There's lots happening behind the scenes and there's excitement in the air!  A large portion of our class offerings will begin next week, starting Monday September 19.  We will send messages to each individual classes' roster confirming the exact start date and time, gym locations and instructors.  
These messages will come throughout the week this week, be on the look out!

Our website is being updated with this year's calendar (there are some dates that the school is NOT available due to PTA and district events.)  We will always send reminders of cancellations, but  PLEASE REMEMBER: When school is closed, so are we. 

Any last minute changes due to inclement weather will always be emailed.  Please check your messages before coming to class if there is ever a question about weather related changes.  Class parents will not call.  Email is the fastest way to reach everyone at once and is our primary method of communication.
Shoes & Dancewear

We've received several inquiries about the purchase of dance shoes.  Color requirements for the Spring Recitals will be posted by the last week of October.
For the first few weeks of classes please don't stress dance shoes. 

While we do not require dancewear,  it is welcomed and encouraged.  In lieu of dancewear, athletic clothing that does not restrict movement is acceptable.  NO Jeans, NO Bare feet.
Hair should be tied back, and jewelry and dangling earrings and any peircings should be removed.  No bare midriffs.  Older students are reminded to dress appropriately and always conduct themselves as excellent role models to our younger students.  All students will receive a free company T-shirt.  These will be sized during the first few weeks of classes and the orders should be delivered to everyone before Thanksgiving.  

NO CELL PHONE use will be permitted during class time.  Phones should be silenced once class begins, and not used until class is dismissed.  WATER BREAKS ARE NOT CELL PHONE BREAKS.

Class Parent Volunteers

As always we ask you to remember that this is a recreational community  program that relies on parent  support and participation to succeed.  If you are willing to help out this year (or share a class  with a partner parent)  Please email our class parent coordinator Jannette Hofmann at JannetteHofmann@aol.com .
