Ticket Sales for the Spring Performance - Saturday, May 5th - 12:30pm at AEDC

/

Tickets go on sale for the Artistic Edge Dance Center spring performance "Baby I'm A Star" beginning Saturday, May 5th at 12:30pm.  Tickets will remain on sale during regular studio hours until Saturday, May 26th.  Tickets are available ONLY at ARTISTIC EDGE DANCE CENTER.

Every family will receive 4 tickets with their recital participation fee.  Additional tickets are $5.00 each.  Cash or check only please. 

November Tuition and Spring Performance Participation fee are due

/

Just a friendly reminder.  We will begin measuring the children for costumes this week.  Though participation in the Spring Performance is not required, dance is a performance art form, and the Spring Performance is a wonderful and exciting opportunity for your children to showcase all they have learned during the year. 

If you choose not to participate in the Spring Performance, please sign and return the paperwork, so we can notate your decision on your account.  Your child is still encouraged to come to class and learn the choreography, as that is also an important part of a dance education.
