  • Remember that you are registering your child, not yourself! On the line asking simply for "Name" -- enter your child's name!
  • Check with your child's teacher regarding correct class level first. Levels this time are slightly different from recent conferences, due to space limitations.  Later adjustments may not be possible. 
  • Know the first and last name (and correct spelling) of your child's ballet teacher.  Thank you!
  • Again, remember that you are registering your child, not yourself.  In order for your child's name to appear on his/her name badge at the conference, the name you type in the "Name" field MUST be your child's name, NOT yours!  Thank you.
