Dear Dance Express Families :)
With the rise in covid cases in our area, we are modifying the Holiday Spectacular and adding extra safety measures. Please keep in mind that attending the event is 100% optional! We do ask that people mask up with the exception of the performance. Note: Our NHSDA volunteers and staff will be fully masked.
Please note the following schedule changes!
Your child’s class will be performing at the Dance Express Holiday Spectacular on Sunday Dec 12 at the Kato Ballroom (200 Chestnut Ave-Mankato) from 1:00-2:00 the doors will be open for all dancers/parents ages 2nd grade and younger. This age group will perform at 1:45pm. We ask that you exit the Kato ballroom at this time to allow for all dancers/parents ages 3rd and older to enter and enjoy the festivities. This age group will perform at the beginning (2:00) and be allowed to stay after to enjoy the various stations. All stations will have volunteers that will be masked and gloved (if handling crafts or food). We put the performances at the end of one session and the beginning of the other in case your class or age group falls into both categories.
During this FUN FILLED FAMILY FRIENDLY event, We will have photos with SANTA (Free to all DXP families-limit 1 sitting per family). This is a FREE event to all. We ask that each family bring a donation for the annual TOYS FOR TOTS drive.
Here is a link to all MUSIC & PRACTICE VIDEOS for home practice. The performance order is listed here as well.
What to wear? All dancers are asked to wear their favorite HOLIDAY outfit or anything red, white or green.
