COVID-19 UPDATE
The health of our staff, students, and families has always been our highest priority. Expressions Dance & Preschool follows the Safer Studio guidelines, which prioritize a hierarchy of safety and wellness measures. They include, but are not limited to, wellness checks, amplified and frequent hand hygiene, enhanced environmental services, minimizing mixing and mingling via physical distancing practices, curricular and facility adjustments, and continuous parent communication. As a reminder as we are going into regular cold and flu season, it is important that we continue our combined efforts to follow these guidelines. Please continue to monitor your children and do not send them to class if they have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose, etc. Thank you so much for everyone’s enhanced awareness and efforts in keeping our dancers healthy!
CHRISTMAS CHARITY PROJECT
Although we are not going to be performing in our annual Dance for Life Benefit Concert, we are still going to be collecting PJ's to donate to those in need of a comfy new pair of jammies this holiday. Get your dancer involved by watching for PJ's at a good price. All the proceeds and PJ/books collected will be donated right here in Utah. More information to come!
JUNE RECITAL-JUNE 19, 2021
A big part of dance training includes learning through performance! Our June Recital offers our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present to their families and friends the results of a year’s hard work, dedication, and progress. Watch a video about recital.
The Dance Handbook includes all performance details. All families need to submit recital consent forms in order to participate in recital by Dec 15th. There are two ways to participate in the recital: Fill out the online recital consent form HERE.
FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS
We are excited to have a new section each month just for preschool dancers! We love the month of October…This month our theme is “Itsy Bitsy Spider!” We will be making an alphabet brew in our classes this month! The last week of October we will be celebrating Halloween in class by wearing our costumes to dance! We encourage you to get involved and have them practice their skills at home! This month we are focusing on: running, rolling our wrists, heel digs, grand battement, scared face, doughnuts and our scary faces!
