AIM News 1/20/2013 - Costumes, Recital Info, Picture Day

COSTUMES
Costume order deadline is January 21st.  IF YOU HAVE NOT YET ORDERED YOUR DANCER’S COSTUMES ON COSTUMEMANAGER.COM, PLEASE DO SO IMMEDIATELY!  It can take up to 16 weeks for costumes to be manufactured and shipped, so it is EXTREMELY important that costumes be ordered ASAP in order for them to arrive in time for picture day.

RECITAL 2013 SHOWS
Our first annual Spring Recital will be held on Sunday, June 16th at the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen.  Classes will be split into two separate shows: 1:00pm and 4:30pm.  Dancers will be required to be at the theater 1 hour before their show time.  Each performance will be last between 60 and 90 minutes long.  We have done our best to schedule siblings and dancers in multiple classes in the same shows, however, some families will be attending both performances.  Advanced dancers will also perform in both shows.  The following charts are lists of which classes perform in which shows, but do NOT indicate the show order.  More details, including rehearsal schedules and ticket info, will be released by March 1st.

FINALE
All dancers will perform in the Finale of their show.  During the Finale, dancers come back on stage to do some more short choreography and take a final bow all together.
Finale Costume: Black pants (any style), solid green or blue top (any style), bare feet.  Finale costumes are provided by parents and may be items already owned or can be purchased anywhere.

PICTURE DAY
Mark your calendars!  Picture Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 18th at the studio.  Splendid Portraits, an experienced and reputable professional photography company, will be taking our pictures.  You can order group shots and individual portraits of your child in his/her costume.  Picture Day is a fundraiser for AIM, so I hope you will consider ordering photos!  A specific schedule and ordering info will be released by March 1st.
