  Dear Home   School  Educator
The Iowa Dance  Theatre is excited to once again present a special performance  of The Nutcracker Ballet to school  children.  The performance will take  place on Friday, December 11, 2009 at  10:00 am and 12:30 pm at the Des Moines Civic Center.  The cast will present a shortened  version of this holiday ballet, which will include narration of the story, and  should last just under one hour.  Please plan to arrive 30 minutes before  the scheduled performance time.  You  will need to find your own parking.   Upon your arrival at the  Civic  Center , please check in with the   Iowa Dance Theatre volunteers right  inside the lobby doors.
Admission is $3.00 per person.  Advance payment is mandatory in order to  be admitted to the performance.  The  deadline for payment is November 30, 2009.   If you are able to assemble a larger group of homeschoolers, one adult  may be admitted free of charge for every ten students.  Please send the payment to:

We need advance notice of people with special needs  (wheelchairs, etc.) so that I may coordinate accessibility with the  Civic  Center personnel.  No photography is allowed in the  theater, and proper theater etiquette would be appreciated.
Please fill out the enclosed form and email to dandkpolson@msn.com or mail to the  above address.  If the number of  students and/or chaperones changes after you send the enclosed, please notify us  by November 30, 2009.  No 'paper'  tickets are issued, rather this is handled as a reservation system.  In our efforts to reach as many in the  home school community as possible, please feel free to pass along this  information to other home school families.
The Iowa Dance  Theatre is very excited about The  Nutcracker this season.  In  a unique alliance with area dance schools, we will have over 220 performers  representing 30 dance studios from central  Iowa and beyond!   Iowa Dance  Theatre is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated  to bringing educational, artistic, and performance opportunities to central   Iowa 's  talented dancers.
We look forward to your participation in this theatrical  event.  If you have any questions,  please contact Kathy Polson at (515) 963-8311 (home phone) or (515) 554-7104  (cell).
Sincerely
