Spring Session: March 21- June 11 Showcase/Demonstration Dates: June 11

Dear Parents,

Thank you for registering your dancers with us for the upcoming session. I am very excited to get back into the studio for a great year.

Ballet and Tap shoes are required. Most girls wear leotards and tights. Most boys wear black pants and a white t shirt. Skirts, tutu's, leg warmers, shorts are all welcome but none of this is required as long as their clothing is comfortable and allows them to move. We also have a 'borrow box' they are welcome to look through before purchasing gear.

When you arrive for class please gather in the lobby for your child to put on their tap shoes and use the restrooms. I will meet you all there and walk them up to the dance studio or into the black box which we will be sharing throughout the year. Dancers will bring their ballet shoes with them. Putting their names in their shoes and even their own bag lessens mix ups. At the end of class I ask that parents come up to get your dancer from the studio. I will open the door when class is over.

Each week parents are invited to sit in and be the helper - if one is needed. This is mostly for shoe change and potty breaks but occasionally helping bring everyone's attention back to the instructor ;) This also allows you to be able to sit in and observe!
