Hello Stage Door Dancers, Families, and Friends,
November is here, and with it comes a whirlwind of excitement as we dive into the holiday season. I hope this newsletter finds you all in high spirits and ready for a month filled with joy, gratitude, and of course, dance!
Before we delve into our exciting events and updates, I am very excited to officially announce our recital 2024 dates! The #BestShowEver will once again be heading to the beautiful Staller Center for the Performing Arts Stage for the weekend of June 8-9, 2024. Be sure to mark those calendars!
With all sorts of new information coming your way about classes, programing, or the recital, it's important to keep your contact information up to date in your MYSDSD portal. Staying connected is vital as it ensures that you receive all the latest SDSD news and updates. So please take a few minutes to double-check your information and make any necessary updates. It's important to us that we keep you in the loop!
Thank you to all of our families that joined us for this year's Fall Bash! What a spooktacular time we all had. Don't forget that November 1-6 mark's Halloween Costume Week, and all dancers are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes to dance class. Please keep all costumes age appropriate, avoid full face masks and props, and be sure you are able to comfortably move in your costumes for everyone's safety. We can't wait to see how creative you all are!
Speaking of creative... on November 22, most of our local school districts will be closed, but Stage Door has you covered! Dancers ages 6-12 are invited to join us for a 1-day drop-in edition of Stage Door Creative Camp, our creative arts day camp from 9am-3pm. Enjoy a fun-filled day that is perfect for our families needing activities while your dancer is home from school.
We haven't forgetting about our creative artists ages 2-5! Stage Door's next 12 week session of Fine Arts Club, our preschool creative arts program begins November 27 and will run all the way until March 6, 2024! Club members will be immersed in dance, yoga, and fitness, music, art, and drama every Monday and/or Wednesday from 9:30am-11:30am, all while making new friends, and exploring their own imaginations. What are you waiting for? Join the club today!
There will be no dance classes on November 7 (Election Day), but also please note that we will have dance classes on November 10 (Veterans Day). So be sure to mark your calendars appropriately.
You know that SDSD loves to give back when we can. We are always proud to host our annual SDSD Thanksgiving Food Drive, this year from November 6-11. Find the donation station in the lobby during these dates, and let's collect as many non-perishable food items as we can to help brighten the Thanksgivings of as many families, as possible.
We aren't done giving back yet; from November 13-18, it's Parent / Guardian / Grown-Up Appreciation Week here at Stage Door! We can't do what we do best without your passion for investing in your child's dance journey with us, and we wanted to say THANK YOU! All parents, guardians, and grown-ups are invited to stop by the studio lobby during your dancer's class time to enjoy coffee, tea, and a light snack, on us!
Registration is now open for our Guest Artist Tap Performance Workshop with Broadway Dance Center faculty member and popular competition judge, Brent McBeth on December 16. Mr. Brent brings a wealth of dance experience and tap knowledge that all of our tap dancers ages 7+ can benefit from. Secure your spot on the workshop dance floor now, and be sure to bring your tapping friends!
Last, but never least, while Stage Door School of Dance will be closed for Thanksgiving Break from November 21-26, don't forget to come out to cheer on our SDSD Elite Company and SDSD Select Program dancers as we kick ball-change down Main Street on November 25 for the annual Patchogue Holiday Parade starting at 6pm. It's always an incredible time and a perfect way to start getting into the holiday spirit!
