January 2018 Newsletter
Welcome Back and Happy 2018! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Holiday Bazaar! We had a great time!
 
We are anticipating an exciting 2018. The studio is beginning to prepare for the end of the year recital. Yes, already! This newsletter is full of information about costumes, classes, attendance, and so much more. If you have any questions, please contact the front desk at 301-846-4247.
 
Please remember to pull your car into a parking space and walk your child into the studio safely. Please do not stop in the middle of an aisle to drop off or pick up your child.  Student safety is of the utmost importance.
 
Hand washing and dressing warmly is very important. Germs aren't shared if they are washed
 off. Bodies are warm after class but it is important to cover up before going outside to help prevent injuries. We want all the students healthy. Thank you for being part of 24/7 Dance Studio.
 
 
Sincerely,
Gina Korrell, Artistic Director

Costume Update

Recital costumes are ordered. Some will start to arrive as early as February and some may not arrive until April. Once the costumes arrive, students will try on costumes during the last 10 minutes of class to make sure all the pieces arrived. Teachers will report major costume issues to the front desk.
 
Plan to help your younger student try on costumes so they do not lose any
 costume pieces. It is your responsibility to have costumes altered if needed. Each costume company recommends the best size based on your child's measurements. Please keep costumes hung neatly and keep all accessories with the costume. Do not allow your children to play in their costume until the recital is over.
 
Look for the LABEL ON THE COSTUME BAG. This will list which tights, shoes, hairstyles, and accessories are needed for their dance. These labels also will tell you when the class's scheduled picture day and time is as well as their dress rehearsal and recital days and times. PLEASE keep this information in a place that you can easily refer to.

attendance
Attendance Policy

As the recital approaches, it is important that each student makes every effort to attend class. If your child misses more than 3 classes after February 1st, they risk their participation in the recital. Each class will start working on their recital pieces in February. A portion of each class will be devoted to the recital dance and that makes your child's attendance very important. Make-up classes are no longer offered after February 1st.
 
Tardiness
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EACH STUDENT ARRIVES IN CLASS ON TIME.
 
Reminder:
2 times late = 1 absence
2 time leaving early = 1 absence
2 times watching = 1 absence
 
If your young child is late, please go to the front desk and have the desk staff take them into class for minimal disruption. Make it your New Year's Resolution to be 10 minutes early for class.
 
If you have any questions/concerns, please contact the front desk at 301-846-4247
New Year Reminders

As we start the second half of our dance year, we would like to remind you of a few things:
 
*Please remind students to go to the restroom BEFORE class begins.
*A parent must be in the building for all students age 7 and under. If you know that your child has difficulty using the restroom by him/herself or has any other difficulties and may need you, please stay in the building.
*Please check to make sure your child comes to class in the proper attire. A list of proper attire requirements for each class can be found in your Studio Guide and on our website.
*If you wash your canvas ballet shoes, let them air dry, they will shrink in the dryer.
*Lastly, please try to leave the studio as you have found it. We do our best to provide a clean environment for all of our students and appreciate our students and parents efforts to keep it this way.
 
We are thankful you chose 24/7 and hope you enjoy your year with us.

Ambassador Message

Happy New Year and welcome back!
Dance is an emotional outlet and stress reliever for many of us. You may
dream to be a dancer when you grow up (as do I). Don't just settle for being a
dreamer, be a person of action as well. Be willing to not only dream, but be
willing to step out towards these dreams. Your dreams are what give you
insight to who you are in spirit and in heart, and we must have enough
confidence to make our dreams a reality. Believe in yourself and don't let
anyone stand in your way!
As you come back to class and start learning your recital choreography be
confident, work hard, take notes and practice! Remember your dreams and
don't let them get clouded by what others think or say... be you! If you see a
fellow dancer struggling and frustrated, be supportive/encouraging and help
build their confidence. You can make a difference!
I believe in you and look forward to seeing you all on stage in June!

-Bradley Garcia
