Aug performances, pictures and Fall schedule

Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It's going by way too fast! I wanted to remind everyone about a few things that are coming up. 

SAT. AUG. 6TH. We will be performing and riding in the South Weber Days Parade on Sat. Aug. 6th. This is for all of my dancers. Everyone will meet at the beginning of the Parade lineup. We will be in a white Ford truck with a trailer pulled over on South Weber Drive up towards the Apartments. (2100 East) Please have them there at 10:30 a.m. The parade starts at 11:00. The girls will wear their costumes, hair can be however they would like just make sure it is pulled up because it will be hot! Have them bring a water bottle and if they would like to throw candy send some with them. If they were in the tumbling dance or ordered the shorts outfit they can wear that in the parade and then change into their costumes after. (shorts and t's will be here by the end of the week) We will be performing at the park right after the parade. So parents that have kids that need to change please come straight to Stage area at the Park to help them change into their costumes. I will take the girls straight from the float to the stage area to line up for our performance. Please let your kids know that they need to stay with me behind the stage, they can not go out looking for you!!!

WED. AUG. 10TH. We will be performing at the Weber County Fair on Aug. 10th. The girls need to meet me at the Recreation Hall Stage at 3:15 all ready to perform. We perform at 3:45 and will be done by 4:30 so those that are doing the "Kid K Race" in South Weber will be done in plenty of time to make it back to participate in the race. 

I hope everyone will really make an effort to come to these performances. Performing is the best experience for our dancers and I hate them to only have 1 chance to perform. Plus it is so hard to not have your whole class there, formations and counts depend on everyone being there! I know summer is super busy and a lot of girls have not made it to class in July. I hope they can all make it back in Aug and be ready to perform.

CLINICS AND AUDITIONS FOR COMPETITION TEAM. Our clinics will be held on Wed and Thurs Aug. 17th and 18th. 

1st-3rd grade will come from 5:00-6:00

4th - 6th grade will come from 6:00-7:00

7th grade and up will come from 7:00-8:00

AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY MORNING.They will get their Audition time on Thurs. at the end of our clinics. 

PICTURES - We will take class and individual pictures on Friday Aug. 26th. I will post the times on our blog and Facebook next week. I hope everyone will make it to our pictures, even if you do not want to purchase them I would like all of the kids in them. I love to hang them in our studio and the girls really feel bad when they look at them and they are not in them. We are waiting until school starts so more can make it since summer is so busy!!

FALL SCHEDULE- I am working on our Fall dance schedule and would like to get it out to everyone the first of Aug. If you have a child going into pre school or Kindergarten (or if your work schedule has conflicts) will you please let me know if they are going in the morning or afternoon?

I also have tumbling classes available as well as technique and boys hip hop classes for anyone interested. For those that take more than 1 class gets a discount on their 2nd class and even a bigger discount for the 3rd class! If you are interested in adding one of these classes please let me know. 

Summer has been a lot of fun at dance!! We have been working on the girls pirouettes, flexibility and their technique. I have already seen an improvement in those that have been coming! They have really been working hard!!!! 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thank you so much for everything!!!!!

Parents Meeting for 2015-2016 Competition Season

I want to start off by telling you all thank you all so much for letting me teach your amazing children and share my love for dance with them. Its going to be a great year!

Next, I have been trying to get everything together for our Parents meeting Wed. night however, I still do not have all of the competition information and dates. Also, I have a great fundraiser we will be starting but our kits won't be here until next week. For these reasons and many others I feel like I need to change our Parents meeting to Wed. Oct. 21st at 7:00 p.m. I am attending a Studio Owners Convention this coming weekend in New Jersey and I am hoping to be able to pick out all of our costumes so I can bring back all of that information too. This meeting is very important so please be sure that you attend it. If you cannot attend please ask one of the other parents to pick up the information for you or let me know and I will email it to you. We will be voting on some things there, that is one of the many reasons I like everyone to attend. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know. We are setting up a Facebook Page for each Team that is going to be a great way to communicate with each other as well as many other things. I will be going over all of the details on that at our meeting as well. 

Reminder that Disneyland money is due this week. If I do not get it by Friday they charge $20.00 more per ticket. I still have several people that have not told me how many tickets you need and for how many days, as well as a definite yes or no. We will be starting to work on the Parade Routine in a couple of weeks. 

Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you at our parents meeting on Wed. Oct. 21st at 7:00 at the South Weber Family Rec. Center. 

Thanks,
Michele  

Performances, clinics, auditions and Fall classes

Hi, I just wanted to remind everyone of some important dates coming up. These dates are for Competition Teams as well as Training classes. I hope everyone will try to make it for both of these performances!! It is not fair to those that are their and only a couple of girls show up to perform. If you are going to be out of town please let me know before Monday. 

Wed. Aug. 5th we will be performing at the Weber County Fair at 5:30 p.m. I need all of the girls there and ready to perform by 5:00 sharp! We will be performing on the Recreation Hall Stage. (which is where we will meet) I have coloring pictures for all of the dancers under age 13 and for those 13 and up I have tickets for. (hair the same as Recital, they do not need to wear tights if they had them with their costumes) 

Sat. Aug. 8th we will be ridding or dancing in the South Weber Days Parade and then performing at the Park right after the Parade. The Park is West of the Church on South Weber Drive. This is a good place for parents to watch the Parade and then you can walk directly over to the Park for our performance. All dancers will meet at the beginning of the Parade at 10:30 a.m. We will be parked on the street where we took our dance pictures this year. (7550 East South Weber Dr.)

The dancers will wear their costumes from our Recital, if they ordered the shorts and tank tops they can wear those in the parade and then change into their costumes at the park before we perform. Please have them all wear tennis shoes, not dance shoes for the parade. Be sure to put sunscreen on them and send a bottle of water with them for the float. If they want to through candy in the parade please send some with them. My teachers, older dancers and myself will take ALL of the girls behind the stage at the park and start lining them up for our performance. If you as parents will talk to your dancers and make sure that they do not leave us to try and find you! Let them know that you will bring them their dance shoes and costumes!! For this performance just pull their hair up into a ponytail. It is too hot to leave it down. 

Monday and Tues. Aug. 10th & 11th. We will be holding our clinics for my competition teams. For anyone wanting to audition times are as follows. Clinics and auditions cost $15.00 per dancer. Please pay at the first clinic. 

kindergarten - 3rd grade will come from 4:00-5:00 p.m.

4th - 6th grade will come from 5:00-6:00 p.m.

7th grade and up will come from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Auditions will be on wed. aug. 12th starting at 4:00 p.m. You will get your audition time Tues. at our clinic. 

For all training classes we will start our Fall Schedule the first week of Sept. (Aug. will stay our summer schedule)

If your dancer is going to be in pre school or kindergarten please let me know if they are a.m. or p.m. so I can get those schedules out in the next week. I will also be starting a new toddler class for anyone with a 2-3 year old, also a ballet/technique class, boys and girls hip hop class and tumbling classes. If you are interested in one of those please let me know. For anyone that refers a new dancer to me I will give you a $5.00 credit to your account per dancer. Make sure that they let me know who refers them.

I think that is everything for now. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for all of your support and I look forward to ending this dance season with a BANG and look forward to a new dance season!!
