June Concert Program - Is your dancer’s name spelled correctly?

See the bulletin board in order to proof read the spelling of your child’s name for the Concert Program. Initial next to your child’s name to indicate that we have it spelled correctly. If we need to make a correction, please write in any changes. The cast lists for you to proof will be posted by May 11^th in both the Livermore and Pleasanton locations.
