Happy September!

Hard to believe the summer is over.  We hope you and your family enjoyed your time off and are as excited as we are to see a new academic year begin.
Just a few reminders we ask you to keep track of as our new dance and drama programs get geared up:

Payments are due September 15 (in full if your family pays for one class, half of your family's balance if you have two classes, and a third of your balance if you have three or more classes.)  Your Payments can be made by credit card through our online parent portal, checks can be mailed to West Islip Creative Arts at 845 Keith Lane, West Islip, NY 11795.

FOR DANCE STUDENTS
We've received many inquiries about shoes and appropriate footwear for different dance classes.  We will not determine or announce recital colors for shoes until the end of October.   In the meantime as we are a recreational program we do not require specific attire for dance classes but ask you to adhere to the following criteria for safety and comfort reasons:
  • NO Jeans
  • Dancewear is encouraged but not required
  • NO BARE FEET or stocking feet (please do not send students to dance in socks only)
  • NO pajamas
  • we will be providing t-shirts, please feel free to wear them to class
  • athletic wear such as yoga pants or shorts, and tshirts that are not oversized or too long are great alternatives too
  • Lyrical classes will require tan / nude foot undies
  • Tap classes - younger children can wear dress shoes until a color selection is announced
  • Ballet Classes (especially PreK & Kindy) please no black ballet slippers.  Pink or white are ok, as they can be painted if necessary.
  • Pom Classes - recital shoe will be white kaepa prisms
  • All other classes - please wear sneakers until colors are selected.
  • Please limit jewelry, especially no dangling earrings or necklaces
  • Please wear long hair tied back.
***********************************************************************
We will soon be announcing opportunities to purchase custom dancewear and athletic gear.  Our order form will soon be complete and posted for your convenience.

ALSO - it looks as if we might have to cancel our grade 3-5 Irish Step Class due to low enrollment.  We would hate to see it go.  If adding it to your child's schedule was something you were considering, please make the addition as soon as possible.  Just a few more students would help us keep the others enrolled.

While many classes are full, there are a few with room.  Families that already have an account opened can add available classes through the parent portal.

If you have any questions we have not answered, please contact us via email and we will respond as soon as possible.
