June 9,
2012 - Dress Rehearsal, 12:00 - 3:15pm
June 10, 2012 - Performance at 3:00pm
Located @ Richfield Senior High School – 7001 Harriet Avenue
South
All-school (Jr and Sr Divisions) and
both companies
Each year, there is a performance involving the entire school.
Since dance is a performing art we strongly encourage, yet do
not require, our students to participate in this special show.
All dancers performing must be registered students of DDTS.
In keeping with our dedication to dance as an art
form, our yearly performances include the staging of two ballets.
Our repertoire includes story ballets such as “Cinderella,” “The Seal Maiden,” “Carnival of the Animals,” and “Snow White,” as well as the abstract ballets of “Les Sylphides,” “Nocturne,” “The Seasons,” “Reflections,” and “Brahms Dances.” Students
in both divisions have audition opportunities for title roles,
and each ballet class plays a supporting role in the ballet.
This gives the students the chance to be a part of something larger,
it adds continuity to the performance, and allows parents and
students to see the progression of our program.
Ticket
Prices
The tuition prices you pay during the dance year
go towards paying rent on our building, paying faculty, and other
general overhead expenses like utilities and maintenance. We have
to charge admission to performances as the cost of producing a
show runs upwards of $12,000 for just one weekend.
Expenses to the school include theater rental, equipment rental,
program printing costs, contract laborers such as sound and light
operators and custodians, staff wages, advertising, and music
licensing fees all play a role in determining admission prices.
Tickets are general admission. They will be sold at the door only and usually run $15.00 per ticket for adults and $10 per ticket for students, which is pretty standard for most dance schools in the Twin Cities.
Costumes
The June performances are costumed. The costumes
we choose are tasteful, relevant to the performance, age appropriate
and affordable. It takes several months for costume companies
to fulfill our orders, therefore, we must order early (usually
over winter break). If you are performing, a $65 NON-REFUNDABLE
costume payment is due per child, for every class they are in,
by November 15, 2011. It is also recommended that if you
must move to a different class day and time, you do so prior to
this time to ensure that your dancer receives the appropriate
costume.
Practice CDs
Practice CDs are available upon request.
All students are strongly encouraged to place their orders early.
Good times to purchase practice CDs are in early November
for the Junior Division's December performance, and in the early
spring for the June performances.
CDs - $5.00 for the first student and $2.00 for each additional student on the same CD. Please allow at least
2 weeks to fill order
