January Newsletter

I was so excited to get started again. There are just a few things for this month.

* If you get more than two months behind in your payments, your child will not be allowed to continue taking till you are current.
* THE BLOGG IS FINALLY UP AND RUNNING. I will post a few times a month the videos for each class. You will also be able to find information on there about upcoming events.
* The 4:30 class will have a charge this month for the socks they were given at the Christmas performance.
* The 6pm class will have a charge for tights (except for those who already ordered with the first order)
* The 6:45 class - they did not have the sized we needed for the tops so I am still looking. When I find them you will be charged.
* Some kids in my older classes are in need of private lessons. An email will be sent to you if your child needs that. The blogg is also a great, FREE way to practice what is being taught.

UPCOMING EVENTS
* The Thanksgiving point competition is just around the corner. The event will be held March 3rd at Thanksgiving Point so mark your calendars.(Keep in mind that championship and pro levels are on Friday night) There is a $14.00 entry fee for each dance your child participates in. All teams just perform 1 dance at this competition. I will be calling to see if your child is doing solos. The entry fees are due by Feb 11th so THEY WILL APPEAR ON YOUR NEXT MONTHS STATEMENTS AND ARE DUE BY THE 10TH. Otherwise the fee goes up after that to $18.00.
Here is a tentative schedule. THIS COULD CHANGE AFTER REGISTRATION, THE COMPLETE SCHEDULE DOES NOT COME OUT TILL THE WEEK BEFORE AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CHANGE A LOT.

You no longer have to pay to have your family come watch at these events YEAH!!
