Greetings,
I hope everyone is doing well and your dancers are enjoying their classes as we prepare for our recital titled Happiness is…A Chance to Dance. The venue for the rehearsal and shows will be at the City of Mount Dora Community Building located at 520 N. Baker St, Mount Dora, 32757. The rehearsal and recital dates are Thursday, June 9, 2022 at 5:00pm for tech/dress rehearsal; Friday, June 10, 2022 at 7:00pm and Saturday, June 11, 2022 at 2:00pm for the performances. Everyone is expected to be there all three days as each student will dance in both performances.
Because our recital is the 2nd weekend in June, we will hold classes on Wednesday, June 1st, Thursday, June 2nd, Monday, June 6th, and Tuesday, June 7th. No class on Wednesday, June 8th, that is your preparation day for rehearsal and recital. Your June tuition will be adjusted and account will be charged for 1 week of dance classes before our show.
Recital packets will be handed out beginning Monday, March 7th during your students’ first classes of the week. If you do not receive a white envelope containing recital information by March 10th, please notify the office as soon as possible. Please note the spelling of your dancer’s name on the front of the packet, this will be how it appears in the program and on the t-shirts. Let the office know as soon as possible if it is incorrect. These packets contain all the information pertaining to the recital. Please read through the entire packet and return the forms by the deadlines specified on each form.
We at Leesburg Dance Centre love recital time and we hope dancers and their families will have a positive and enjoyable experience. We will kick-off our sale of recital tickets on Saturday, May 7, 2022 from 10am-12pm. All seating is reserved. Tickets are $20 each. Tickets will also be available after the kick-off during normal office hours.
Please mark your calendars for costume week. Costume week will be held during classes April 25 thru 28, 2022. We ask that a parent or guardian please be present at these classes for instruction on dressing rooms, costumes, hair, and makeup. It is important that you or someone you trust with information be present during costume week. Costumes will go home with your dancer provided all costumes and tuition are paid in full. The costume book is now available in the office for viewing.

February 19 and 20, 2022…What a weekend!

Kaylin Atkinson and Caitlyn Gee received a Diamond award for their Duet choreographed by Miss Caitlyn. These dancers left it on the dance floor, they were amazing!!!

Thank you, Miss Brooke and Miss Caitlyn for your time and energy with the team! They truly are dedicated to their art!!!
