ACADEMY Newsletter - March 2017

It is spring time at the Academy and we are gearing up for warmer weather, performances and summer dance. Read below to stay up-to-date on all of the Academy's news!

Tuition due

If you pay tuition by the month or on the installment plan, your payment was due March 1st. The Academy does not charge late fees so please reciprocate the courtesy by paying on your dancer's first class of the month.

Thank you!

Dress Code

We have noticed that some of our little dancers are coming to class without their ballet bun! Being properly prepared is one of the life skills we foster at the Academy. Please make sure you have your dancer's hair securely fastened so that it is not a distraction for them during class.

Another no-no....wearing your ballet slippers OUTSIDE! Please have your child wear their street shoes to class and change into their ballet shoes once inside the building. This prevents the outside dirt from getting on our dance floors and keeps your little dancer's shoes pretty and pink.

And a reminder that for girls tights are considered the ballet "underwear". You don't wear underwear with your swimsuit and dancers don't wear undies under their tights and leotards. Boys do wear a pair of tight fitting briefs or special dance belt.

Class attendance

We truly expect our students to attend every class in which the student is registered. Ballet is a disciplined art form that requires a student to be completely committed. Students who do not attend class on a regular basis will fall behind, and not build the necessary skills and strength needed to succeed and move to a higher level.

Next month, many of our classes will begin working on their class presentations for our end of year performance and we need to make sure your child is prepared. Thank you for supporting your child's journey in dance!

Thank you for helping your child be the best they can be!
