The Dance Corner News: February 2018

Hello TDC families! I can't believe it's already February. January passed by in a flash! So far we have been spared significant snow this winter, but just a reminder to please check your email, our website and facebook and instagram for information on snow related class cancellations. You can also sign up for text alerts in the customer portal. Just log into your account, click on the "my contacts" tab and check the "receive text alerts box next to your mobile phone number. We also change the main studio outgoing voicemail message to let you know we are closed if and when we do have to cancel classes. I am excited to have the opportunity to learn and grow as a Dance Studio leader and business owner at Studio Owner University this month. I will be attending this conference of studio owners from February 5th-8th. I will be out of the office and checking email rarely during this time. Please contact MissJenny@TheDanceCorner.com or MissNicole@TheDanceCorner.com with any questions you need addressed immediately while I am away. You can also call, 860-663-3738 or stop by our office in the front building and one of our staff will be glad to help you out. We are celebrating love and kindness this month at TDC. Be sure to check out our lobby bulletin boards each week for your chance to share something you love about yourself, dance, and others. We love hearing from all of you and hope our spotlight on love and kindness inspires everyone to perform an act of kindness everyday this month and all year long. Imagine all the kindness there would be if we all did at least one caring thing for another person everyday! Wishing you much all much love this February! Miss Carrie

TDC Performance Groups Dance at Community Show

We are so proud of our TDC Company Performance Groups for sharing their love of dance with the community! Troupe, Sparkle Squad, HipHop Crew, & their class assistant Miss Katie had their first community performance on January 20th at Apple Rehab Saybrook. Look out for our TDC Company Performance Groups on February 10th, with our next community performance at Chestelm in East Haddam.

Important Dates:

Costume Bills

Final Costume payments are due 2/15. Please pay your balance promptly in order to have your costume in time for pictures. Costumes will not be sent home until they have been paid for.    Families with dancers in multiple classes or more than one dancer enrolled may have larger costume bills. If you have a problem paying your costume balance by 2/15 and need to workout a payment plan, please contact Miss Carrie. Families enrolled in annual, monthly or semi-annual Auto-Pay bills will have their costume balanced charged to their credit/debit card on 2/1. Please  log in to the customer portal  before then and update your credit card or bank information if necessary.  Any unpaid balances for all customers will be charged to your payment method on file on 2/16.

Sick Children in Dance Class

Not Feeling Well Today? We of course, do not want children to miss their dance classes, but if your child is sick with a cold or flu, please keep them at home. This time of year there are lots of germs circulating (that pesky stomach bug!), especially among our littlest dancers.  If you are worried about your dancer getting behind, please   contact Miss Jenny   about scheduling a makeup class.  We want every dancer to have the best experience possible!

Recital Tights

Each student will receive a pair of tights with their costume for the recital (except boys). We guess-timated the tights sizes so it is possible that the tights included with your costume are not quite right for your dancer. When you receive your tights, please check the size chart on the back to determine if they will fit. If they are the wrong size, please bring the incorrectly sized tights to our dance shop in their original package and we will give you a new correctly sized pair of tights. Please do not try your tights on. Once they are out of the package they cannot be exchanged.

February Break

 Yay! Vacation! The Dance Corner will be closed from Friday 2/16- Thursday 2/22. CLASSES RESUME on Friday 2/23.

Monthly Tuition Payments

Monthly Tuition bills are due the first of each month. Make your payments conveniently and securely online by logging into our  Customer Portal . Not sure how the Portal works?  Click here to watch short instructional video . It's an easiy way to manage your account with us anytime from anywhere!   We accept credit and debit card payments online or you can pay directly from your bank account by e-check. Customers can also opt for auto-pay and avoid the extra step of logging in to pay each month. Notify our office that you would like to be an auto-pay customer, enter your payment method into your account online and your account will be automatically charged on the 1st of each month. You may also pay by credit/debit card, cash or check in our Dance Shop.  All customers were required to submit a credit/debit card or bank draft information at registration. If your account is not paid in full by the 15th of the month, this payment method will be charged for the balance due on the 16th of the month. If your payment is declined, a $10 late fee will be applied to your account. A $25 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.
