Description

Celebrating their 10 year anniversary, TU Dance founders Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands aim to uncover the connective power of dance for audiences, students, artists, and the community. TU’s work, featuring a fusion of modern, ballet, West African, and street dance, is ultimately about the human experience; be it through the music you hear, the performance you see on stage or the person sitting next to you in the audience.

Performing Arts Classroom Series Pre-Sale

How can I possibly know if I'll be available so far in advance?

You can't know it. What you can know is whether or not you are willing to ...

  1. attend if you are able.
  2. take responsibility for finding a replacement for your family if you're not.

You'll receive an email reminder four weeks before the performance. If your circumstances have changed, those four weeks should give you plenty of time to transfer your tickets.

Because the organizer will have already paid The Ordway for your tickets, transfers after the cancellation deadline will be your responsibility. You can post to Homeschool Adventures Yahoo Group that the tickets are available and ask interested persons to contact you directly about the tickets. Reimbursements would be handled between you and your substitute. You are asked to inform the organizer of any transfers so that she can maintain an accurate registration database and so that she is not surprised or confused when your substitutes show up to claim your seats.

These performances are heavily subsidized and highly popular, so please don't claim seats unless you are truly willing to attend if you are able or take responsibility for finding a replacement for your family if you're not. Because someone else is bearing the bulk of the cost for your tickets, empty seats are not acceptable.

Why do I need to register so early?

The Ordway's highly affordable Performing Arts Classroom Series is extremely popular and many performances sell out the day they go on sale. Your volunteer organizer has reserved these seats for members of Homeschool Adventures, but she must pay for those seats by The Ordway's payment deadline or release them back to The Ordway for resale.

You can try waiting until later to purchase seats, but given the combination of popular and affordable, you face a high risk of missing out on the event altogether if you do.

Payment information

Payment must be received by: Sat, Aug 10, 2013 - 5:00pm

  1. Please plan to send your payment the same day that you register.

    The organizer will expect to receive your payment within 3 days of your date of registration — or by the payment deadline above, whichever comes first.

  2. Immediately after you register, you will be emailed payment instructions from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.

    Make sure your email filters recognize this address as a legitimate sender. If you don't receive this email, please check your spam, junk or bulk mail folder. Contact the organizer if you are unable to find it; if you receive no response to your email, please call the organizer.

    You are not officially registered until the organizer receives your payment.

  3. When the organizer records your payment, you will be emailed a payment receipt from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.

    The organizer updates payment records daily. If you've sent your payment and haven't received a payment confirmation, please contact the organizer by email or phone.

  4. If the organizer doesn't receive payment within 3 days of your date of registration or by the payment deadline, whichever comes first, your family may be removed from the registration list.

    You will be notified with an email from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com should this unfortunate event occur.

    If you are unable to send payment immediately, please contact the organizer to make other arrangements. To help the organizer identify you in the registration database, please forward your payment instructions to the organizer along with your request.

    This protects the organizer from non-payment due to payment instructions blocked by overly aggressive spam protection.

  5. If you need to cancel your registration, please do so via an email request to the organizer.

    Non-payment is not an acceptable way to cancel your registration. If you wish to cancel, please be respectful of the volunteer organizer's time and send an email request.

    If you fail to send a cancellation request by the cancellation deadline, you will remain responsible for reimbursing the organizer for the cost of your family's participation.
