New Location & Recital 101
Happy Friday TDD Dance Fam!
NEW LOCATION FOR CLASSES
We have new dance home at Anytime Fitness!

We appreciate everyones flexibility and commitment as we have navigated through a couple location changes this past month. Your dedication and faith in us, is truly appreciated and valued. Unfortunately, we will be unable to return to The Gym for Every Body as their refurbishment is taking longer than expected. Starting Monday 4/4 we will be holding class for the remainder of the season at Anytime Fitness in their Fitness studio. Their studio is beautiful and we are excited to have a larger space and mirrors again. This will be a much better fit for TDD : )! The address is 1159 Main St, Windsor, CO 80550. To enter, a key fob is necessary – dancers will need to arrive at the front door at class time and their teacher will meet them there and walk them back to the room. If you are running late please text us at the studio number – 970-230-3226. There is a small lounge area you are welcome to wait in during class time. If you have any questions please reach out we are always happy to help.

Recital Count Down – 8 Weeks and 58 Days until Show Day!
Recital 101
What is Recital? – Recital is our Grand Finale to our dance year. It is a time for all dancers to shine on stage and perform for their families and friends. Recital is our biggest production of the year, all of our classes have a choreographed dance they learn and perform.
Stage Fright – Stage Fright is a completely normal emotion and feeling that can even effected the most skilled and practiced performers. The best way to combat stage fright is positive reenforcement and encouragement, and for dancers to feel prepared. We address all of this in class but of course talking about it at home is a great choice too. We recommending encouraging your dancer to practice at home so they feel more confident : ). Within the next couple of weeks directors will be sharing links to practice videos and music so they can practice easily. The next best way is to be on stage and see the space. This will happen at dress rehearsal. Dancers will get to dance on the stage and see what it feels like. Finally just reassure your dancer that no matter their teacher and you are proud of them : ). We are so proud of every dancer and all their hard work!
Where are dancers during recital when they aren’t performing? Dancers will be held backstage and supervised by backgrounded checked and CPR certified staff. Dancers can not come out and sit with their parents during the show. Dancers will be required to arrive at 12:30pm on Recital day and stay throughout the entire performance.
What should my dancer bring? Your dancer should arrive ready to go – in their costume, with their shoes, hair and make-up done, and they can bring a small snack that is easy to eat and will not make a mess. Dancers can bring water but please no pop, juice, or drinks that can easily spill or stain. If your dancer is in multiple dances they can use a laundry basket, a storage tote, or a suit case to help organize their costumes and belongings. Every item your dancer brings should be labeled with their name or initials.
Tickets – Each Recital Package included a certain number of tickets. We will be sending you your included tickets as we get closer to our performance date. Additional tickets can be purchase via this link. Additional tickets are $10.00 pre-sale and will be $15.00 at the door. Seating is general admission.
Costumes will be handed out as they come in, we ask that you try on your costume once you get it alert us ASAP if the sizing is wrong beyond simple adjustments. Store your costume in a safe place where littles hands and family pets can’t get to it ; ). We ask that dancers only wear their costume to dress rehearsal and to recital after trying it on and then once recital it is over it is theirs to wear, treasure, and use as you see fit : ).
We are looking for Recital Sponsors – Please reach out if you or if you know someone or business that might be interested!
