WHAT PROGRESS LOOKS LIKE IN DANCE: Achievements in dance can be seen in small ways and big ones, and we advocate for celebrating both! In our experience at Expressions Dance, progress is much more about the personal wins than it is about the name or number of your child’s class level.

The studio will be closed for Spring Break March 29-April 2. Enjoy your time off! As a reminder, tuition is based on the season regardless of how many weeks are in a given month. Monthly tuition is calculated based off the total number of classes during the year, split into equal monthly payments.

FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- MARCH THEME
Every month our lesson plan focuses on learning and mastering several skills. In March our theme is "Leavin' on a Jet Plane." We will be taking off on an adventure to explore a different country each week. We will discover new styles of cultural music while incorporating valuable dancing skills. We are also starting recital routines this month! We will be focusing on: passes (ballet and jazz), toe/heel rocks, balancing, sad faces, chasses, and keeping our hands to ourselves. We encourage you to get involved and have them practice their skills at home!
FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL AGED TUMBLING/ACRO STUDENTS
March Stretch of the Month- Lunge | Strength Challenge- Handstands facing the wall
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.

As the season progresses additional recital information or updates will be posted on the website, in monthly newsletters and on the school bulletin board.

The success of the show is a team effort of students, their parents, the teachers, and the director.
