|
| The dance and gymnastic year is now well
under way. We would like to thank all the parents and students for their
patience and cooperation during Registration Days and the first few
weeks of classes. The students are very eager to learn, and we are
excited about a great year ahead. If you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to call us at the Cordova Studio (383-8988) or
Arlington Studio (867-1972). |
|
|
|
|
 | Please make sure names are in all belongings
brought in the studio. |
| Please do not wear hair bows to gymnastics. They
get in the way and usually get left. |
| Please check the lost and found tub in the
waiting room if you are missing anything. |
| Leotards and tights are kept in stock if you
need new ones. |
|
|
|
| Tuition is due the 1st lesson of the month. A
late fee of $10 will be added if tuition is not paid
by the 15th of the month. |
| Please put your child's name on your check. If
you are paying by cash, please put the cash in an
envelope with your child's name on the outside. |
| Remember there is no deduction in tuition for
missed lessons and there are no make up classes. |
| The monthly tuition is averaged out over the
entire dance year--the five week months compensate
for the three week months. |
| Remember--we are offering electronic payments
this year. You may take advantage of starting
automatic payments at the beginning of each month.
Just fill out a form and return it to Joy. Forms are
at the front desk. |

SPRING RECITAL INFORMATION |
|
|
|
|
|
Our Spring Recital will be May 16 at Germantown
Performing Arts Centre. We will have a rehearsal at the studio on
May 9. This rehearsal is mandatory for older students. Mandatory
stage rehearsals will be on May 13, 14, and 15. Younger students and
gymnastic students will be assigned to be at one. Joy will have
schedules in March. May 6 is an additional Mandatory rehearsal for
Ballet III and IV, Tap III and IV, Jazz III and IV, Ballet Tech. III
and Pointe. |
| Please do not plan vacations between May 9 and May 16. Each
rehearsal is very important and students must be at the stage
rehearsal in order to be in the recital. If you have a conflict with
any of the rehearsal dates, you must notify Joy in writing before
January 1. Please check on graduation dates (High School and
Kindergarten) |
|

CHRISTMAS DANCE
PERFORMANCE |
|
| The dancers will perform in December at our Christmas
show. The date will be posted in the lobby as soon as it is available.
The younger students will wear black leotards and pink tights and the
older students will wear costumes from last year if possible. |
|
|
STUDIO DECALS |
|
|
COSTUME INFORMATION |
|
| Our Company Class is a group that performs
and competes around town during the year representing our studio. They
will be doing various fundraisers during the year to help defray their
competition and travel costs. The first fundraiser they will do is
studio decals for your car. Details and order forms will be passed out
the week of September 22. The deadline to order decals is October 9. |
|
| Since costumes add excitement and a professional
quality to our recital, all of our students perform
in costume in our May recital. Combination dance
classes will have two costumes and other classes
will have one per subject. Since the costume
companies are taking longer to process orders,
costumes must be ordered in December in order to
have them by May. Your first non-refundable costume
payment of $30 per costume will be due by November
20. The balance of the costumes will be due by
January 31. For any costume deposits made after
November 20, please add $15 per costume for separate
shipping charges. |
| We will have our recital meeting and observation
day the week of January 12 at the Cordova Studio and
the week of January 19 at the Arlington Studio. At this meeting we will
show pictures of the costumes, explain costume
pieces and accessories, go over how the recital and
rehearsals are run, explain picture days and other
important "recital time" information. If you have
any questions before then, please ask. |
