Souvenir program ads are a great way to show support for

your dancer.

Is this your first year and you aren’t quite sure how ‘program ads’ work. Ask

the girls at the desk to show you last year’s ads and get some great ideas for

how you can memorialize your dancer’s 2012-13 performance!

**Program Ad sales will continue through May 4, 2013.

Congratulations... to the 1st Annual Ticket Raffle winners, Kay Sindt and Morgan White.

They each won 10 premium tickets to their choice of “The Arabian Nights”

performance. We would also like to extend a congratulations to Niki

Martin for selling the most raffle tickets and winning $150 gift

certificate to The Dance Shoppe. And to everyone who purchased or sold

tickets… thank you for making the ticket raffle a success!

Pick-up trucks, Parking Lots and Ballerinas...

Thank you to everyone who helped with the Wise Performing

Arts Guild’s 1st Annual Tailgate Party. The weather could not

have been more perfect and the dancers enjoyed getting out in

the fresh air for some hot off the grill burgers and hot dogs.

Thank you also to the Bridgeport Index for covering the event

and supporting the performing arts in Wise County!

The Wise Performing Arts Guild is looking for a few good props! As with any performance

there are props that need to be borrowed, bought or built. The following is a list of items

still needed for the production of “The Arabian Nights”: 8 hula hoops; dragon cookies

(something that can be used as food for the dragons and hidden in their leotards); a leath-

er looking pouch for Ali Baba's lunch, with fake food in it; a tray of food to present to the

sultan; a pitcher of wine to present to the sultan; and rich looking fabric or clothing to

present to the sultan. If you have any of these items, know someone who does or have a

brilliant idea about how to make any of these props please contact one of the Wise Per-

forming Arts Guild members or speak to Karen.

Looking for a few good props...

Advanced Ticket orders will be accepted April 15 - May 11, 2013

This is a great opportunity to purchase tickets for the section you want prior to public

ticket sales. Tickets are required for all patrons, even infants. We ask all patrons to

carefully consider before bringing any child under the age of three to the performance.

Please Note: This program is just over two hours long with only one 20-minute intermis-

sion. The performance will be professionally filmed and distressed children greatly affect

the quality of the recording. Strollers and infant carriers will not be permitted in the

theatre. Thank you for your consideration. ** There is wheelchair accessible seating.

Karen’s Korner *No Jewelry *Go to the bathroom before or after class. *Dance shoes are to be worn only in the studio.

*Students are not allowed (at any age) to enter or leave the premises dressed only in a leotard, tights and dance shoes. Wear

a cover-up to and from the studio!

*Students should arrive and be ready to dance at least 5 minutes prior to their scheduled class time. It is very important not

to be late for class.

*Students should not be dropped off and left unattended more than 10 minutes before class.

*Parents must come into the building to pick up their children. NO EXCEPTIONS!

*All female students, (ages 5 & up) must have their hair neatly pinned and secured up off their necks in an acceptable ballet

bun, braid or twist. For ages 3 & 4 pony tails are acceptable. If the student’s hair is too short to wear in a bun, please wear an

elastic cloth headband with hair clips. There are practical reasons for this, as well as aesthetic ones. Body alignment is criti-

cal in ballet and the instructor must be able to see the line of a student’s body from the ears, the back of the neck and down

the spine.

Please keep and extra set of hair supplies (hair pins, bobby pins, hair nets, ponytail holders, hairspray) in the student’s dance

bag at all times.

*Children will not be allowed in the classroom until it is time for their scheduled class to begin.

*Laces & strings must be tucked into ballet slippers. If the strings are too long, please trim them—do not pull the string out

of the shoe.
