From the Director

Hi FFAM families. I wanted to remind you this is our LAST WEEK of
regularly scheduled dance classes. We will NOT have dance classes next
week (April 30-May4), the week of the recital. We will ONLY have the
rehearsal (May 3) and recital (May 4) next week. We will start the
rehearsal at 4:30pm. I will open the sanctuary area for questions
beginning at 4:00 pm. I will attempt to answer as many questions as
possible prior to 4:30pm so that we can start right on time. In
regards to the recital...it will begin promptly at 6:30pm. Your child
needs to be at the church and in their dressing room by 5:45pm. ALL
parents, siblings and guests will be asked to leave the dressing rooms
by 6:20pm. NO ONE will be allowed back into the dressing rooms past
this point. This is for the protection of the children and the ability
to control the crowds in the hallway during performance time. We will
have assigned adults and youth in the rooms w/ your children who will
help them get dressed and provide supervision to them while you sit w/
your family and enjoy the ENTIRE show. We ask that NO CHILD be picked
up from their dressing room prior to the end of the show because there
is a brief award presentation at the end of the recital.

I will need anyone who did not have their picture taken by Justin
Stricklin to send me a picture of their child that they would like
used in the slide show at the recital. It needs to be a picture of
your child in one of their costumes. Please email it directly to me at
rhondasurber@gmail.com.

For Tumbling Tots, Beg A and Int/Adv students that will be
participating in Tumble at the beginning of the program, you will need
to wear black shorts (w/ elastic or bike shorts) w/ your purple
recital t-shirt. For all other students, they will need to bring their
purple recital t-shirt and they will wear it at the end of the show
during the award presentation. They will also need to wear black
shorts, but they WILL NOT be performing Tumble during the show.

Lastly, ALL RECITAL FEES and APRIL TUITION is PAST DUE. You will need
to provide ALL OF YOUR FINAL PYMTS by Thursday. There are NO
EXCEPTIONS to this.

Please refer to our blog spot at www.weareffam.blogspot.com re:
questions concerning the tights color your child should wear w/ their
costume, shoe color or how their hair should be worn for the recital.

I am SO EXCITED to be at this point in the dance year and I am looking
forward to our recital night. It is going to be a blessing to all as
we share God's message "Until the Whole World Hears".

Blessings,
Rhonda Surber, FFAM Dance Director
