Keep moving this summer with a dance class at the Plainfield Park District.
Dear Dance Parents,
Here is the day you have all been patiently waiting for:
Costume Pick-up Day
Date: Saturday, May 30th, 2020
Place: Prairie Activity & Recreation Center (PARC), 24550 W. Renwick Rd.
Time: 10a-12p
Last Name A-F 10-10:30a
Lase Name G-L 10:30-11a
Last Name M-R 11-11:30a
Last Name S-Z 11:30-12:00p
Costume pick-up instructions:
- Upon entering the parking lot at your allowed time, you will be instructed to pull into the parking lot North of the facility, drive past the front of facility, turning right at the stop sign in front of the building. You will follow the road along the South side of facility and stop by the preschool entrance doors. Signs will be posted and staff will help direct you to the proper location.
- Everyone MUST drive through the pick-up line to get their costumes and wave goodbye to their instructor, no walk-ups (even if wearing a mask).
- Do not exit your car.
- Once you have arrived at the pick-up location, one of the dance instructors will ask for your name, class day and time to ensure you receive correct costume(s).
- Once your costume(s) have been received, you will then exit out the South West entrance.
- Make sure you wave to all your dance instructors as you go through the line.
- If you cannot pick up your costume(s) during your allowed time, please contact Miss Cindy at dance@plfdparks.org to make other pick-up arrangements.
- As we are all sadden that we were unable to host our dance recital this year, we would love for you to send us a short video (30 seconds or less) of your child dancing in their costume. While wearing their costumes, they can show off their favorite dance moves or poses. These videos will then be posted to the Park District Facebook page and other social media outlets. Please submit your short video to dance@plfdparks.org by Friday, June 5th.
Thank you for a great season and we hope to see you again soon!
