IT'S SHOWCASE WEEK!

This is the biggest week of the year for many of our seniors as they will be auditioning and interviewing with over 50 college representatives who are traveling from universities across the country.  

Our Showcase Committee has been hard at work to make this week a success for our dancers by providing a quiet and relaxing place for our seniors to recharge in between classes and by providing hospitality to college representatives.  

This is a true group effort, and we encourage all of our Dance Guild Members to participate to support the Dance Conservatory in whatever way they can.  Opportunties to donate your time and funds to make Showcase Week a success are provided below.


Please see the schedule of events below for Showcase Week.

SENIOR PARENT BREAKFAST
We're Starting a New Tradition!

Senior Parents:

It’s hard to believe that the time has already arrived for Booker T’s College Week auditions. As you know, after drop-off, parents must immediately leave the premises. (Our kids have received extraordinary training at Booker T and they have this!)

We would like to start our own senior dance parent tradition! After drop off on Friday, November 22nd, please park near - and meet us at - Yolk for coffee and/or breakfast (Dutch Treat). We can’t wait to catch up on how the college applications are going, discuss what’s next for our seniors, and answer any questions you may have. Please RSVP at treasurerdanceguild@gmail.com to confirm you will join us on Friday, Nov 22nd, so that we can reserve you a seat. (Reminder to request free parking validation code before you leave Yolk).
