Dec 21- Jan 3 | NO CLASSES FOR WINTER BREAK! We hope you all have a wonderful December! Our schedule stays the same when we return on January 4th. The classes you are currently registered for will continue through June 2020. NOTE: We charge the same amount every month for convenience and consistency to our families. Holidays and studio closures are factored into the season’s tuition amount and is then broken into even monthly payments.
HOLIDAY PARENT PEEK-WEEK PERFORMANCE DETAILS! Stars, Hip Hop, and Preschool dance classes have started working on holiday routines! We will be performing for parents over Zoom the week of Dec 7-11th. We are super excited to give these kids take a chance to show off their hard work! Watch for an email with details for how to join us for the peek-in when it gets closer! If your dancer wants to practice for the big day, head HERE to find music and videos for our Holiday Parent Peek-Week!
RECITAL CONSENTS NEEDED BY DECEMBER 15TH!
Can you believe it, we are already preparing for our next big show! Coming up in June will be our Tumbling Exhibition and our year-end Recital. Recital commitments are due by Dec 15th by filling out the form HERE.
We realize there is so much unknown about events with large groups right now. Last year's Red Carpet Recitals were a wonderful alternative to our big theater performance and might be one of the most memorable experiences we've ever provided for our dancers! No matter what our Recital ends up looking like in 2021, we promise to make it a wonderful event for your family.
Recital costumes must be ordered months in advance, so we're moving forward to continue using the end-of-year performance as a tool to build confidence and provide a sense accomplishment to our students- even if that still has to look a little differently than we would like it to. We hope you'll join us in this celebration of a successful year of hard work!

New knowledge and skills abound when it comes to preparing for the recital … and we’re not just talking about learning dance steps! There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to all of the advantages of recital participation.

PAJAMAS AND BOOKS are due by Dec 11th
Our annual pajama and book drive is going on now! Our project will help support Utah Foster Care and several other local Utah charities. We are collecting new pajamas and books at both studios until December 11th. We hope you will join us in this cause!
We are also collecting monetary donations which will go towards more jammies and books! Bring in cash or Venmo donations to @danceforlife and include the dancers name so the amount can go toward their service society recognition!
What is Service Society? The pajama and book drive is our “Winter Project” and an opportunity for dancers to qualify to become a member of the “Expressions Dance Service Society.” To meet the qualifications for Service Society, a dancer needs to donate 10 pairs of pajamas, or 20 books, or $50 in cash donations. We will also accept a combination of the three donations (ex. 5 pjs and 10 books). We want to encourage students to put their hearts into this by asking friends and family to get involved and donate towards our project. Students who meet the donation requirements will be recognized for their service with a certificate. These credentials will acknowledge their involvement in a good cause and will look amazing on future college scholarship applications and resumes! We are so excited to have a program within our studio to help teach our students the importance of service and community involvement! To get credit for your donations be sure to fill out the form on the clipboard next to the donation box!
FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- DECEMBER THEME: In December our theme is "From My Heart to Yours." Each class will be focused around Christmas! This month we are focusing on: gallop, moving your head, shoulders, 6th position (feet together), sharing, and toe touches. We hope you can find time to review these elements with your dancer at home. It is a great way to get EVERYONE moving!!
FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL AGED TUMBLING/ACRO STUDENTS
December Stretch of the Month- Straddle | Strength Challenge- Superman: 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.
BOUNTIFUL PARKING LOT REMINDER: Please don’t wait in the pull through line for students to finish classes. If you’re not pulling through, park in a stall! This will eliminate congestion and backed up traffic.
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!
