Our Christmas Production is right around the corner! There are a few things we need to do in preparation for this show.

We are excited to announce that this years Chistmas Show is a “production” not a “recital”. This means that our dancers are telling a story and are specific characters throughout the show. That being said, we need every dancer to come up with a “whoville” costume of their own. Please refer to the movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with Jim Carey for costume ideas. Also you can google Whoville or Grinch Stole Chistmas or get on Lynn’s School of Dance Facebook group page for ideas. Keep in mind that your child is dancing and the costume needs to be appropriate for movement. Also as part of this production they need to have “who hair”. You will need to purchase a wig and style it “who hair”. They will be wearing this costume and wig during the whole recital except for their ballet and extra classes such as hip hop or pom. We have casted a Grinch, Cindy Lou and Max (the dog) so look to whoville towns people as your inspiration. Be creative with your costume, over the top Christmas whoville style.

Jewelry and Tights:
Please make sure your dancer has all jewelry and tights needed for recital. Last chance to order before the recital.

Company Xmas Party:
We will have our annual party after the light parade. Please keep gifts around $10. Bring a snack to share.

Tickets:
Tickets will be sold at the studio on Wednesday, December 7th from 4 to 7. Seats will be limited due to 1 show.
