June

Dress Rehearsal, Friday - June 8, 2007
Performance, Saturday - June 9, 2007 3pm & 7pm
Performance, Sunday - June 10, 2007 3pm

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 story ballets.   Past performances have included "Cinderella", "The Seal Maiden", "Les Sylphides", "The Seasons" and "Carnival of the Animals."  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.

This year, ticket prices will run about $12 per person, 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 $55 NON-REFUNDABLE costume payment is due per child, for every class they are in, by November 18, 2006.  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.
