Hello HAD families! It’s that time of year again and we need your help! As you know, we can’t put these shows on without the help of our fabulous volunteer community!! Please choose from our many rewarding volunteer opportunities to see what best fits your schedule. Only one usher shift per family please. This SignUp is NOT for class chaperones. Please see “2022 HAD June Recital -Class Chaperones” Sign Up to be a class chaperone for your dancers or let your instructors know as well! Remember to SignUp for shows you are not buying tickets for (unless otherwise noted on the job description). We would love for each family to SignUp for at least 2 shifts per dancer. Thank you, all, in advance, for volunteering your time! We know these shows would not be possible without you! If you have questions regarding SignUp, please email info@had4dance.com.

Information and Policies
As the season progresses, updates will be emailed in our weekly e-newsletters sent every Monday and posted on our website, www.had4dance.com. Our goal is to make the recital experience organized and pleasant for all involved – dancers, teachers, staff, volunteers, and HAD parents and patrons.
COVID-19: Due to the ever-changing conditions in our county and state, we must ask for your flexibility and support throughout this 2022 recital season regarding covid policies. As of January 1, 2022, there is a state mandate in place that requires masks to be worn indoors at all times by all people regardless of vaccination status. Cal State Long Beach will have their own COVID protocols and policies that we will need to follow. As of January 1, 2022, Cal State Long Beach requires masks to be worn indoors but does not require patrons or performers to be vaccinated or show a negative covid test. We have no way to predict what the policy will be in June 2022. Whatever CSULB theater policy is in effect, we are required to comply. Preparing for and participating in a performance is a major part of dance training. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate the pandemic landscape and deal with factors well beyond our control. We do this all for the dancers!
COSTUMES: Teachers have selected a costume for each class or routine. This information can be found by logging into your HAD parent portal. Select the class and then view the Resources tab. Here you will find a PDF with the costume details and price. Each costume company has its own size chart. View the size chart in the Resources tab for each class.
Costumes are non-refundable. Once you place your order, your costume cannot be refunded or exchanged for any reason.
To order costumes, complete the HAD Costume Order Form. Use the size chart that corresponds to that particular costume. Link to costume order form, costume information, and size chart can be found in your HAD parent portal by viewing the Resources tab. Complete one costume order form per class/routine by January 31. Starting February 1, a $20 late fee per costume will be assessed. NOTE: Due to production shortages across our country from the pandemic, late orders may not be filled due to out of stock issues so please do order early!
SHOWCASE 2022: Monday, June 27th at 7:00 pm. This special Monday show is designated for most private lesson solos, duos and trios. Bring your younger dancer to see this show! This is a great way to see the opportunities that lie ahead, as well as be entertained by some of HAD’s exceptional talent!
