2015-2016 Dance Classes

I have finally had a minute to begin getting organized for dance classes beginning in the fall. If you have received this email, you have a dancer successfully registered for classes. I will share a few dates and reminders with you now, but I will send more information closer to the beginning of classes. If you do not wish to have your child dance next year please notify me as soon as possible. All classes are full and I do have waiting lists. Thanks so much!

All classes will begin the week of Sept. 14 in the Parlor. The first month's tuition of $25 and the registration fee of $25 (for each dancer) will be due at the first class. You can find information about shoes and attire for classes by visiting holyrosarydance.blogspot.com and you can like Holy Rosary Dance Academy on Facebook. Please see the class schedule below.

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.
