The perfect Christmas gift

Dance Unlimited T-shirts may still be ordered.  We place the order every two weeks and all proceeds will go toward the costs of the Branson Dance Convention in February.  If you're interested in a T-shirt, check at the desk.

Costumes

It is time to order costumes again.  All students should already have the proper shoes; please remember to clean and/or polish them at the time of the show.  Your November newsletter will have your child's costume form printed on the reverse side.  Some items are marked "not included," and are not part of the costume cost.  These items are your responsibility.  The items marked "included" are what will be purchased with your costume payment.

Costume payments are due no later than December 16.  This will allow me to place orders over Christmas break and allow plenty of time for delivery in April.  Any costumes not paid for by then will be ordered at a later date with a separate shipping and handling charge.  These costumes ordered later will not be guaranteed delivery in time for pictures in May.

I have worked very hard to keep the cost to a minimum.  This has been very difficult this year, as the price of everything seems to have risen.  Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

Here so fast

It is already time to begin thinking about our 2011 concert.  Our concert date this year is June 4.  We will be performing two shows, and students will need to dance in both.  Audience members must choose one concert to attend.

If your child chooses to participate in class, but not the concert, please let me know as soon as possible.

Weather notes

We are coming to that time of year when holidays and bad weather may close the studio.  The studio closes when the Mtn. Grove R-3 district is closed due to weather.  If you are unsure about whether the studio will be open, call me or check the studio's Facebook page.  We will also attempt to send out an e-mail, but the blog and Facebook are your best bets.  

I keep track of any days missed in order to adjust payment in May.  Even if a class is cancelled, please make all tuition payments in full through April 11.  In May, I will adjust your payment or credit you for any amount due.

Please remember that with the coming of winter the days are shorter.  It is very important that you come into the studio to pick up your child.  We will not send a student out into the dark.
