Sorry Marquis Dance Academy, as I think you are talented, your show needs to be at least an hour shorter. Perhaps have a master of ceremonies that is more comfortable speaking as well, instead of reading from a piece of paper. The dances could flow faster, have groups standing ready to switch onto the stage faster (as I have been to other dance recitals and that was what I noticed, their switches were way faster). As far as the venue itself, this year it was too cold Wednesday and Thursday evenings and I happen to have a very large tall man in front of me that his head blocked the whole center of the stage for me, so bad I took a picture and posted my view on Facebook. That was so disappointing to try and watch my daughter dance :(. Oh also, for Marquis, even though this was not an issue in our case, I strongly recommend to the teachers, please rotate your choreography to the dancers in the back row, families come to "SEE" their loved ones dance. I know you can rotate them, so bring back row to the front please!!!!!!
