march 2022 newsletter

GREAT NEWS! The journey through COVID-19 has been long and trying and we are so thrilled to continue moving forward without restrictions. Thank you to all of our families for your patience and cooperation! Parents are once again welcome in the lobby if they need to connect with the front desk or help their dancer. The couches and lobby areas will continue to be for our dancers and parents are asked to drop off and pick up their dancer at the scheduled time. Group Stage Rehearsals - March 7, 8, 9,10 and Saturday 12th - at the Dow Centre, Fort Saskatchewan. Click here for Stage Rehearsals schedule.
*NEW* This is now an open rehearsal to parents!

• Each dancer can have a maximum of 2 parents join them during their stage rehearsal times. We ask that if possible, siblings do not attend as we need the entire foyer and theatre for rehearsal space.
• Please enter and exit through the main theatre lobby doors. 
• Dancers should arrive at least 30 minutes early. Parents can assist the dancers to leave their items in the change room if necessary and then deliver the dancers to sit with their group in the theatre.
• Please remain quiet and seated in the theatre.  The theatre has just been renovated so please be respectful of the space.  No food or drinks.  Only sealed water containers are allowed. (No coffee cups with lids.)

Thank you to the SBS Dance Parents Association and everyone’s fundraising efforts for helping to make this possible.
