Happy January! First I want to thank everyone who sent a christmas gift or card in with their dancer. Your kindness means alot to me and I appreciate it more than you know. Down below will contain much of what will be needed info for the exciting months to come.
Our Showcase theme for this season is called "Superheroes, Villians and Sidekicks!" We have some exciting choreo and costumes to share and the kids are working hard!

Studio Pictures: Date: Saturday April 5th. Where: At the studio. Times: specific times for your dancer will be in a binder out in the studio early March if not before. It will include any costume extras your dancer will need, along with a specific time your child should be at the studio to have their picture taken.

Performance fees: The last Half of the performance fees will be due in February. Per policy I will not be able to send any costumes home until this fee is paid in full. Its important to remind your dancer that Costumes should not be worn but put away somewhere safe until picutre day and then again until the showcase. We want them to be in the best tiptop shape for our big show!
End of the Year Showcase: I am in high hopes that we will get the same venue as last year but was asked not to reach out until February. I have asked all in previous messages to please mark your calendars for both the last weekend of May (May 31st and June 1st) But as a back up also June 7th and 8th. My hope is to get the earlier weekend. I will let everyone know as soon as I know. Thank you for your patience.
Tickets will be for sale a month or so before the show. Also each families 2 tickets will be available at that time as well. More info to come soon.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and support from my loyal families that have been with me for many years and to those just starting who are putting your trust in me to teach, guide and care for your children in all things dance and beyond. I honestly couldnt ask for a better dance family!
Dare to Love, Dream, Dance!

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
I pray everyone has had a restful and beautiful summer and is now settling in to there regular routines.
I wanted to keep everyone updated as the season starts, as we have some fun events coming up as well as other things to keep in the forefront of our minds. We will be closed for Halloween.Our annual Christmas show, and spaghetti dinner fundraiser will hopefully be on Saturday December 14th ( I will keep everyone posted)and everything raised will go toward competition fees. The show is for groups in classes ages 6 and up, who is interested in participating. Signups will be available on the cubbies in the waiting area in a binder late October to early November, highlighted green will be what their class will need for attire, (usually a specific-colored tee shirt) and highlighted pink is the sign ups. This is not mandated but encouraged. Apparel will be simple and inexpensive as always. I don’t want anyone to go into a big expense, and I have bought some fun props for the kids to borrow for the show :) Practicing for the show will be a part of their regular class time whether they want to be in the show or not as we always do a Christmas dance anyways. The show and spaghetti dinner are by donation and we greatly appreciate anything you are able to give. This is just an overall fun family experience that many, including myself look forward to. Please feel free to spread the word of this event and let’s make it a success together! Rehearsal will be at 3:00 and the show and dinner will start at 4:45. Our Christmans show will once again be at the South Hero Elementary School.
