FINALE.
All dancers are invited to be a part FINALE at the end of show!
BONUS – Miss Lacy will reveal next years Recital theme after Finale!
PAOLA 2023 – Ages 3-5 will return to the audience to sit with their family until it’s time for them to come back for Finale. We would love all students ages 3-5 to join us for the finale, but understand if it’s too long of a wait. There would be about an hour to watch before coming back to line up. And, we will also be taking a full studio picture directly after the Finale dance to commemorate the season!
So, here’s a popular question answered . . . “Do we have to stay for the whole show?” – My answer is “Yes, Please do!”
FLOWERS.
Roses ($5), small Bouquets ($15), and medium Bouquets ($25) will be available to purchase in the High School lobby from In Bloom Floral of Louisburg before the show. This is NOT A REQUIREMENT, but the kids love being showered at the end of a performance. If you would like to order something different (bigger or more specific flowers) you can call or email her. Payments go to In Bloom Floral. Jessica Finch – 913.461.5377 – inbloomfloradesign@hotmail.com.
TIGHTS.
Each student receives one pair of tights with costume if applicable to any of their costumes. Please try to save those tights for performance week. Example – If a student is in Jazz and Acro, they will receive one pair of dark tan convertible tights. If a student is in Ballet and Tap, they will receive one pair of dark tan convertible tights and one pair of classic pink convertible tights.
Various sizes are available in lobby as well. A tights order form will be located by payment box in lobby. Please place order form in payment box with cash, check, or mark “card on file”. Order forms are due by May 9th, 2022 to hopefully guarantee size/style needed. Tights are $10.93 with tax. No tights for Hip hop classes. NO PANTYHOSE. (Ballet color – “classic pink”. Tap, Jazz, Acro color – “dark tan”. Other – black or fishnet). Our Studio tights brand is “Revolution”.
