Tuition
Please pay tuition by the 1st. After the 7th a $10 late fee will incur. We are allowing dancers to add classes until the 3rd week of February. Please be sure to fill out the add/drop/switch form to officially enroll or switch classes. Please also make sure your tuition was adjusted properly. Remember, any classes that are added will have to pay for tuition in June unlike current classes that were paid for in September of 2019.
Desk and Lobby Space
The lobby has been very busy with lots smiling faces both new and old lately. Because of this it's become quite messy. Please be kind and clean up after yourself and your family. It creates a very late evening for our staff when we have to walk around picking up toys, goldfish, clothing, shoes and so on. Lastly, our desk is for STAFF only. Please do not sit there. This area contains sensitive personal information.

Flashback February
Our theme this month is time! We will be teaching, reviewing and practicing counting music. We will also work though timing phrases differently such as contagions, cannons, ripples and rounds. To make things fun we have themed each week. Dancers may dress up but they must remain in dress code underneath.

2/3-2/8 Future Week
This can be depicted in many ways! We will be goal setting and revisiting past goals to compare. Dancers may dress in what they want to be when they grow up or in what they thing future fashions may consist of.
2/10-2/15 80's Week
Back by popular demand! Dress up in your best 80's attire. We are even allowing ponytails to all classes except Ballet & Acro (must be neatly secured and non distracting). 80's music will fill our Class rooms while we try totally rad patterns of timing.

2/17-2/21 90's Week
Pull out your most fly outfits for the week. We will be getting jiggy with all the best 90's music and moves. It's going to be phat!

2/22-3/1 Winter Break
Our School will be closed for winter break. We will re-open on Monday March 2nd.

NEW CLASSES
We have a slightly new schedule as it is that time of year for classes to get a good grooming. See link below. We are now offering some new entry level classes. Enrollment for these and all of our classes will be open until the 3rd week of February.

Musical Theatre- Fridays 5:00-5:30pm
Musical theatre dancing can be described as a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through acting & music.

Lyrical 1- Fridays 5:45-6:15pm
Lyrical dance is a combination of Jazz and Ballet styles with a deeper emotional component. *Students must be enrolled in a Ballet class to participate.

Tap Club- Fridays 6:15-7:00pm STARTING 3/6
Tap club is a 7 week club that is student driven teacher directed. Each week the teacher will give patterns and challenges to the club. They will also be tasked with creating their own patterns and rhythms. The club is $42 total. All ages are welcome as our program is designed for multiple ages and levels.
Student Accolades
The Superstars program is a monthly award given to students who have shown extraordinary talent, effort, and all around role model behavior. Students must have perfect attendance that month to be considered. We announce Superstar every month by announcing each winner in the newsletter and on our website!

Aubree has recently pushed outside her comfort zone, tried new classes with new teachers and loved it. She comes each week with a positive attitude and the will to learn! Great job Aubs, keep it up.

Mikaela P . -
Mikaela is one of our Teen dancers who recently performed onstage by her self in her first solo. We find that to be a very brave and beautiful achievement. Thank you for joining our school we can't wait to see what dance has in store for you.

Lydia H.-
Lydia attends class each week extremely excited for class with her hair up and hip hopping outfit on. She patiently waits by the door for class. We love her energy and that she is always dressed for success.

Zoe is a life force! She comes to every class with a giant smile and her body is alway in proper attire. We love her curiosity for everything! We can't wait to see where dance takes you.
Photo of the Month (Jan)
We snapped this picture backstage last month at Recycled Percussion. There are no words to describe how close our dancers are sometimes. This is where "a picture is worth 1000 words" rings true. We are incredibly grateful for all of our dancers and their friendships.
Family of the Month (Feb)
The Hamilton Family!
This family has been with FFD from the beginning and has been nothing but supportive and encouraging to us and all of our dancer families. They are kind, incredibly helpful and we are so grateful to have them in our school. We hope to return the favor and show them some love this month!
