April Newsletter
Lots of news for April! Please read through to the end. As always, thank you for your continued support of CDA. Please feel free to email info@
1) TUITION: April tuition was processed yesterday, Monday, April 1st. You don’t need to do anything for this unless you received an email stating that your tuition could not be processed.
2) SUMMER ENROLLMENT OPEN NEXT WEEK: Summer intensive and class registration will open next MONDAY, APRIL 8TH at noon! We will be emailing out all of the information on dates of classes and camps by the end of this week, so be sure to check your schedules and register quick because they do fill up fast! We will have summer camps and weekly classes for all ages and levels and are a great way to keep your dancer active this summer, allow them to try new styles, and get a jump-start on the next season!
3) RECITAL COSTUMES AND TIGHTS: We have been trying on and handing out recital costumes as they have been coming in but some will not be here until right before dress rehearsal. This is a friendly reminder to please keep the costumes stored away safely until the show so they do not get damaged. We will be emailing out class specific shoes and tights needed for each class this month, but please be sure to have tights and correct shoes ordered and ready to go by dress rehearsal (Friday May 17th for Tiny Tots and Saturday, May 18th for Wizard of Oz). All of this is sold in our dance store!
4) RECITAL DRESS REHEARSALS AND PHOTOS: Specific times will be sent out shortly but please reserve the entire time block for your dancers dress rehearsal and photo day:
Friday, May 17th- Tiny Tot/Performance Team Dress Rehearsal and Photo Day (4:00pm-7:00pm)

7) PARENT OBSERVATION WEEKS: This year, we will be holding Parent Observations for Ballet and Hip Hop the week of April 29th-May 4th and observations for Jazz, Lyrical, and Tiny Tots May 6th – May 11th. For Ballet, Hip Hop, and Jazz/Lyrical, parents will be able to observe the full class and get a sneak peak of your dancers recital dances and Tiny Tot observations will be held the last 15 minutes of their regular scheduled class time. At this observation, we will be handing out class placements for next year, specific recital info (dress rehearsal times, call times, hair and make-up info), etc., so it is important to have at least one parent or guardian present.
