Happy October, Dance Families!
I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks that September went by too fast. Your dancers have been doing an amazing job of learning dance class etiquette, limiting talking and distractions, and are already showing improvements in dance technique. It's awesome!:)
Please remember:
- Tuition is due on the 1st. $10 late fee will be added after the 15th.
- Dancers must have hair up in a ponytail or bun, especially if they have long hair. I have been stopping class to put hair up, this isn't fair to the others in the class.
- Dancers need to wear proper attire and shoes to class. Please have your child try on his/her shoes. Some are already complaining that their shoes are too tight!
- Please put names on your child's shoes, bags, etc. Any items left at the studio will be put in a lost and found box.
Now for a few calendar updates:
Oct. 19 & 20: I have just found out that I need to be out of town on Wednesday (19) and Thursday (20) to present at a Statewide conference for my day job. I am working on finding a dependable backup instructor.
In the event that I cannot find a replacement, I might have to cancel the classes on those evenings. I will contact the families of the Wed. and Thursday classes if we do decide to cancel those dates. I will give you options to make up the cancelled classes. If you know of anyone that would be a great fit as a back up dance teacher, please encourage them to contact me! :) Thanks!
Oct. 24- Oct. 27: Costume Week!
I love holidays and Halloween was always one of my favorites. While it is not required, dancers are encouraged to wear a costume to class during the week. It makes for great photos and a fun memory. Dancers may go barefoot if necessary, no street shoes, boots, or "costume" feet- as those may be too slick or damage the studio floor.
Oct. 30: Talent On Parade Dance Directive (Master Classes)
While this is not a Studio Event, Miss Haley and Miss Michelle plan to attend. We wanted to share the information with anyone that might be interested. This Master Class is an excellent opportunity for dancers interested in expanding their dance background. Dancers will be exposed to various dance styles, national instructors, while being challenged and inspired in many areas of dance! Prices and length of the workshop varies with age and ability. Please contact the studio for registration information. Fees and registration will be due Oct. 11.
Nov. 14- Nov. 17: Observer & Food Bank Week!
The studio lobby will be open to Parents and Grandparents during observer week. It's a special time for you to see what your dancer(s) do during a normal dance class. We ask that if you can, please bring a food item to be donated to the Wellington Food Bank. Please remember: With the open layout of the studio, any talking or movement in the lobby is extremely distracting to the dancers. Young siblings may attend, but must remain quiet and off the dance floor.
Looking Ahead:
Nov. 23- Nov. 24: Thanksgiving Break - No Classes
Dec. 12- Dec. 15: Christmas Week & Observer & Food Bank Week!
Dec. 16- Jan. 1: Christmas Break
Jan. 2: Classes Resume!
If you have any questions or need anything- please contact Michelle via phone, email, or any other way! I appreciate all of you and thank you for allowing your dancers to dance with our studio. :)
