Dance Concert Information
Dress rehearsal on Saturday, June 11, 2011 has been replaced with a staging rehearsal on Saturday, June 18, 2011 from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Please be on time or early! The stage is a lot larger than the studio spaces, so this rehearsal is very important. Once your child is finished rehearsing his/her class(es), they are excused until “call time”.
Your child will be required to sign in at the concert. It is extremely important that each student arrives at his/her call time for the performance on Saturday, June 18. Check your concert packet for more details on hair, make-up, and other important concert information.
Parent volunteers are needed for the day of the concert. We need help collecting tickets, handing out programs, selling TLC dancewear/active wear, and at the registration table. If you are interested in being a volunteer, contact Stephanie via email:
tlcreceptionist@gmail.com or by phone: 801-943-1757.

Summer Concert Information
Thank you for being a part of our first ever The Learning Circle Performing Arts summer concert: “A Goose Tale”. The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at Union Middle School (615 East 8000 South, Sandy, UT). We are excited to have this opportunity to showcase the talents and skills our awesome students have. Please note a few things in order to get the most out of your experience.
1. Please remember the concert is a chance for your student to showcase what they have learned. Make
it a good experience for them by encouraging, staying positive, and pointing out the things they did
well. It is appropriate to show your enthusiasm by clapping and bringing flowers or gifts to your student. Cat calling, name shouting, and yelling during the performance is not appropriate.
2. Dress rehearsal previously scheduled Saturday, June 11, 2011 has been replaced with a staging
rehearsal on Saturday, June 18, 2011 from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Please be on time or early! The
stage is a lot larger than the studio spaces, so this rehearsal is very important. Once your child is
finished rehearsing his/her class(es), they are excused until “call time”.
3. You are welcomed to take pictures during the actual performance on June 18, 2011 as long as no flash photography is used. The flash is distracting to the students and makes performing difficult. A
videographer will be recording the concert: DVDs will be available for purchase.
4. Please remember to label all costume pieces with your child’s name. Nearly every student in the
concert has the same color of leotard, tights, and dance shoes as your student.
5. Eating and drinking anything other than water is not permitted in costume. If your student would like to snack while in costume, please provide a covering of sorts to protect the costume from food damage.
6. Once costumes are sent home with you, they are your responsibility. Please take good care of them!
7. Spots in the concert programs are available for sale. This is a fun opportunity to do a “shout out” for
your student, to advertise your business, or promote a fun event. Full page ads are 4” by 5”, half page
ads are 4” by 2 ½ “, and quarter page ads are 2” by 2 ½ “. Please submit the print-ready ads to
thelearningcirclellc@gmail.com by June 4, 2011. Prices are $100 for a full page ad, $50 for half page
ads, and $25 for quarter page ads. Email for more information.
8. Tickets are available to pick up beginning Saturday, May 14 at noon. Please only take the number of
tickets you will need. Your concert fee allows you 10 tickets per student. Additional tickets will be
available for sale beginning Saturday, June 4 if any seats are still left.
9. Be sure to take advantage of early registration for the 2011-2012 season. Early registration saves
money and assures your place for next year’s classes! Schedules for the 2011-2012 season are
available in May.
10. TLC active wear is available for sale now. TLC stickers and jewelry will be available for sale soon.
Wearing TLC active wear is a great way to show your support of your performing arts studio and
student. Get yours today!
We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding the concert. Thank you for
your support!
