A New Home for CBA!
Dancewear Order
After a long search, we have found a new home for
CBA! As most of you have noticed, we have
outgrown our current home. Our new location will
have two studios, including one that is much larger,
with high ceilings for the big jumps and lifts our
older dancers do. There will be two dressing rooms
and other features that will make it a much more
comfortable home for dancers, parents and staff.
This new location is just right down the street at
109 N. Tower. Please note that we will not be
moving until this summer, though you will see a "for
rent" sign posted.
If your child will need new dancewear for the recital,
please let us know by May 16. All Explore Dance
and ballet students will need dress code leotards,
tights and shoes. Ladies performing en pointe,
make sure you will have a pair of pointe shoes in
good condition! Musical Theater and jazz students
will need black jazz shoes.
We will need people to help with preparing the new
space as well as donations of furnishings for our
new waiting areas and offices. More info to come.
Don Quixote - Ballet Northwest will present this
classic ballet at Washington Center for the
Performing Arts, Friday, May 8-10. CBA students
Elina Brein, Jacob Brein, Erin Brown and Stephanie
San Souci will all be performing. Tickets available
through www.olytix.org or at the door.
Recital Information
Recital information packets will be sent home within
the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, please make
sure you have the following marked on our
calendar:
- Saturday afternoon, June 13th: photos at CBA
- early afternoon Sunday, June 14th for dress
rehearsal (required!) at Corbet Theatre.
- Sunday, June 14th, 7:00pm: Performance time!
Call time will vary depending on age (5:30-6:30).
Please watch for the recital packet and make sure
you receive and review it. It contains information
critical to making the recital run smoothly.
Also, please watch for information on signing up for
volunteering to help with recital. We depend on
volunteers to keep costs down while keeping
everything running smoothly.
Attendance
Just a friendly reminder to try to get yourself and/or
your child to class regularly. Absences this time of
year not only affect your own training - they affect
the entire class's ability to learn their recital dances.
We understand that sickness and school events will
keep you away on occasion, but please make an
effort to be there if at all possible.
