La Boutique Fantastique Recital Newsletter March 2021

 This has been a challenging year for us all.  We have had a difficult time trying to secure a performance venue.  We have decided to present the recital at the studio.

There will be challenges but we are excited to be able to present to you our very own version of the 

One Act Ballet La Boutique Fantastique! The Magical Toyshop set in France in 1860. 

Due to limited amount of seating (we can only allow a maximum 36 people per performance)

We  plan on doing six performances. Ticket sales start this Saturday (April 3^rd) 11am to 3pm at

the studio.  All tickets are $30. 

We ask that you purchase tickets as soon as possible so we can determine if more performances are necessary.

All dancers, except the Sat. Intro class and the Primary 1 and 2 classes will dance in all six performances.

Performances schedule:

Friday June 11, Matinee 2pm and Evening 6pm    (Primary 2 Ballet-Blue Team perform)

Saturday June 12, Matinee 2pm and Evening 6pm (Intro to Dance –Purple Team perform)

Sunday June 13, Matinee 2pm and Evening  6pm  (Primary 1 Ballet- Pink Team perform)

Dancers will need to be dropped off 1 hour prior to showtime and picked up at 3:30 for the matinee and 7:30 for the evening show please.

We understand this will be quite a commitment and will require some teamwork and coordination but we are excited to offer our students and their families a wonderful, theatrical experience.

We request that students arrive at the studio with

A. hair and makeup done

B. Wearing tights and nudie leotard (available at the studio)

C. Wearing a cover up

D. Costumes are to be pre-set at the studio (not to be worn outside of studio)

Each dancer will have a designated area, a chair with their name where they

will pre-set their costume.

Please supply a clear plastic bin with your child’s name on it to be placed at their chair.

1. Name

2. All dance shoes

3. Spare tights/black socks/ accessories

4. Hair brush, spray, pins
