October News and Costumes!

We have had a wonderful first month of dance! We are working on basics in each dance genre and have even started some recital pieces! I love seeing the girls so full of enthusiasm and eager to spend time with each other as we dance. October tuition payments are due this week. Please remember that a $5.00 late fee should be paid if tuition is not turned in this week.

I have been working hard at costume selections and thought you might like a sneak peak! Costume fees ($75) will be due with the December tuition payment. I need to order costumes over the Christmas break to ensure that they are delivered in time to make adjustments before the recital (May 4). The recital theme this year is "Set the Stage for Dance". We will be using lots of props!!!
