A Note From a Dance Family
On behalf of our dancer, Brielle Almeida and her family, we want to thank everyone that has already donated to the Toy Drive for the Maddox J. Almeida Foundation. The family is extremely grateful for everyone’s generosity and help with making this event a success in honor of Maddox’s memory. Please note, new/unwrapped toys can still be donated until 12/7/24.
Costumes
ALL COSTUME MONEY IS DUE BY 12/14. Unfortunately, if your fees are not paid (INCLUDING TUITION), then I cannot order your child a costume and they cannot be in the Recital. Costumes are now priced at $85 each. Please keep in mind these prices are cost per costume. Please check your parent portal for your balance or inquire with the office. There will be an additional $10 fee for an XL & up Adult costume. I know this is a tough time of year for people to be spending extra money but I will need to order the costumes in December to ensure their arrival. There will be a $10 fee for a costume size exchange if the company allows exchanges.
Food Drive
We will be holding a food drive this month! Please help by donating non-perishable food items. The items will be donated to a local soup kitchen/charity. Thanks for all your help. All items are due by 12/21 please and can be placed in the bin in the waiting room.
Spirit Week Scholarship Fundraiser
Inclement Weather
As we approach the winter season, we may need to cancel dance classes due to bad weather. You will be notified via email/text no later than 3:30 PM (Monday-Friday classes) or 7:00 AM (Saturday classes) of that day. We will also leave a message on the voicemail so you can call to check as well. Please note, we do NOT cancel automatically if schools cancel (especially if snow has stopped and roads are clear by afternoon). We will hold a make-up class for any classes canceled due to weather (typically during vacation weeks).
Bay State Workshops (Acro 2 & up Only)
If your child is enrolled in Acro 2, Acro 3, or P Tumble, and would like to participate in this collaborative event, please visit the office by 1/4/25 to sign up! Waiver & $35 cash fee are due at sign up. Please contact us if you have any additional questions.
