November Update

It seems like we've only started classes, but it's already time to think about our 2008 concert. We will be holding two concerts on Saturday, June 8th, 2008. Our students will perform in both shows. As usual, audience members will choose one concert to attend. Dress rehearsal will be Friday, June 6th. If your child chooses to participate in class but does not wish to perform, please let me know as soon as possible.

I have tried to keep the cost of costumes as low as possible. This has been very difficult this year, as the price to everything has gone up. All costume payments are due no later than December 13. I have to place the order over Christmas break to allow plenty of time for delivery in April. You may pay for your costume anytime between now and December 13. This will allow you to make payments if have more than one child or if your children are in more than one class. Any costumes that have not been paid for by December 13 will be ordered at a later date. They will have a separate shipping and handling charge and are not guaranteed to be here in time for our pictures in May.

With winter approaching, I would like to review the studio's cancellation policy. If the Mtn. Grove R-3 school district is closed due to bad weather, then Dance Unlimited will be closed as well. You may call the studio directly if you are unsure.

How do days missed affect your tuition payments? I have found that the easiest way to handle this is for you to make your monthly tuition payment in full until April 2008. I will keep an account of any days missed due to weather. Your tuition for May will be adjusted accordingly.

Another winter issue is daylight. It's getting dark earlier, so I want to remind you to come into the studio to pick up your student.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the studio (926-4036) between 3:00 and 9:30 PM, or at home between 8:00 and 12:00 AM.

I would like to thank all the students who have worked so hard to make our studio what it is today. We will be working on their new dances after Christmas. All their hard work will pay off then. Keep up the good work!
