Erin Nelson, Recital Producer
Erin Nelson, our Monday and Wednesday teacher, will be creative directing and producing this year’s recital and will send out class by class emails with detailed information.  Please be on the lookout for Ms. Erin’s emails from [email protected].

Student Attendance
Attendance during the home stretch of the semester is vitally important in order for your swan to feel prepared for her/his performance.  Feeling unprepared can be stressful for young dancers and we want to ensure this is a positive, confidence-building experience for all.  In addition to wanting your swan to feel ready for the big day, choreography and other students depend on all dancers being present. If your swan must be absent for even one of the remaining classes, please notify your teacher well in advance.

Schedules

All classes have received their schedules for 1) Dress Rehearsal (MONDAY MAY 18) and 2) Recital Day (WEDNESDAY MAY 20) from Recital Producer Erin Nelson by now.

Questions Welcome
If you can’t find answers to your questions in Erin Nelson’s emails or School for Swans’s emails ([email protected]), please inquire.

The recital is an exciting and memorable experience for all!
