Hello Level VIII Students and Families,
We will be having a costume fitting with PNB Costume Shop for Swan Lake Excerpts this Friday, April 24th from 4:15pm-5:00pm!
We will be turning your Technique class into an abbreviated warm-up class from 5:00-6:00pm to adjust for the costume fitting.
It would be great if the dancers could arrive early at 4:15 to help the fitting go quickly, but we understand that many are coming straight from school. Dancers should be ready to be fitted and then go straight into class when they arrive on Friday.
Please let us know if your dancer will not be able to make it!
