FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- NOVEMBER THEME
This month our theme in dance is “E-I-E-I-O” We are going to have so much fun moving like horses and dancing with our duck feet. We hope you are having fun dancing with us at home!
This month we are focusing on: kicks, marching, ballet arms (port de bras)
CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS AND BOOKS CHARITY PROJECT
This year’s Christmas Charity Project is going to be even bigger than last year! We are so excited to be a part of the 12th Annual Dance For Life BENEFIT CONCERT! We are gathering new pajamas and books and selling $1 paper pajamas to donate to those in need locally. All the proceeds from the concert will go directly towards our overall donation. Participation details are coming. We will be sending out an email that can be forwarded to family and friends about our project. Start bringing in your donations this month! Look for the donation box in our front lobbies. Help us beat last year’s total of 1094 pajamas, 459 books, and $6000!
We are going to open up our Scholastic book program to ALL of our dance families just in time to order books for the benefit concert. Scholastic is an amazing resource with GREAT books at a GREAT price!! You can order $1 books for our book drive and they will be shipped right to the studio. Visit Scholastic Books HERE and take advantage of this convenient way to donate to our book drive. Online orders are due by Friday November 15th.
CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCES
Our Christmas shows include STARS ballet/jazz classes, preschool dancers, Hip Hop, Little Leapers/Dancing Dolls, and Company Teams. Dancers that filled out a consent form can view the final instructions for costume and arrival times HERE. If you turned in your consent form, costume and participation fees have been added to your October & November tuition payment!
FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL AGED TUMBLING/ACRO STUDENTS
November Stretch of the Month- Back/Bridge | Strength Challenge- Wall Sit
We are so excited this year to have a “stretch of the month” and a “strength challenge” in our acro/tumbling classes! Encourage your child to work on these skills at home to help them improve even faster! Be more involved by printing off the at home practice tracker HERE.
CLASS REMINDERS
Ö Potty before class, especially preschoolers!
Ö No underwear under your leotard. Tights are dancer's underwear!
Ö LATE! We have had a lot of late comers and late pick-ups. It is very disruptive to our classes when you walk in late, not to mention unsafe for dancers to miss warming up. Late pick-ups are preventing our next classes from starting on time, and our teachers from getting home to their families. Thanks for your attention to this manner!
Ö Cold and flu season is underway. It is never fun to be sick or to have a sick child. Let’s watch out for each other by being aware. If your dancer is sick please keep them home. Thanks!
HIP HOP CLASSES- SHOE POLICY
With winter weather approaching, we need to remind you that we CANNOT have wet, salty, muddy shoes stepping onto our dance floor. Please carry your hip hop shoes into the studio and change into them before you enter the classroom. You will be asked to dance with no shoes if you don't have a dry pair! Thank you!
