With "Love Day" coming up this weekend, we can't help but think about the LOVE we have for all of you in CHIPPS Nation! Your dancers are working hard to learn and practice their recital dances, and they have made such great progress since the beginning of the season. We're proud of them all!

Happy Dancing Always...and Lots of Love,
Nancy Chippendale
IMPORTANT DATES
  • February 14-21: February Break - no classes.
  • March 1-31: Recital information published (to be communicated via email).
  • April 18-25: April Break - no classes.
COVID REMINDERS
Please keep in mind, as you make plans for the coming months, that dancers who are exposed to COVID, test positive for COVID or travel overnight out of state must follow all state guidelines for quarantine and/or testing prior to returning to dance. We are unfortunately not able to offer make-up classes.

Newburyport dancers must follow MA Guidelines.

And as always...
  • *Remember your dancer's mask AND make sure it fits properly. Keep a spare one in the dance bag. Thank you!
  • Do not send your child to dance if anyone in your household has stayed out of school or work due to feeling under the weather - even if their symptoms aren't blatantly COVID-related.
  • Parents MUST wear a mask when at the studio - including in the parking lot. Help us keep our faculty and staff safe!
RECITAL COSTUMES
Recital costumes are beginning to arrive! Dancers will be receiving their costumes in class beginning now, through April. Please try your dancer's costumes on as soon as possible after receiving them, and let us know of any major sizing issues right away!

Be sure to keep all costumes in a safe place until it's time for recital, including all pieces and accessories that come with them (not all costumes will have accessories).
NEW FROM CHIPPS ON DEMAND!
We continue to add to the library of classes available via www.CHIPPSOnDemand.com, and have lots of fun programs specifically designed for dancers ages 2-6 (though older and younger siblings are loving them too!). All of the below and more are available with all Babysteps-1st Grade CHIPPS On Demand memberships, and dancers can take class whenever and as many times as they'd like!

**SPECIAL OFFER**: Purchase a NEW Babysteps or Preschool CHIPPS On Demand membership during the month of February and receive your second month FREE! (No code needed. Month begins at day of membership purchase, not calendar month.)
