Happy New Year!
PAJAMA PROJECT SUCCESS! Thank you to everyone that participated in our annual pajama drive and Benefit Concert, what a success!! All the participating studios did an amazing job of turning a few heads by collecting a total of 1523 pajamas and 1631 books and $8000…WOW! What a great experience we shared together. We were able to donate to: Safe Harbor in Kaysville, Utah Foster Care Foundation from Ogden to Southern Utah, and Secretly Santa in Bountiful, UT. Great job!
STUDENT JOURNEY NOTE- PUSH THROUGH THE COLD WEATHER AND WINTER BLUES! While we can’t stop the snow from falling, we can help our dancers beat the winter blues by warming them up with dance. The Winter months are the best time to be attending dance lessons since seasonal depression kicks in and there is not as much outdoor time to be had. Dance lessons get you moving, laughing, and make you forget about those icicles outside for just a little while! If your dancer is struggling to push through and come to class, it’s worth the encouragement! If you can just get them in the door, they are going to have a great time and leave happier!

FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- JANUARY THEME
This month our theme is "I Need A Hero." We will be focusing on teaching our dancers important rules for safety and good manners! We encourage you to get involved and have them practice their skills at home! Here is what we will be working on in class this month: echappe, step touch with jumps, hips- side to side, following directions, angry faces.
PRESCHOOL DANCERS CAN NOW “EARN THEIR WINGS!”
We are excited about a fun incentive to help our preschoolers master their SKIPS! When dancers pass off skips at dance they will be invited to earn their wings at a “Fairy and Prince Tea Party!” on January 24th or February 28th. Start practicing your skips at home so you can EARN YOUR WINGS!
FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL AGED TUMBLING/ACRO STUDENTS
January Stretch of the Month- Hips | Strength Challenge- V-sits
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.
