October

We have had a wonderful first month of dance. The girls are working hard to learn the basics and we have even started to work on a few recital pieces. Remember to mark your calendar for the recital on Saturday, May 5. The time will be arranged soon.

October payments of $25 are due at next week's classes. Please be sure to place your payment in an envelope marked with your dancer(s) name(s). Please remember, a $5 late fee will be added to late payments. Checks should be made payable to Emily Miller.

There will be no classes on the following days:

Monday, Oct. 10- Fall Break

Monday, Oct. 31- Halloween

Thursday, Nov. 24- Thanksgiving

Dress Code

Dancers should wear leotards and tights to dance class. This allows for greater movement and allows me to observe their body placement and use of correct technique. No specific color will be required, but please keep it conservative to help avoid distraction in class. Younger students may have skirts attached to leotards, but please no large tutus or costumes.

Older students may also wear dance shorts, Soffee type shorts or yoga pants over leotards. Again, please keep colors conservative. Jeans may not be worn.

Hair should be pulled up in a pony tail and away from the face.

Boys
Boys may wear athletic shorts (no mesh) and plain t-shirts for all styles of dance. All boys should wear black tap shoes, black ballet shoes, and black jazz shoes.

Shoes
PK3 through 2nd Grade-pink ballet shoes and white tap shoes. Please make sure white tap shoes have elastic or buckle closure. They should not only be secured with a ribbon tie. See the pictures below for preferred styles. These may be purchased at Target, Payless, Cordova Dancewear and discountdance.com.

3rd grade and up- pink ballet shoes, black jazz shoes, and black tap shoes. See pictures of preferred styles below. These may be purchased at Cordova Dancewear and discountdance.com.
