Picture Week is March 21st -24th, 2011

Each year, we create a recital program book with pictures of all of our classes.  In years to come, it serves as a yearbook of this dance year.

In order to get pictures for the student’s recital book, we photograph each class.  (With combination classes, we typically only photograph ballet costumes.) During Picture Week, class time will be replaced with a photo shoot.  A schedule will be posted about a week before picture week, showing when classes are to be photographed.  Classes will not necessarily meet at their regular time. Instead, we try to minimize the number of times students have to come to the studio for picture week.  It is very important that all students are on time.  If a student misses a group picture, it will not be possible to make it up.  Students should have their hair, makeup and costumes done for pictures exactly as they will for the recital.  Teachers send home a flier with student’s costumes explaining exactly how everything should be worn.

If you would like to have your student’s individual photograph taken, you may purchase them from the photographer/photographer’s assistant. (You will also need to have a picture taken if you are purchasing an ad that includes a photo. Money for photos does not go thru the office so you will need to pay the photographer directly on the day the picture is taken.

Win One Year Scholarship! We have a contest each year to see who sells the most ads.  Each student is encouraged to participate to win a chance at a full year scholarship. At least 10 Full Page ads or more must be sold. Whoever sells the most ads is the winner. Any size ads may be sold as long as they are 10 or more full pages worth.

Two types of ads are sold:
1) Personal Ads are typically purchased by friends and family to celebrate a specific dancer(s) with a message of congratulations, best wishes, etc., requiring a personal ad form.
2) Business Ads are purchased by businesses, requiring a business ad form.  These ads serve to either send a message of congratulations to a dancer or focus on advertising a business, or both.
