FALL 2023

Since the Park District was established in 1966, we have grown and prospered because of the input and involvement of our Elk Grove Village residents. Our mission is to provide safe and innovative parks and recreational opportunities. As we continue to live the mission of the Park District, we need your help.

Competition: While teaching safety skills, we will also have a competitive track. This is where we work with the swimmers in the high levels to help us compete on our swim team, The Elk Grove Stingrays!

OUR PHILOSOPHY

• A relationship exists between instructor behaviors and student performance.

• Students learn in different ways and have different readiness levels.

• The focus should be on ability, not disability, achievement, not errors.

• Multiple methods of instruction, including “learn by doing” results in higher levels of student performance.

• Effective instructional methods can be learned and developed.

OUR cLASSES

• Register your child for the program that corresponds with their age. On the first day of class, staff will test new participants to place them in the correct level.

• No Make-Ups for missed group lessons.

Welcome To The Pavilion Dance Centre!

We feel the education that dancers receive from the art of dance is unmatched. The satisfaction we get from watching so many amazing kids grow up and learn to love and appreciate dance is immeasurable! We want to provide unique opportunities for our dancers, and help them to experience many disciplines of dance. We want our dancers to strive for and achieve high goals, while at the same time having fun! We want the experience dancers have here to be a lasting part of growing up… it is our hope that the lessons they learn, their love for dance and the friendships they make at the Pavilion Dance Centre will last a lifetime!

About the Recital Program

The Pavilion Dance Centre recital program offers dancers an opportunity to perform in both Winter and Spring recitals! Recital class tuition rates cover the entire recital season (September 2023-June 2024) and includes a $75 costume fee for Preschool through level 1 classes and a $85 costume fee for level 2, junior, teen and adult classes. Costume fees are non-refundable for any reason after December 1, 2023. Recital students are required to register only one time per year and begin classes in September, after Labor Day. Class placement is based on age, technical level and experience. Our instructors are highly trained professionals who work hard to ensure proper level placement of our students during the first month of classes in order to maximize the experience for each student. The PDC program is designed to develop well rounded dancers as we offer both recreational combination classes in addition to the option of taking individual disciplines. Each style of dance is unique and offers advantages to a dancer’s training. Core disciplines such as; ballet, modern/contemporary, jazz and tap are strongly recommended. PDC instructors will focus the first few months on introducing and practicing new dance vocabulary and technique, followed by learning choreography for both Winter and Spring recitals.

Recital Participation

“Dances from the Heart” Winter Recital takes place at Elk Grove High School in the theatre during the beginning of February. Students enrolled in recital classes will perform in one of the three shows. There are no technical or dress rehearsals for the Winter Recital. More information will be available late Fall. The 2024 Annual Spring Recital will take place June 8-9, 2024 at Harper College Performing Arts Center in Palatine. Classes are categorized into specific recitals to balance and present a variety of ages and dance styles. Each recital will have a mandatory “all day technical rehearsal” in the theater prior to the show dates.

Technical rehearsal will be June 7, 2024 and is mandatory for dancers in level 1, level 2, Junior, Teen and Adult classes to attend and required for the safety of all parties backstage. It gives students an opportunity to dance on the stage with lights and sound, practice safe entrances and exits during blackouts and rehearse proper spacing. More information on technical rehearsal and Spring Recital times will be available in Spring 2024.

Non-Recital Program Information

The Pavilion Dance Centre’s non-recital program includes three sessions throughout the year; Fall, Winter, and Spring. Registration is required at the start of each session. The non-recital sessions are a shorter time commitment that do not include a recital performance or costume fee. Our non-recital sessions are a great way for a new or beginner level student to experience dance on a short term basis or for recital students to supplement their dance training. Parents are welcome to view their non-recital student’s progress during the last week of each session.

Individuals and corporations are invited to support the Foundation through monetary donations or in-kind gifts. Your donation of any amount is gladly accepted at our customer services desks at the Pavilion & Hattendorf Center.

The Elk Grove Park District is not a part of the Village of Elk Grove Government. The Elk Grove Park District is a stand-alone tax supported agency. You may have an Elk Grove Village address, but not pay taxes to the Elk Grove Park District. The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your resident tax bill. The park district you pay taxes to will be listed. If you reside in Elk Grove Village, but do not pay taxes to the Elk Grove Park District, you are eligible for the Non-Resident Household Membership. (See definition below) District residents will have priority registration as the dates of registration are listed in the seasonal brochures. Resident and non-resident fees are listed with the program information. When establishing a new household account with the Elk Grove Park District, and including an online account, each resident is required to prove residency in person. This is a matter of data verification to make sure we have the most updated information in our new system. Once completed, we will activate the online portion.

Please bring one of the following items for each household member with you to set up your account:

Adults (Over 18) Dependent Children under 26
