SPRING RECITAL 2008
Welcome to our 32nd Anniversary Recital.
As part of the JLDC dance program, students give spring recitals each
year. We feel that these presentations help to develop in our
students’ poise and a sense of achievement. Please note: students have
the option to participate when they attend class consistently.
Excessive absences will jeopardize a student's performance opportunity.
It is with great pleasure that the Joanne Langione Dance Center faculty welcomes you to its Spring Recital to be held at the
Eleanor Welch Casey Theater at Regis College
Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, 2008
10:00am, 1:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:30pm

EARLY RELEASE VOUCHER FOR RECITAL:
Our recital dates are posted in November.
This allows parents time to plan in advance to ensure their child's
participation in the dance recital. Sometimes however, conflicts
do arise. In these cases, we use a voucher system for those who
need to leave early. Therefore, if your child is unable to participate in the entire performance, a voucher must be obtained from the office, filled out and returned to the office prior to May 8th. This early release voucher format is taken to ensure the safety of all children. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD.
“Babes-In Arms” Policy:
In consideration of our entire student body and their families, and in
compliance with Weston Ordinance Fire Codes, we must firmly request
that families with small children (infants and toddlers on laps and in
carriages) make prior child care arrangements for their youngest
children, as we cannot admit “babes-in-arms” to the recitals. We
realize that you may wish to bring your youngest children, but we are
governed by circumstances beyond our control. We appreciate your
cooperation. No carriages will be allowed in the auditorium. Thank you!
Professional PHOTOGRAPHY:
Students may have their picture taken in costume by a professional photographer on Picture day at the studio, SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2008 from 11:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Please call the Dance Center office to schedule an appointment.
TICKETS: There are tickets available to all performances via Internet. All seats are reserved and available on a first come first serve basis.
RECITAL NOTE TO PARENTS:
Students
have worked hard to make this performance "special". Without the
cooperation and support of parents this experience would not be the
success that it is for your child. As we have in the past,
let's continue to encourage our children so that they will find reward
in their efforts.
