Well everything is back into full swing after that great winter break
and the kids have settled back into their classes and choreography for
recital has begun! Please make every effort to have the dancers at all
their classes so they don't miss choreography; it really holds everyone
back when we are missing dancers. But please don't bring them if they
are really sick!!! I have to say that thus far it has been great with
students attending classes and we really appreciate that. Thank you
Great job dancers at the Miss Niagara Pageant- you were fabulous
All costume balances should be into the studio now and if you are new and have to pay for one yet, please make sure we receive it ASAP! they take a good 12 weeks to come in and we want them in for photos!!
We
do have class on Presidents day!!! If we took off every Monday
holiday, we would rarely have class. so please be sure to come in if
you are a Monday class.
Competition team has payment #2 due March 1st! Pulse and Nuvo Valentines weekend- you will be briefed more at the next comp meeting 2/8 @ 6:30 Comp team remember you have rehearsals on Feb 4th!!!!
Easter Chocolate will be out very soon. If you are looking for a way to cut costs you receive 25% of what ever you sell!
It will go directly onto your dance account. I know many of you did
this earlier in the year and paid off costumes- so if you want to pay
off some tuition this way that would be great! Forms will be available
in the office.
Competition Team will be hosting a Beer Blast
to help defer costs for competition. It will be held at Hair of the
Dog on Buffalo Ave. Thank you Tammy for letting us host this there :).
It will be held on 3/23/12 from 6pm-9pm. Cost is $20pp and
includes Free Beer and Food. Please help us out if can, they will have
drink specials for those of you who do not like Beer. But $20 for food
and beer for 3 hours is an awesome price and it will really help the
kids. Tickets will also be available at the desk. Thank you and please
spread the word.
