendrickson asks that you do not copy these CDs for any other parents or grandparents. The money he makes from these CDs goes directly into his daughter's dance account, so copying these images for others is taking something from her.
If you have not ordered a CD and would like to do so, please email AAD or complete an order form located at the studio. The cost of the CD is $25 for studio pickup or $30 for delivery.

| I am so proud of all of our students, staff and volunteers on two great recitals! Everyone did a spectacular job!! I am so excited about the progress that you made during the dance year and look forward to contining to watch you grow as performers.
I would like to thank every volunteer that made this year's recitals such a success. Over forty parent volunteers worked backstage, in the dressing rooms and the lobby as well as preparing and transporting the sets and costumes. This production would not have been possible without you!
Also, a special thanks to the West Stanly Players for providing us with a professionally trained technical crew.

Important |
Please read carefully:
1) If you have already registered for Fall classes, but have not made the required payments (recital fee, costume fee, registration fee) and selected your payment option, your class space is not confirmed or guaranteed. You are considered to be on the waiting list and someone else can receive your class space until your fees are paid. I suggest making these payments immediately as many of our fall classes are at or very near capacity.
2) If you make a mistake registering online and register for a class that you do not want, please let us know so that we can remove you from the role for that class and allow someone else to register for that space.
