September/October Newsletter 2010

During this first month, THANK YOU in advance for being patient with me while I am trying to perfect the classes. Classes will be pretty set in stone by the end of September.

Some reminders—
Special orders due by Oct 1st
• Window decals with your child’s name- $7
• Parent & Family T-shirts- $15-18
• New Warm-ups- $85
• Backpack Sling Bags-$24
• Boycut Shorts, Leotards, Tights
We will not be carrying a stock of all these things as we have in the past. I will only be doing special orders during certain times of the year.

1- I am looking for room parents to sign up to be in charge of parties (Halloween and Christmas) and some recital duties for each class. If you would be willing to be in charge of organizing your child's class snacks for party times, please sign up in the office.

2- October 25-27th, the dancers can have Halloween parties at the studio. The dance classes may come in their costumes! That would be great!!! We will dance, play games and party. If the room parents could organize the food and snacks and who brings what, that would be super! Tumblers can dress crazy, but no costumes due to safety reasons for when we are spotting…..sorry! We will still party in there though too!

3- We are ordering warm-ups this year for anyone interested..they will be $85 + tax. They will have our embroidered logo on the back. Check out the details online! Orders and payment due Oct 1. Will be back by Nov 15th! Christmas presents???!!!

4- We are going to get Parent & Family T-shirts this year. They will be black and our design on the front will be green/blue. On the back they would say: i.e. Megan's Mom, $16 for sizes S-L, XL & 2Xl are $18. If you would be interested in ordering any, please do so in the office. These are great to wear when we go to performances, car pooling, conventions and such.Great for Grandparents and sibling's too! Same logo as last year-new color. Orders must be placed by October 1st.

5- I will be ordering costumes in December, so I will need costume money in November. Just a heads up for those who plan like ME! Dance & Acro Costumes are $50. Please include the costume money with your November Tuition. Costumes money is non-refundable. Must be paid no later than Nov 15th for your child to have a costume for pictures and recital (must have to participate..

Please check these places for information regarding performances. I will send notes out to groups at various times with performance opportunity info.
For our performances, students will need to wear: Black Jazz pants and Black Dance Express Tanks-IF you do NOT have one already all ORDERS DUE BY SEPT 15th for me to get them on time!!!. If you are in a dance class and do not have one from last year, make sure you have ordered one. Order in the office! We are NOT carrying any on a regular basis anymore…all orders. When we do extra performances at games, performers get in free, but everyone else has to pay…SORRY! And performance times are approximate…game times can vary…so make sure you tell your family plenty early.

I hope your son/daughter is having a great time in dance/acro/cheer class. My goal is that everyone furthers his/her knowledge and ability with dance while having fun too! I know I am truly enjoying each of them. This is a dream job come true for me. Thank you for being a part of it!
