ATTENDANCE POLICY REMINDER

Please read our attendance policy as a reminder: Once your child has 12 UNEXCUSED absences they will NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PERFORM IN RECITAL, regardless if you have already purchased the costume or any items associated with Recital. An excused absence is one where a doctor’s note is provided. Please submit documentation to the office to have your attendance marked as EXCUSED. If students are absent on a regular basis, it hinders the whole class and choreography. Some routines also require partners or assistants for stunts so if everyone is not present, it would negatively impact others. If your child habitually misses class you will be required to schedule a private lesson for the cost of $25 at the instructor’s discretion.

If your child is going to miss class please call/email/message us to make us aware. We are tracking attendance and will reach out if you are coming close to not being able to participate in Recital. Keep in mind this is the LAST thing we want to happen so please help us to keep your child in Recital.

Free Fitness Week

Inclement Weather

Just a reminder: if there is no class due to the weather, it will be put on the studio voicemail no later than 3:30 PM during the week and 7:30AM on Saturday. We will also email and post on all social media outlets. Please call the studio if you are unsure.

Dance Videos

When we email out the dance videos home to parents, it is not only so you can see the students’ progress but also as a tool to help kids practice at home. It would be very helpful if students referenced the videos at home for extra practice before they come to class each week. If you are not getting videos, please let us know immediately. Reminder– per the competition team contract, sharing videos of our competition choreography with non-dancers or on social media prior to nationals is PROHIBITED!

Costumes

As stated previously in an email: We have begun receiving some dance costumes and are starting to hand them out. If your child is in Mini Movers or not in Recital please disregard the following information.

When we get the costumes in, they are steamed, inspected, and put in a garment bag. The label on the garment bag has your child’s name, what class the costume is for, what color/type tights they need, what shoes they need, and what accessories are included. From there, your child will try them on in class to make sure they fit and look good. Not all costumes are in as I still have ship dates in March so do not worry if you do not get your costumes for a while. When we try them on in class, if you are concerned with the size, THAT is the ONLY time to request a size exchange for $10. Once the costumes leave the studio, I can no longer accept them back for a return. We will also determine the placement of accessories during the try on. This will then be documented and put into the costume book (which you will have access to shortly).

You CANNOT lose the costume or any of the pieces and the kids should NOT be playing with or trying on the costume at home. Please put it somewhere safe until picture week. Some costumes may need slight alterations so please have this done before picture week. If you lose any pieces please let me know ASAP and you will be required to order a new costume at $85. There is a chance the costume will NOT ship in time and if that happens, your child CANNOT participate in Recital.

Order Your Child’s Recital Music To Practice At Home

Besides sending home videos, we will be offering the sale of your child’s cut Recital music on a USB flash drive. You are welcome to look the songs up but 99% of the music is an edited version of the original song for various reasons. The cost is $10 plus tax. WE ARE ALSO OFFERING THE ENTIRE RECITAL SOUNDTRACK (Over 50 Songs!) FOR JUST $20 plus tax (GREAT FOR SIBLINGS IN DIFFERENT CLASSES)! Please fill out the google form below if you are interested in purchasing recital music for your child to practice with at home.
