Costume Fees

As outlined in our studio price sheet and policies page, the costume fee covers the cost of recital costumes, accessories, order fees, etc. The fee(s) have already been be added to your account, and you should have received a paper detailing these fees in class last week.

A $15 late fee will be charged on November 11th to all accounts with unpaid costume fees. Your costume(s) will not be ordered if they have not been paid for - no exceptions!

Early payment is appreciated! All costumes fees MUST be paid by November 10. It may seem early, but we need to get costumes ordered ASAP so we can make sure we have plenty of time to get them in, have the students try them on, and make any exchanges or alterations needed so the kiddos can get them back before pictures and recital!
Monday Make-Up Classes

Due to classes being missed on Monday, October 11th, make up classes will be held on Monday, November 22nd. All Monday Hip Hop classes, Combo classes, and Jr. Tap will be at their regular times. Only the classes listed below will be meeting at a different time than usual:

Mom & Me and Dad & Me Dance

This is a great opportunity for parents to learn a dance to perform on stage with their dancer at the Spring Show! It is always a lot of fun and a big hit at recital! The "Mom" or "Dad" can be an Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent, family friend, etc.!

This year the ages for these dances are:

9- 12 years old for Mom & Me*
13+ years old for Dad & Me*
*Students should be this age sometime during the dance year.

Practices are usually held on Friday evenings and will begin in February, and there is a $40 fee due by the first practice.

Sign ups are limited for these dances and will begin November 1st
Ballet Auditions, Levels 1 - 6
Thursday, November 11

Auditions for the Peter Pan ballet production will be held in place of regular ballet classes that night. Please note that while you do not have to audition for a role, ballet auditions will be treated as your ballet class for that night and we will be taking attendance. The auditions are a great experience and an important part of our ballet curriculum! Those who are not wishing to audition for a role will still participate, but they will perform in front of the judges with a group rather than auditioning individually.

Auditions Schedule:
Ballet 3/4 & 5/6 warm up: 4:45 - 5:00
Ballet 3/4 & 5/6 auditions: 5:00 - 6:00
Ballet 1 & 2 warm up - 6:00 - 6:15
Ballet 1 & 2 auditions - 6:15 - 7:15

The roles students will be auditioning for are:
Peter Pan
Wendy
Tinkerbell
Captain Hook
Wendy's Sibling

Small extra roles:
Crocodile
Peter Pan’s Shadow

Roles will be announced Thursday, November 18

Dancers who get one of the small extra roles will still participate in their group dance.

Feature parts in group dances could be rewarded to some dancers who did not receive a solo. These features will be based on audition scoring, but may not be announced on November 18.

Information about auditions was sent home on October 7th. If you are missing your audition note, let us know and we can get you a new one!
Visitor Week Update

Due to larger class sizes this year and out of concern for COVID-19 and the upcoming cold and flu season this fall, we will not be having our normal in-class visitor week. Instead, we are going to be sending videos out to all the parents so you can see some of what the kids have been working on in classes this year!

Our dancers are hard at work learning a special dance to perform for their friends and family! Parents will receive an email with a video of their child's performance to enjoy at home. This will be sent out the week of November 15, which would have been visitor week!

We know how how much our kids and their families look forward to Visitor's Week every year, so we are going to re-evaluate in the spring to see if we can do some kind of in-class visitor week or mini-performance.

Benefit Bake Sale

The week of December 6th - 9th we will be having a bake sale at the studio to benefit Rogers County Youth Services! 

Rogers County Youth Services has responded to the needs of the youth and families in our community since 1976. RCYS is the only non-profit counseling agency governed by a local board of directors whose focus is only on Rogers County children, youth and families. All of their programs and services are provided completely free of charge to ensure every person has access to high quality care in their home community. They are making a real difference in the lives of children, youth, and families in our community, and we are excited to be able to donate to such an important organization!
