December Newsletter *** INFO about Christmas Performance

December Newsletter

*Classes that do Jazz and clogging need to plan on working on both dances every week during the month of December in preparation for our Christmas Performance.

*Here is the information about our Christmas Performance

This is an amazing benefit performance that we have tried to participate in every year.

Share a Little Christmas

Share a Little Christmas Benefit Concert and Charity will be held at Alice C Harris Intermediate School, 515 n 800 w (by the Fairgrounds) in Tremonton on Saturday, Dec. 20th. There will be entertainment from local groups from 9:15 am to 1:00 pm. Our group will be performing at 9:15 am please be arrive at 8:30 am dressed and ready to dance.

As part of the Charity we will be collecting new Pajamas and books to donate to the New Hope Crisis Center (the Women’s Shelter) in Brigham City. Please bring all books and pajamas that you are going to donate to dance class before the 20^th so Emily can sort them by sizes and have them ready to turn in.  You do not have to donate, this is just if you would like to. There is a box in the studio.

Santa will be there and pictures with him will be posted on www.tanglewood-studio.com for you to download. If you want a picture with Santa, please bring a can of food to donate to the Tremonton Food Pantry.

Your child will be given their paper pajamas the first week of December.  We are asking each dancer to do 4 if they can.  Each Paper pajama is worth $1.00.  When you child collects a dollar donation, they write the name of the person donating and return it to the studio.  We hang them on the wall during the month of December.  All money is taken to the performance on the 20^th.  

If you are wanting to donate more money (not just paper pajamas) you can make a payment at the performance.  There will also be a BAKE SALE.  All money donated will be going to the Nathan and Kathy Taylor family from BR City. This young mother of 6 is battling cancer and recently lost their prematurely born baby.

 PLEASE invite as many people as you can! We would love to SHARE our talents with as many as possible!

 

*There will be no dance for the two weeks we are off of school in December.  We will resume dance on Tuesday, Jan 6 and Thursday Jan 8.

* Upcoming competitions.  We will be going to Thanksgiving Point on March 7th.  Please keep your calendars open.  Competition fees will show up on the February statement.

*Lagoon is on May 2nd this year.  Competition fees will show up in April on your statement.

*My oldest team will be going to Springfest on April 19th. 

When to Come to Class

Did I mention dance starts September 9th and 11th. Wahoo!!!

Shoes for Sale - Catherine Bentley

White Lace Up shoes - Size 2.  These are at the studio for you to try on if you are interested.  $30.00.

Shoes for Sale - Marlene Black

If anyone is interested, I have two pair of white lace-up clogging shoes that my daughter has outgrown, sizes 3 ½ & I think size 2 (the size print has worn off). 

$30 for the size 3 ½  (bought new in February 2013, and used only until the end of clogging in May 2013, outgrown by August 2013, and have been sitting in a box since then). 

$20 for the size 2 (a little more worn but still very good)

Call Marlene 257-2251 or 230-3035 if you are interested.

Welcome Back

Cost this year is $25/month.  Discount for families is available.

Registration Fee:  $10.00 per student  (this fee helps with buying new supplies for the studio each year)

* there is a $20 maximum for families who register multiple children

Your spot is reserved once you turn in your registration with your $10.00 fee. 

I apologize, there were a few things unclear on the mailer I sent out.  Your child does not need a white and a black pair of shoes.  The younger two classes on Tuesday are black, everyone else on Thursday is white.  I still rent out black shoes so call me if you need a pair. It is $15.00 a year.

Class times were crazy on that mailer.  :)  Classes will start at 4pm on both Tuesday and Thursday.  Here are the correct times:

Tuesdays

4 to 4:45 – Tiny Tots (5-6 year olds)

4:45 to 5:30 – Mini Miss (6-7 year olds)

 (This class is far from full.  If you know anyone who would like to take you get some tuition off for recommending them)

 

Thursdays

4 to 4:45 – Starz (8-9 year olds)

(This class is far from full.  If you know anyone who would like to take you get some tuition off for recommending them)

4:45 to 5:30  – Junior team (10-12 year olds)

     5:30 to 6:30 – Senior Team

* I marked this class off for an hour.  The last 15 minutes will be solos and individual event time. 

I am really excited to start dance. I have missed the kids and the music :)

Emily

PS. If you are not planning on taking this year will you just send me a text or email so I can take you off the list.

I am still working out the Lagoon date.  Here is the issue.  As stated in last months email, I have two teams that did not qualify for Lagoon.  They are competing this weekend to try for a first place.  If they don't we will have to compete on May 3rd.  I apologize for this change in date, but this hasn't happened before.  The other problem I am having is there are 4 people who have told me in the last two weeks they can't come on the 3rd.  There are 5 that have said they can't on the 10th.  Since clogging is a team sport I might just have to pick the weekend the most people can go anyway. That being said I am leaning towards going on the 3rd. I will let you know by Saturday which day we are going. I really am sincerely trying to do what is best for the students.

Call me with any questions.  The girls have worked hard on their dances. I am really excited. C/ya there. 

Messy Buns

Here are some tutorials on how to do messy buns.
You don't have to do the zig zag part.

Notice that my Wednesday at 3pm class has the messy buns really high on the head. My Thursday at 4pm class will have them really low on the head so they sit behind the girls ears. This picture shows high messy buns, the kind I want for my Wednesday at 3pm class. This picture shows messy buns a little lower.  I would like them either here  or a bit lower for my Thursday at 4pm class.  No higher than this please.

Thursday 5pm - Boots

Notice the ripple after the boardwalk.

Thanksgiving Point

All dances are on the blog to practice.


Please pay attention to your arrival and your performance time.  The competition sometimes runs ahead and sometimes runs behind.  I can not hold the dance for late arrivals. I also have no control if they perform an hour late (though this competition has never been running behind) Arrival time means dressed and ready inside the building.  There is no fee to get in.  It is easy to find people once inside so just look for team members or me.  Competition is in the Red Barn (it is really a red barn) at Thanksgiving Point.  The Red Barn is between the dinosaur building and the main building.  Everything is listed under your childs time that she takes dance from me. Your costume items and how to do hair is listed under your team information.  This will also be emailed to you and a text sent. Call or text if you have questions. 435 720 3226

Happy New Year! Just a reminder: class starts up again the week of January 6th.  Our next performance will be at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi on March 8th. Competition fees are due by February 10th (I will hand these out the end of January). All fees not paid by then go up by $5.00 a dance. That is not from me, that is from the competition organizers.  Most teams will have two dances.  If you are interested in Solos, freestyle, acapellas, etc.  come talk to me.  Remember all those who participate in individual events will receive a medal at the end of year recital.
Looking ahead:
Lagoon is on May 10th this year.
End of year dance recital is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 17th at 7pm.  
Last day of class will be the week of the recital.
