Parent Observation WeekNovember 17th - November 23rd for pre-ballet and level 1 classes only, new parents only. We are still actively trying to keep the number of people inside the studio low. We still recommend family observation of class via our Zoom classroom or class recordings.
If you are a new studio parent and you'd like to observe your child's class in person during observation week be sure to sign up ahead of time at this link. Only two guests per child. Siblings in attendance should be prepared to sit quietly for the duration of class time. This is not a demo or performance but rather an observed class. We are not preparing the children to expect a parent audience so they will not miss you if you can't make it :)
Nutcracker: Adelphi University Performing Arts Center
1 South Ave, Garden City, NY 11530
Nutcracker Box Office
Nutcracker tickets for all four performances are now available for purchase online for next-best available seating. Box office orders will be processed on a weekly basis. We encourage folks to order tickets online but we will also hold an in-person box office at the studio on Sunday, December 5th from 4-6pm with Mr. Corey if you’d like to pick your seats from the seating chart.
If you are ordering online, specific seating requests may be sent to boxoffice@integralballet.com and we will do our best to accommodate.
Boosters, DVDs and Photos
Boosters for A Merry Mini Nutcracker may now be purchased here. We will display the mock-up of the program in late November on the front window so parents can check the spelling of their child’s name before we print.
DVDs for A Merry Mini Nutcracker can be pre-purchased online here.
Volunteering
Parent volunteers are needed for the 2021-2022 school year in the following areas:
Nutcracker: We are still organizing our backstage volunteer sheet for the four Nutcracker performances. Please email misserin@integralballet.com when you know for which shows you'd like to help out backstage (females only). Dads, we can still use your help ON stage as party scene parents :) Note- there will be no boutique or bake sale due to Covid restrictions so no help needed there.
Daddy-Daughter Dance Committee: We have a tentative date of Tuesday, February 8th with a first committee meeting of November 11th. However, we only have one volunteer (thanks Jen C!) and so it is likely that this event will be tabled for this year. We will finalize that decision next week. This event typically needs 8-10 volunteers :O
Spring Concert and Recital: will call table and box office assistance, participant check-in and dismissal. We'll open volunteer sign up in February for the spring concert and spring recital.
Belt Assessments
Students who have been advised by their teacher that they are ready to take their belt assessment may now register for December 2021 exam times here. Belt assessments will take place on Thursday, Dec 16th and Saturday Dec 18th. Once registered, you will receive an email with your assigned assessment time.
Please email frontdesk@integralballet.com if you have a time conflict with your assigned time.
Spring Concert & Spring Recital Preliminary Info
SPRING CONCERT
Audition dates and rehearsal schedules for the spring concert have been posted here but are currently subject to change. (The spring concert is a by-audition performance for pre, junior and senior company and we rehearse separately from class time.)
