The Dance Corner News: February 2022

Hello TDC families! I can't believe it's already February. January passed by in a flash! So far we have already had a couple snow days this winter. Just like the schools we build 2 snow days into our calendar, so your annual tuition is based on 32 classes, but there are actually more classes than that on the calendar. If we miss the same day of the week more than 2 times in a season we will offer make-up class options to students. On days when inclement weather is forecast, please check your email, our website and Facebook and Instagram for information on snow-related class cancellations. If make-up classes are necessary we will plan those for the springtime when better weather will be upon us! I am excited to announce our summer class and camp schedule is coming this month and will be open for enrollment very soon! Summer is a great time for your kiddo to try a new style or continue to grow and improve their skills in the styles they are currently studying. We also offer fun mini-camps for boys and girls starting in June. Recital costumes are almost all here, and we will start sending them home along with more info about picture days and our June 18th recital in early March. Wishing you much all much love this February! Miss Carrie

Recital Music to Practice With

We encourage students to start practicing their recital routines at home. Your dancer can find their class' recital song on our recital website at- https://sites.google.com/view/tdcrecital2022/practice-music-and-videos-for-dancers Songs are organized by the day of the week your class meets and then teacher's name.

Online Class Access

Thankfully, covid case numbers are going down rapidly in our area. Our students are starting to learn their recital choreography, and it is important that whenever possible they are in the studio to learn their spacing and routines. We all want every child to feel confident and successful when they hit the stage.    If your child is quarantined or isolating due to illness or possible exposure, please contact our office no later than 3:30pm on the day of their class for afternoon classes, or by 6pm the evening BEFORE for morning classes so we can ensure the classroom is set up for Zoom and that your child’s instructor is prepared to teach a hybrid class. Email info@thedancecorner.com or call 860-663-3738.

We are thrilled to welcome Ashley Pierce to TDC as our Operations Director! Ashley is coming on board as the Operations Director.

It was here that she danced competitively as a member of the Dance Company and was inducted into the National Honor Society of Dance.  Ashley then had the opportunity to study dance performance and business administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. From there she worked professionally in the financial services industry, as well as continuing to teach dance.  Today Ashley resides in Guilford with her husband Scott, their daughter Kennedy and their dog Henry.
