May Monthly Memo
Staying Informed
Can you believe we’re just 7 weeks away from Recital Day?! That means there is a lot going on this month, so please read carefully through all the information and make sure you’re up to date with recital information. If you have any questions about recital, first check out our Recital 2023 page. The password is in the email linking to this blog post. If you don’t see your question answered there, don’t hesitate to ask by emailing hello@sherwooddance.com or drop by the office. We want you to be informed and feel confident about what will happen at dress rehearsals and recital.
Connecting
Our mission at SDA is Empowering Students and Community Through Dance and this month our focus is on Connecting with Others! Connecting with others is an essential part of human existence, and it is one of the most important skills we can develop. It is the basis for building meaningful relationships, creating a sense of community, and finding support and inspiration. Connecting with others requires us to be open, empathetic, and willing to engage with those around us.
Recital Preparation
Dress Rehearsals
Dress rehearsal schedule will be released during the first week of May. Dress rehearsals are at Newberg High School between 4-9pm Monday through Thursday, June 12th-15th. Rehearsals are done in costume. Please account for rush hour traffic traveling to/through Newberg. The studio is closed for classes the entire week of June 12th.
Recital Tickets
Tickets will go on sale on May 15th. Check the Recital Page for details!
Photos
We have most of our classes at least scheduled for photos by now! It has been such a treat to see all our dancers in their costumes, looking fantastic and excited. I know everyone looks forward to seeing their pictures and with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, like to use them as gifts. Keep in mind that turn around time is about 4-5 weeks right now and editing happens in order of the photo sessions.
