The sweatshirt will be black.  The logo will be hot pink.  Please send orders in no later than Friday, Dec. 2 with payment.  Thanks!  I will have order forms outside of the dance room on Thursday.

December News

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving! At this time of giving thanks, I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful dancers with me.  I am amazed each week at what they accomplish!  Please remember to send your December dance fees in at your child's first December class.  Also, costume fees must be sent in before the Christmas break.  (see the post below).  I will measure the dancers in class before the Christmas break.

If you would like to order a sweatshirt please send the order form that was emailed in with payment on or before December 2.  They will make great Christmas gifts! 

Dates to remember:
Thursday, Dec. 8- No Classes (Feast of the Immaculate Conception)
Monday, Dec. 19 and 26- No Classes (Christmas Holiday)
Thursday, Dec. 22-29- No Classes (Christmas Holiday)

Classes will resume on Thursday, Jan. 5 after the Christmas holiday.

Costumes!

Below are the costumes selected for each class.  There will be varied accessories (gloves, hats, jazz pants) added to each to help change the look for each dance, but the basic leotard will stay the same.  Please be sure to pay the costume fee  ($65) before the last class in December to ensure that a costume will be ordered for your child. I cannot order a costume without payment. They need to be ordered early.  If they are ordered the first week in January, they will arrive by the middle of March.  The recital is May 5.  We will need the extra time to make alterations if needed.  I will let you know if a costume choice changes based on availability with the company.
Thanks!  It is going to be a beautiful recital!

November News

We have had another wonderful month of dancing.  I am so proud of the dancers for working so hard! We are learning and developing our skills, as well as working on performace pieces for the May 5 recital. Please remember that the November payment of $25 is due at your dancer's first November class. 
There will be no classes on Thursday, Nov. 24 (Thanksgiving).

The costume payment of $65 will be due with the December payment.  I will be measuring for costumes before Christmas break.  I will put together a booklet to show you the costumes after the Christmas holiday. 

Enjoy the pictures of some of the students using our new ballet barres!  I will post more pictures soon!
This link has a wonderful dictionary with pictures of some of the ballet terms we are learning:

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.

Thank you! Thank you!

Thursday classes were a big success today!  I am so proud of all the Holy Rosary dancers.  We had a great first week.  I want to remind everyone to be sure to label all dance shoes with your dancer's name.  That way if they get left behind, I can return them to the proper owner the following week. 

Thanks!
